Back-to-back interviews

[yummybrain]

Does anyone have experience with interviews where the last day of one program coincides with the start day of another ?

Are they doable or will you be exhausted (especially if they're on opposite coasts)?

I'm interested in this question as well, and would like to add something. Since schools reimburse for travel, do you request home to school A, from school A, and then school A to school B, then home from B, or the other way around? Basically who pays for going from one school to the other? The school you are coming from, or the school you are going to?

Our interview weekend included one FULL DAY of interviews back to back with ALL the professors in our subfield. I had 4 interviews in the morning, then broke for lunch and had another 4 in the afternoon. They were about a half hour each. When we arrived we were given a packet with our interview schedule and a quick tour of the 2 floors where the profs offices were so we could figure where to go. 

 

So... while this isn't quite the same "back to back" you were thinking of... If we could do this, then having to fly cross country and getting a break in between should be OK. 

 

Good Luck!
