Going Back to US... should I contact programs?

[yash13177]

Hi all!

I am a domestic applicant currently studying abroad. I have two in-person interviews for programs. When I applied to programs I attached a supplemental cover letter where I mentioned I would be visiting the USA between Feb - March (hinting I would be in the US for interviews). I just officially defended my Master's thesis and my boss approved me to go back to the states for a MONTH (thx boss) for interviews instead of flying back and forth.

I applied to 11 programs, only two formal rejections. My question is whether I should email the programs I haven't heard back from to let them know I'll be in the USA? But at this point it seems rather useless since most programs have already made interview decisions....

I think you can try by gently mentioning that you will be nearby the campus and would like to learn about the program in-person. Meanwhile, mention about the possible interview offer.
