Accidentally no-showed to my UVA video interview

I'm DEVASTATED.

UVA is among my top choices, if not my top. I didn't account for timezone differences. I'm in California, so consequently I didn't realize I missed the interview until three hours later when I was waiting for it to start and noticed the "EST" when it didn't and I was rechecking the time. I left a voicemail and emailed a professor and program administrator apologizing and basically begging for a second chance, but do you think they'll give me one? I don't know how feasible it even is - I know when I could sign up, they had 2 days of time slots, and I don't know if there is an interview committee or something that will even logistically be together another time. I couldn't be more upset with myself. Does anyone have an idea what their interview was like or if they'll possibly be able/willing to offer another time?

Omg I'm so sorry that happened, I would be freaking out too! I'm sure they will understand though and you're definetely not the first one to make that mistake. Thank you for posting this though, because I will make sure for mine to always check the time zones!! Good luck and let us know what they say!

It’s going to be okay. If the program doesn’t allow for a reschedule, it isn’t worth going to. It’s an easy mistake. They liked you enough to ask for an interview, so they must like you enough to reschedule one. Good luck for the real deal!

They won't interview me again. They said they sympathize, but it was the last day of interviews. If they decide to hold a second round of interviews, they'll consider me, but that sounds unlikely?  I am so, so, soooooooooooo upset.
