I missed my college interview today!

I dont know where to post this but..
2 weeks ago I got the letter ssaying my interview was on the 11th of June but I could of sworn it was Thursday the 18th. Tonight I looked at the letter and saw that it said the 11th June. It's for carrying on my A Levels at College instead of 6th form. I've still got the open day to go to I WILL NOT MISS THAT!

What do I do about it? Shoukd I phone them up tomorrow and explain that I missed it and I'm really sorry and can we rearrange it? Or will they be like 'Were not gonna offer you a place because you didnt turn up to the interview.' I really want to transfer to college more than anything cause Im miserable in 6th form. I hope I've not ruined my chance now :frown:

Any advice please!

It's difficult to say really. They might be lenient but I've heard a lot of places are quite strict and don't give you an offer. Good luck though.

Say there was a 'family emergency' and you forgot all about it, you're really sorry and could you please re-schedule?

Think of a convincing lie. Perhaps ring them up in a few days inquiring about whether you are going to have an interview for the college. When they tell you that they have already sent a letter out and you missed it you then claim that you never recieved any letter of the sort. Ok scrap that, but think of a better one.

I think the family emergency one sounds best. I applied late as it was, because I kept putting it off. So that might have been one of the last interviews. Cant believe I read it as the 17th.. and I was gonna go tomorrow to get the passport size photo done and stuff. They might just think I was lazy or something though! Or I could say I had an exam.. but they ask you to tell them in advance if you cant make it!

Depends on the college really, my college doesn't give a toss about the interviews.

As I said, I think it depends on them. Even if you gave them a reason they might be harsh.

As long as I can get another interview.. I can impress them the next interview. Even if I had of remembered today I wasn't prepared for it at all! This is gonna be bugging me till I get hold of them. If worse comes to worse Ill have to stay in 6th form for another year cant think of anything more depressing though!

I phoned them in the morning and got an interview at 1.30 on Friday.. I just told them I had an interview on Thursday and couldnt make it but didnt get a chance to phone them and they were fine about it! I thought they would of been a bit more strict than that, so I was quite lucky :smile:

I missed 2 college interviews. 1st being complications between me and my family, on how I should do Media instead of Music, but I've already applied for a level 3 in music, but I ended up missing that interview.The 2nd one was because I had decided to do media, but I didn't have a portfolio to present them with. I could have used my book, but that would have given me a bad impression that I was unprepared.The college is Big Creative Education. Do you think they'll give me a chance?

Oh, and both interviews were for the same college, in case you haven't noticed.
