<p>An interviewer mailed me four days ago, saying that as she was working in my country and received my name as a prospective applicant, she’d like to interview me. She then asked me to reply if I would be able to interview any time in the next two weeks.</p>
<p>I mailed her the next day, saying that I’d like to interview, but she hasn’t replied yet. Should I mail her again? Wouldn’t that be weird, and way too many emails?</p>
<p>Plus, I got a nasty cold and fever, and if she asks to meet in the next 2-3 days, and i have to turn the offer down, it’d probably be the worst thing I could ever do for my Brown chances.</p>
<p>Wait a few more days, and if she hasn’t replied a week from your email, then send her another one.</p>
<p>As for being sick, there’s absolutely no harm if you need to turn down the interview, especially if you explain why. I believe interviews are available until March 1st, so you may be able to push it back if necessary. In any case, turning down an interview will not hurt your application.</p>
<p>I don’t know about internationals, but the deadline for me to submit my interview write-ups is Feb 15th, not March 1st. I agree that once it’s been a week, write her again.</p>
<p>if you are offered to be interviewed before you recover, try you VERY best to go unless your illness is contagious or you can’t talk at all.</p>
<p>I was in the same situation, in terms of being sick. My interviewer contacted me and requested to meet 5 days later, but by some cruel twist of fate I got sick in the days leading up to the interview -.- </p>
<p>I didn’t want to cancel so I just went and at the beginning I told her that I was sick and had a sore throat. She was extremely understanding, in fact she started looking around her office ( she’s a nutritionist) for something to give me and then we ended up breaking the ice with a convo about how much it sucks being sick lol. </p>
<p>Point of the story is, the interviewer is human and understands what it means to be sick so whichever option you take (postpone or not) he/she will understand.</p>
<p>I did write to her again, but still no reply.</p>
<p>If she left you any other contact method (phone etc) I would try that as something else could be preventing her from replying (computer down etc.)</p>
