I received an informal interview invite at one of my dream schools last night with a proposed date (1/3). I confirmed this interview this morning but within three hours was told that there is a family event (more like emergency) that I must attend. I immediately emailed the PI and asked if it’d be possible to push the interview to 3 hours (5pm local time for her) later or to chat on 1/2 instead ( I left a 12-hour window of availability so there’s a bigger likelihood this will work for her).
1/3 is a Friday so meeting later during the weekend is not an option and I’m not sure if she is back to work yet on 1/2.
The bigger thing is I feel soooooooo bad for rescheduling after having confirmed this appointment and would hate if this is gonna sabotage my chance. It has been six hours and she has not gotten back to me yet; I know it’s because she is out of the office for the holidays but I’m still feeling so anxious.
What do folks think? Is it acceptable to reschedule after having confirmed an unofficial interview? Ugh this is torture!
