Scheduling interviews... Helppp!

[eponine10642]

Hey guys,

So I'm applying for neuroscience programs for entry fall 2012, and to my surprise I'm already having to deal with scheduling interviews.. an awesome problem to have, but still kind of a problem.

For one school, I got a phone call offering an interview -- said I'd get an email with the details within the next few days. The second school I've heard from so far wants me to call & figure out a weekend that I can come; at the very least, I'm waiting to call them until I hear more about the interview from the first school, but I do want to schedule it soon.

My problem is, for the second school, I'm afraid of scheduling the interview on the same weekend of my top choice school (who I haven't heard from yet), since I'm worried that they might have a "set" interview weekend.

If anyone has experience about this, do most schools have multiple choices for interview dates?? I'm just afraid I'm going to have to end up rescheduling this interview (..obviously I wouldn't give the real reason for this, but I still feel it'd be tacky).

Thanks guys! I'm starting to think applying to 10 schools was overkill. /sigh

you could try emailing your top choice to see if they have a set interview date- I'm actually surprised that your second school lets you schedule it, since they usually have one weekend for everyone. I'd assume schools would have the interview date scheduled by now if they have one.

congratulations on your interviews!
