So... this sucks. UVA and Hopkins are 2 of my top 4 programs so far in life. I had the UVA interview scheduled for today, and Hopkins for next week. I called Monday to confirm and UVA said they had no record of me ever replying to their invited. I forwarded them the copy that was sitting in my outbox, they were very nice about it and said sorry but we're full that day, can you come the 19th? That's my day at Hopkins. Neither program has any other available days. UVA said they *might* get a cancellation but really don't have many interview days in January.
I talked to my mentor who knows my application and she suggested I tactfully try to contact the program director, as she thinks they would probably be pretty interested in helping me get an interview. It's going to have to be delicate though because it'll probably get screened through the person who oopsed with my reply. Any similar experiences or suggestions beyond "vodka and tonic"?
