Interview canceled due to conflict of interest, should D email school to find out about another?

About 2 weeks ago my D17 went for her UPenn interview. It was 40 mins away at a lawyers office. After a short wait in the lobby she gets brought in and literally 2 minutes later she comes out with the interviewer who tells me he can’t interview her due to a conflict of interest. Turns out he’s from our small town, and my daughter babysits his kids! (she never met him before, only the mother). What are the odds!

Anyway, it’s been two weeks and she hasn’t heard about a rescheduled interview so I was wondering if it would be acceptable for her to write admissions asking about it? I know not everyone gets interviews in the first place, but since she was scheduled for one it seems appropriate she gets to actually have it.

Yes. Email or call.

Agree, your D can email or call admissions.

Definitely follow up, but depending on where you live, the number of interviewers may be limited. It may be the original interviewer is the only one in your area, especially given you had to drive 40 minutes for the first interview.

I think that is such an amazing story that the admissions office might even try very hard to find another interviewer (although you might have to drive a bit). I would definitely follow up.
