So I missed the deadline to request an interview at a college I applied to. What happened was a message from the college reminding me of the deadline to request an interview was caught in the spam filter of my email and I never got it until after. I’ve disabled my spam filter so this doesn’t happen again.
The problem? That deadline was about 2 months ago. I initially just felt stupid and just hoped that I wouldn’t be hurt too much by not requesting an interview. The portal locked me out of even trying so I just gave up. Recently, my mom heard of a friend’s son who had an interview there and asked me when mine was. I told her the whole story and now she’s forcing me to send an email to them asking for an interview. I feel that it might hurt my chances for admission by sending an email to the admissions people about this 2 months late, but she says it can’t hurt and that I should anyway. I know she won’t stand over my shoulder and make me send the email so I could probably just say they wouldn’t interview me and she would take that.
Any advice CC?
