Just wondering what the majority thought...

Now that I have plenty of interviews, I am thinking of cancelling some. However, the first I would cancel is scheduled for just over a week from now. How much time do the programs consider ok - or should I just go and use it as a practice? (I doubt I'd rank this particular program; it was just in a good geographic area.)

Is a week too short? Or should I just go (and not risk the wrath of the PD network)?

I'd cancel as soon as possible. I imagine most programs would rather have the chance to call another candidate...one week is plenty of time to do this, rather than have someone show that's not interested at all.
 
I guess it's not that I'm "not at all interested" - I'm just more interested in too many others. It's just the first one I've changed my mind on - thanks for the support.
