Interview booking

2

I got an interview offer from Bristol for Medicine and had to delay booking my interview as I needed to confirm with my School (I board) what date I would be able to attend.
Now the only slot is one I am unable to make at all, and I know it is my fault for not booking sooner- but I don't know what to do!!!
Will they be lenient and allow me another chance to schedule for a time I definitely can attend, or will I just have to try to work around the slot that is available???

They say they may try to accommodate you, but they cannot guarantee they will be able to, and obviously I wouldn't count on it. I admittedly don't know what your commitment that day is, but I would literally reschedule lunch with the King of England if it clashed with a medical school interview. So, are you absolutely sure you cannot make the remaining date? I cannot impress onto you hard enough how much I think a medical school interview trumps the importance of basically anything else that I may have going on in life that day.

Okay, well, if it is absolutely the only, only time slot then I will 100% attend that slot. I see what you mean, if there is no wiggle room then of course I am going to prioritise the interview. I sent an enquiry on Sunday night and have not received any response yet. Similarly, I am still waiting on a reply from Imperial about their enquiry into my fee status- which I asked about on Friday. Should I push and send another email to both, I have until the 27th before they will assume I do not want to pursue the course anymore....

Well of course you haven't gotten a reply yet, it's literally only Tuesday and they don't work weekends. Give it a few more days, if they don't reply by then try giving them a call.
