Help: Urgent interview advice

Had given up the hope of landing even a foot in the door after 13 months of structured and consistent effort. Just invited for a mid tier BB interview with 2 MDs , 2 days from now.

At this point (having given up hope 2 months ago w.r.t. study effort), I have forgotten all of Rosenbaum & am not prepared for technicals at all.

Should I skip the interview, will a bad one spoil my reputation to get dinged automatically next cycle.

Understand that this is a pessimistic perspective but the anxiety is crippling, appreciate any advice.

You inquire if the questions will be hard, but don’t state the level of the position or if prior experience is required. 

Don’t skip the interview.
