<p>As the title indicates, I could be facing two interviews on the same day. One would be in the morning while the other would be in the afternoon, with a 7 hour gap between them. I don't particularly want to reschedule because I would be out of town from 20th to 29th of Jan and I already have 2 lined up in early February too. </p>
<p>I was just wondering whether it is advisable to have two on the same day and might it affect my performance?</p>
<p>If it’s in the same town, I wouldn’t worry about it. If you have to drive 7 hours to get from one to the other, then I would move one of them. Interviews are generally informational and helpful; just be who you are and find out what you can about each college to help you be informed in case you get into both of them. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Thanks. yeah they are both in the same town. I was just worried that I wouldn’t be sufficiently prepared or worse, mix aspects of the colleges up.</p>
<p>Interviews aren’t a big deal, just an opportunity to share more about yourself and for the interviewer to sell you on the school. I had a couple days with double interviews and all went well.</p>
<p>I did two in one day, and they were my longest interviews. Once you get used to interviewing it ends up being fun meeting the alumni and learning about their experience just as much as telling them about yourself.</p>
<p>OK thanks 
I confirmed both of them (although on is quite unresponsive :S)</p>
<p>A follow up question: </p>
<p>If my interviewer is a Managing Director at a big multi-national bank, and I am interviewing at his office, would I be expected to dress formally (ie suit and tie)? Or would something more casual but still nice, like a shirt/polo underneath a sweater, and normal pants do just fine? Should i bother asking him in an e-mail about a suggested dress-code (well technically his assistant)?</p>
<p>^To be safe, you may want to wear dress pants and a tie–maybe a sweater over the top instead of a jacket. You can always take off the tie if you feel too dressy walking into the building, but it really is better to be overdressed than underdressed. Besides, your interviewer is likely to be wearing a suit and tie given his job, so you won’t feel terribly out of place looking nice as well.</p>
<p>Right, I think I’ll err on the formal side then. </p>
<p>However this is for the one in the morning, and I don’t really want to go home and change, but would it look too formal/over-dressed for the afternoon one, which isn’t in an office?</p>
<p>No need to dress like a banker; you’re not applying for a job at the bank. Khakis and and a nice shirt is fine.</p>
<p>Hmm, only problem is that I don’t own a pair of Khakis :p. I guess I’ll just go for a shirt and slacks, with sweater over the top, and no tie (feels too formal to me).</p>
<p>Dude RELAX.
When I went to my Harvard interview, there were a room full of kids there in suits and ties nearly shaking to death from nerves. I walked in there with my khakis and North Face, ate some cookies, and said to the interviewer… .jeez I guess I missed the memo or something…</p>
<p>The interviewer called my school counselor the next day, telling her how utterly impressed he was by me and he even sent me a reinbursement check for the hotel.
The best thing you can do in these interviews is to just be yourself and relax.</p>
<p>Hahaha ok easier said than done (and if only my dad thought that way, asian parents…), but I appreciate it.</p>
