Hey all, so it looks like the universities communicated without me doing much and came to an agreement together. I didn't end up having to negotiate it myself, so I hope it works out this way for any internationals in this situation in the future.

I see in the results page that someone posted they were accepted into Princeton on the day that the interview notifications went out. Does anyone know if Princeton has sent out some acceptances as well as interviews? Is this common?

Thanks for the advice. I think I might try to get one uni to pay for the flight and the other internal transport (I hadn't even factored those costs in) and maybe even accomodation. I'll check back in when it's all sorted so anyone else with a similar situation in the future can compare my experience.

I have been invited to two interviews a week apart at Yale and Princeton. Both universities have offered to pay for my trip, Yale has offered to book a flight, while Princeton has offered to reimburse me. However, as I am coming all the way from Australia, it is unreasonable to fly home in between. I assume this happens to international students frequently, but I was wondering if there is an etiquette in whether I should refuse one offer to pay for the flight, or see if I can get them to each pay for one leg? I realise this is probably a good problem to have, but I am a little bit worried that the situation will cause some confusion and I may end up looking rude.
