The interviews are killing me though. They have posted them on weekdays in the past haven't they? Tues/wed/thurs are the only days I can do. I'm just stalking the interview schedule like no tomorrow.
I assume you're talking about on campus interviews? There's no indication they're scheduling for days other than Mondays and Fridays, with the exception of one Saturday.

If you're applying ED, they encourage you to get your app in by November 15 (though the deadline is December 1).

From their website-
Accordingly, in order to make sure your application is complete by the December 1 deadline, it would be in your best interest to submit your application by November 15, 2015 if you are applying through LSAC.
Skype or off campus are probably your best bet, particularly if you're under the gun- just my two cents.
Any bump for making the trip to Chi for on-campus?

I dunno, but my calculation is- if you can win someone over in person who will have some decision making power in the process (a staff member), that's a real plus.

That's what I'm thinking too, but they make it so difficult. Not sure when it's time to throw in the towel and request an off-campus/skype interview.

Lol. Sorry for being a pretentious loser. Online is fine, obviously.

I think this means we definitely need to go to the same school or else I'm going to continue getting myself into trouble.

Anywho, tc, I was definitely just kidding and I'm glad you've chosen to join us.

NU is at the top of mine. I will be scheduling an on-campus. I plan to go complete around the first of November. I will report my results.

Who's excited to spend all of their meager disposable incomes and minimal non-study time on seeing a winning football team?

Grad students get 20% off. My school had free tix for a not-good team so I have no sense if that's reasonable or not.
