Multiple Interviews Conflicting! Any advice?

[Kaleoiks]

I know this is a problem of abundance of riches, but i have been invited two programs that interview days coincide. I received the first invite last week from my POI and responded that I would attend. However, now I received a second invite from my POI of a different program in a different city the same weekend. Any advice on how to approach this? I have heard virtual interviews are possible in some cases but I don't want to screw up my chances for one University over the other. Both are developmental psychology programs I'd be happy to attend.

I'm sure other people have bigger problems but I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to approach this. Could I request a different weekend? I don't think I can even meet virtually at the second program the same day because all day will be taken up by the first program.

There’s another topic about this: Interview Day Overlap

Summary:

- Don’t cancel the 1st one.

- Set up a Skype interview (or in-person if you can) on a different day for the 2nd one (It doesn’t have to be during that weekend).

- Next time this happens, you can wait until the response deadline for the interview to see if you get any other offers (and go to your favorite).
