Impact of missing interview?

So awhile ago a Cornell alumni emailed me about an interview. I stupidly missed the email because it was in my spam, so I got back to her a little late. I apologized but obviously it was still pretty bad. I asked about interviewing that weekend. She said she couldn’t because she had to take care of her child, etc. and suggested next week. I got strep the next week, and I wanted to wait until I was feeling a little better and the antibiotics kicked it. I asked about early next week and suggested Skype, but she didn’t get back to me until Tuesday 2/9 and said it was too close to the deadline. Is this an automatic rejection? I am so upset with myself for missing the email and I honestly can’t believe I got strep then and I’m thinking maybe I should’ve gone to the interview sick anyway…

It’s done now, no point stressing. At least you communicated and didn’t totally ignore it. You probably know by now that interviews don’t make or break an application. I wouldn’t do anything now, it is much too late. Unless you have some important info to relay to the rep, like you won a prize, all you will do is call attention to a missed opportunity. You will definitely get into one of the other 18 colleges you applied to (I believe you have already), so don’t sweat it:-)

Agree, it is done. Stop worrying.
