neuroticism

I thought UCSD BMS's alternate date was Feb 27-March 2?

So I just got a Chemical and Systems Biology interview from Stanford (yay!) but their interview date conflicts with Harvard BBS (which I've committed to...and I also have an interview with UCSD during Harvard's other interview weekend). Any advice? I'm worried that Stanford will tell me that if I can't make their interview weekend, I have to forfeit chances of admission. (Which would make me very sad.) Applied (9/9): Harvard BBS, Yale BBS, Princeton MolBio, Stanford Biosciences, UCSF Tetrad, Wisconsin MolPharm and CMB, UCSD, Berkeley MCB, Rockefeller Interviews: Harvard BBS, Yale BBS, Stanford Biosciences, Wisconsin MolPharm and CMB, UCSD, Berkeley MCB Rejections: UCSF Tetrad

Me too on both counts. Don't you wish these schools would all agree to send their invites at the same time? UCSD contacted me super-early, and now I have to rebook my flight there because I got a Berkeley interview that's in the same week (and I'm on the East Coast, so flying back in between for one day is obviously a no-go). I feel bad for having UCSD pay for a flight I can't use, and I'm also mildly concerned that nobody is going to cover my flight from San Francisco to San Diego. These places pressure you to make your travel plans right away and then later you're kind of up a creek. (Not that I'm not super excited and grateful to have these interview opportunities, it's just that the logistics are a huge pain).

Hey guys, I'm freaking myself out (hence my username) and thought maybe one of you might be able to reassure me? I got a Harvard BBS interview a while back and didn't respond (i.e. filling out the online form they give you) til yesterday because I was waiting to hear from someplace else about dates. But now I'm worried that because I waited so long to fill it out, I might not get an interview spot. Is that a legitimate concern? They say "spots are limited" but I wasn't sure if that referred to having an equal distribution between weekends or if they actually send out more interviews than they can accomodate.

Hi everyone, I've been a lurker, but I've decided to come into the light in order to crowdsource a question. I just got a call for a Berkeley MCB interview (a pretty awesome Christmas present, if you ask me), and the professor I spoke to had a really thick accent. I was thus (somewhat hilariously) unable to make out the dates for the interview she mentioned, and she said they wouldn't email me til January...so I now don't know what the interview dates are. Anyone know them? I'm pretty sure there were two possibilities (one of which was maybe Feb 2-4?)
