[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 241911, member: 42112"] Hey! Just to add on to what others have said, I would try not to beat yourself up too much about it! In most cases, firms are understanding, especially if there are valid work commitments. It is definitely worth emailing them as soon as possible, explain the situation clearly and politely, and ask whether any alternative arrangements are possible. Even if it is the last scheduled AC date, they may be able to move you to an earlier one if there is space or if someone else has dropped out. The key part is to be proactive, apologetic (without over-apologising!), and flexible where you can. If they genuinely can't accommodate a change, at least you'll know that you asked and handled it professionally - at the end of the day, the worst thing they can say is no! I hope you are able to sort it, and best of luck with the AC! :) [/QUOTE]
