So I just got an email inviting me to interview at McCombs. I applied in R3. The email states I must interview by Mar 1 (4 days away). I have a Skype option, but I want to visit and interview onsite (On Mar 1 Friday)
The scheduling tool shows that all interview spots onsite are taken for the next 4 days . I cannot seem to find class visits or info sessions available for the days leading up to this time as well.
Any thoughts? Am I left with no choice but the Skype interview?
Should I mail admissions? I really want to visit! I didn't know that interviews must be completed by Mar 1
It's worth a shot emailing the admissions office to explain your situation, especially if you haven't seen/visited campus yet.
However I will say that there does not appear to be any disadvantage to a Skype interview in terms of your probably for admission. Most schools truly don't care whether the interview is conducted in-person or over Skype. It's all about personal preference, so I guess if you'd be much more comfortable doing the interview in person, let them know that and see if they can find time for you on campus. Congrats on the Interview, btw.
