a school that i got an interview for made me RSVP by Jan 4. The next day I got an invitation to a school that i want more, which has their interview at the same time. after about a week or so i decided to go to the school i liked better's interview weekend. i told the first school i need to reschedule...they sounded sketchy, and haven't gotten back to me are they going to cancel on me? is it really rude that i am moving them? i am not flying so i didnt have plane tickets and they are going to have to schedule me on a random weekend that isnt a full on recruitment weekend. i feel really bad but i am going to do what i feel is best. both programs are about the same in terms of rank. advice?

does not being able to attend the official "recruitment weekends" hurt my chances of being accepted?

I have already RSVPed to two grad schools and then I just got another invitation whose two weekend options are ones that I already have filled up by other schools. The school is university of chicago and I live in Indianapolis, so it's not hard to drive up there. Would they schedule me on a random weekend? Or will they just drop me altogether? A phone interview maybe? I have no idea how this works. I really regret accepting one of the other invitations now because I really like UofC, but it's too late now. Anyone have experience with this?

Any suggestions on good schools?? THANKS!
