NeuroKat111 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 So I got an interview offer that I accepted early in December from one program, but I recently got another interview from a different one that is in the same week. The second program has multiple interview dates, but they told me that this particular date has faculty that I requested to interview with. They can change my interview date, but I'm in a dilemma over whether I should request it. I know that having 2 interviews can be exhausting, but I was wondering if getting interviewed by faculty outside my field could decrease my chances? Thanks for the feedback!
pnc95 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I asked my graduate mentor and she advised me to do back to back interviews to just get them all out of the way with at once, but it's definitely a personal opinion. If the faculty you want are only available at the one then you should do that. NeuroKat111 1
NeuroKat111 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks! Ya I asked about the availability of the other faculty so I'm hoping I'll be able to interview with at least some of them. Good luck with your interviews!
norain Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I'm in a really similar situation - and I think for the same school! I had already committed to an interview at one school (they already booked my flights) for the exact same weekend the second school asked me to visit. I had to respond and ask for one of the other weekends, and they explained the same thing to me about faculty availability. It's unfortunate, but I didn't have a choice. Better than declining! I do have two other interviews back to back that are literally across the country. Just make sure if you decide to book back to back, that you try to get as much wiggle room as possible in case there is bad weather/delays/cancellations. I'm a little worried about that myself!

I was able to get the other interview moved, they were very accomadating with it. But now I have another interview that's back to back and across the country ? I hope both interviews go well for you though!!
pnc95 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I have four interviews back to back now...I'm so worried that I'm going to feel drained by the third one
