Hi All, just a quick question.
I had set up a student host for the night before my interview, and canceled 2 days before because I a friend who lived in area offered me a place to stay at the last minute. In our previous conversations, she had been very short with me, and was not warm or welcoming at all, in stark contrast to my friend who was elated that I might spend the night (I'm flying in from Wisconsin to Dartmouth). I know it was a little rude to cancel with such short notice, but I feel like she over-reacted. Email conversation is as follows:
Hi ***! Sorry for the short notice again, but won't be staying the night tomorrow, something else came up. I'm very grateful that you're offering to host us interviewees, though! It's much appreciated!
Best Wishes,
******
******,
It sounds like you're incapable of planning ahead. I just want to let you know that this kind of behavior is quite disrespectful and reflects poorly on you.

I'm worried that she might go talk to the admissions office or something before my interview or that I might see her at the interview and be rude to me. I replied to her again apologizing and again thanking her for offering her home, but I'm still worried that this will affect my interview.
What should I do?
