Interview: In person, by phone, or wait for a visit to town?

The letter came from Queen's via courier and confirmed what I had read on the website. Queen's has invited me out for an interview. They are willing to put me up for one night of accomodation and pay for up to $600 of the cost for travel. This is awesome! I haven't even had to pay an application fee and I get to go on for an interview for pretty much free!

I do have some reservations though. I will need to take time off work which means lost wages, but also I am incredibly busy. I don't want to get behind on deadlines to interview for a program I may or may not get into.

Therefore, I called Queen's to discuss other options. I could do a phone interview, but I don't like the impersonal feel of phone interviews. Also, there is the possibility of doing an interview when one of their staff is in town for the MBA fair or to promote Queen's. Turns out now one from Queen's will be in Calgary until the end of November. I don't think I can wait that long.

I am going to have to think this over. I really would like to do the interview in person.

    Application: Request for interview!

    So, Queen's responded to my e-mail to inform me a that a letter is on the way via courier requesting I set up an interview! Very good sign since I don't think they would bother if I didn't meet most of the criterion necessary for an applicant to their school. Now I just have to wait for the letter to see what the next step will be.

    Application: Checking up.

    Got impatient today and e-mailed Queen's. They are supposed to have a "rolling" admission so I figured I should have heard something by now.
