First off, I don’t even know why exactly I applied to Harvard. I am not going to be a politician or a lawyer, or major in any liberal arts field. So the exact reason is quite elusive to me. Maybe it was the business school, but that’s for graduates. Maybe it was the connections I hoped to forge. Maybe it was the huge cash cache that I wanted for research. But whatever it was, I paid the application fee and now I feel obligated to respond to the interview. After all, my interviewer emailed me and called me to schedule an interview, and after several back-and-forth emails we decided that Thursday was the best day.

But I missed it and an hour before the interview I called her to reschedule–to Monday.

Unfortunately Monday I have badminton practice too. A mandatory one. I like playing badminton, and I don’t like having to drive an hour at 75mph just for one interview with the school I least want to end up at. If I reschedule, my interviewer will be pissed, and I won’t be able to go to Harvard

Big deal.
