<p>I scheduled my Columbia interview for midterm week, the night before I had two midterms, because I wasn’t exactly thinking clearly at that time. I remembered about it all through the weekend, remembered about it monday, but I guess with all the midterm stress and stuff I completely forgot about it until 9:00pm today. And it was supposed to be at 5:15. Am I completely screwed now?? What should I say when I call tomorow??</p>
<p>About all you can do is apologize profusely and ask to reschedule the interview.</p>
<p>Important Lesson: When you have a really important appointment, always tell someone close to you about it so that they can remind you. In times of stress it’s easy to forget things. You might want to invest in a PDA that will remind you of such things…or set a reminder on your cell phone’s calendar alert.</p>
