This happened to me as well. Try to not change those original interviews you already committed to, I don't think that comes off so well. I would stick with trying to get UCSD to give you an alternate date. Overlaps happen all the time. If you express that you are very excited to visit/interview but already made previous interview commitments they should work with you. If UCSD won't give you alternate dates then I would go back and try to move other dates as a last resort, especially if UCSD is one of your top choices.

I was able to see a list of all the interview weekends for the Vaderbilt IGP (and QCB) programs. I thought I would post here in case that is helpful to anyone: Jan 10, 17, 24, 31, Feb 14, 21, 28, March 6, 13, 27.

My interview weekend is February 6-8. There are probably multiple weekends though and they might depend on your specific department of interest. I applied before the Nov 25th priority deadline if that is helpful. Good luck!

I applied to the umbrella BioMolecular program yours may be totally different and on a different timeline. Don't worry I think it's still super early. I just got a call yesterday afternoon from BBSP inviting me to interview. I applied a few days before the priority deadline and my top program of interest was toxicology.

December 1st, although I applied a few days earlier, Nov. 24 I think. GPA 3.68 top 10 liberal arts school no GRE scores as none of my programs required it research experience: 2 summer REUs, research intensive study abroad program, currently on my first year as an NIH postbac. I've currently got one middle author pub and several presentations at national conferences, I would also guess that the department knows my current PI. Good luck to everyone! I'm still waiting on all my other schools and really crossing my fingers on UNC BBSP which is definitely my top pick.

Just got my first interview invitation today from MSU! Not my top choice but still really relieved to have an interview somewhere. Good luck everyone.
