<p>I forgot that I gave CommonApp my old email address. The email was sent on Feb 1st. I just responded back, but how badly did I screw up? Even if I am offered an interview, how much have my chances of admission plummeted?</p>
<p>eh, it’s not great. TBH Chicago is trying to get a super high yield and a sub 10% admit rate this year so applying early was best anyway and this puts a cramp in whatever chances you had.</p>
<p>If you still manage to get an interview, no real harm done; as long as you give the interviewer a good reason (the one you have is fine) it’ll be ok.</p>
<p>The real question is whether you can still get an interview, and that depends on the interviewer so there’s no way to tell. Your chances do drop significantly if you were offered an interview but did not respond and did not get a followup.</p>
<p>It’s not a huge deal…maybe you should have explained it in the email though</p>
