missing an interview

Hi,
Okay I’m going to be honest I’m pretty sure I messed up. I wanted to take?Chinese and you have to go to an interview, but a last minute home
emergency thing happened, I had to skip out on the rest of the day,?including the interview and couldn’t get anywhere near an internet?connection or a keyboard until a good 6 hours later. I emailed the?coordinator and said I was sorry and it was all my fault, but I still want?to be able to take Chinese even if it means next next year, how fucked am I?in terms of, “the coordinator thinks you’re a douche”. I don’t know how to?navigate this situation, I don’t know if this will affect me badly, or if?it will seriously hurt my chance of getting into the class. I’m dumb I?know, but HOW dumb and HOW much trouble am I in. I really needed this class?for my EAS major and now I’m panicked and dejected and I’m afraid I should?never go near the department again and learn Chinese from the internet.
– please i need some advice/help

???????????????

hey there,

ok, firstly – calm down. e-mailing the coordinator was the best possible thing you could do. i don’t know how the coordinator will handle the situation, and i don’t know enough about the program to even begin to speculate, so i’m not going to. the one solid piece of information i could find about these interviews is this:

“Those who are enrolled for a course or waitlist on ROSI who fail to follow the instructions and attend the interview/placement test for their course (if applicable) will be automatically removed by the department. Alternative interview or test times are not available.”

however, don’t take that as gospel. if the coordinator e-mails you back, you may be able to work something out. if not, hey, there’s always the next enrolment period.

i hope it works out,

aska
