Hello everyone! Before you all say I am an idiot I know it. That's why I am using a throwaway account. I had to take a gap year because of the marking boycott last summer. While in my final year of undergrad, I had applied to multiple universities, as I wasn't sure if I would end up with a 2:2 or a 2:1. Among my past round of applications I applied to a top university in my field with an MSc that is very competitive but it is exactly what I wanted to study and got rejected.
As I got 2:1, I decided to apply for the same university again, but for a similar degree - it shares 70% of modules from the one I was rejected last year. I had been checking my emails thoroughly for an interview but only saw it yesterday... On the email that I was using for online short courses at the same university, as they apparently automatically found my student number and put my academic email associated with it as my correspondence address. The interview invite was sent out 10 days ago and I sent the reply to the interviewer as soon as I saw it, profusely apologising for delay in the reply. Today I received the rejection for not attending the scheduled interview, even though it was not arranged. I emailed the interviewer again, as well as the admissions, explaining the situation, but I won't get any replies earlier that Monday.
So now I am listening to TPD and crying, thinking that I forever screwed myself over. What are the chances of them agreeing to re-arranging the interview? Once again, I already feel like crap, so I am looking for any advice on how to navigate this.
P.S. English isn't my first language and I am absolutely shattered, so apologies for any typos or grammer mistakes.
