Hi all,
I will be interviewing at a school in three days. When they sent me the interview invite four weeks ago I requested a student host, to which the administrator said they would attempt to find one, but also stated there is no guarantee. So three weeks went by and I heard nothing more, figuring they were busy and hadn't been successful in matching me with someone - as such, I made accommodations. (Every other school has gotten back to me almost immediately, so I incorrectly assumed I would not be given a host.) However, I got an email this morning saying they had a host for me for two days from now. Being so close to the interview, I have already made arrangements, and although canceling them is a possibility, it would throw several wrenches into the works. Is it rude or inappropriate for me to reach out to my host and explain the scenario, stating I would no longer require assistance? I don't want to come of as flaky or rude to the school, and am also hesitant to lose out on possible insight I'd be able to gain from my host. I would like to see what you think the best route to take would be.
Thanks!
