Missed Interview

Yesterday was my interview day at a school and I double-checked the portal in the morning, not realizing that a withdrawal I thought I performed a few weeks ago didn't actually go through. I should've paid more attention to having never received confirmation of my withdrawal but I was busy with classes and work and didn't notice that my withdrawal didn't actually go through.

Needless to say I was a no-show for my interview. I sent a sincere email to the admissions office profusely apologizing for inconveniencing the admissions office and the interviewers. The office replied saying they'd forward my message to the dean and told me good luck, wishing me my best. Should I be worried about this?

I understand my behavior was very unprofessional but do adcoms talk to each other about this or report no-shows like this to AMCAS?

I do not know how to interpret this clip.

I think they technically can report interview no shows to AMCAS, but I think given what happened you have responded the best you could. I hope they decide not to do something like that given the situation.

Can @Goro or @gyngyn weigh in? Is this something adcoms commonly report?

In the future... important communications should be sent in a format in which you retain some copy or evidence of the communication. Ie, always send an e-mail to leave a paper trail.

Yes I fully understand I should've made sure that my withdrawal successfully went through when I submitted it a few weeks ago.

Chill.
Answer is no.

We have called their school (for a safety check) if they do not respond to calls, not AMCAS.

You’re fine! It was just a bit inconsiderate but things happen and you did the best to fix the problem and admitted fault.

I'm assuming you already have an acceptance somewhere else?...

Yes, this was a very important lesson to learn in residency.
