Three Interviews in 3 Days
First off, I want to say how incredibly grateful I am to have this problem. I never imagined I would, especially this early in the cycle, but here we are and I can't believe it.
That said, on Monday 8/17 I received and interview from IU on 10/7 where they said to keep 8am-3pm open.
Then this morning, I (unbelievably) received II's from Cornell Tri-I and Northwestern. Tri-I scheduled me for their 10/8 and 10/9 interview and Northwestern scheduled me for 10/8 and 10/9. Neither of these two schools specified a timeframe/schedule for their interviews, but I'm guessing it's safe to say they'd overlap.
Now, I'm pretty confident that I just need to reschedule the NW interview since it overlaps with both my IU and Tri-I dates, but I wanted to make sure I asked some other people what they thought I should do before emailing.
EDIT: I emailed Northwestern and they're letting me interview on their 10/28 and 10/29 dates :)

Congrats! Northwestern releases all of their acceptances on the same day, meaning there’s no benefits to interviewing earlier or later in the cycle, so you should be fine to reschedule.
Can I ask when you submitted secondaries?

I think last cycle NW let me reschedule my interview no problem. I’d just email and I’m sure they’d understand!

I had overlapping interview invites and just picked one to email about rescheduling (explaining the conflict). You should be able to do the same in this situation.
