I applied for an entry-level accounting position. A lady soon emailed me asking me to take a math test, as I won't be considered until I do so. I submitted the math test and felt pretty good. A few days later, (Last Friday) she emailed me saying:
"I'd like to invite you over to our office for an interview. We are setting up different interviewing times, send me your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices. Thanks and see you soon."
I replied back with my top choices an hour later. My top is next monday, but it's Tuesday and she hasn't responded back with a confirmation. Should I still go to the interview of my first choice if I don't receive a confirmation?

Thank you.
You can't assume HR will have the time slot of your choice available until they get back to you.
It's only been a day, give them a chance as they organize their interviewing schedules.
First option is this coming Friday but I have a final exam that day. The next is my first choice next Monday, and the last choices are on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Right. I'll keep applying to other places in the meantime.
Update: She emailed me this morning saying those choices are no longer available...and asked if I was available on different days. What could this imply?

That there are other candidates who got to her with their choices before she opened your email.
Don't panic, just pick some other times and send them to her and keep looking. That's all you can do.
Every job will have competition you're up against, so get used to that and be as prepared as possible when you go in.

What do you mean what could it imply?
There's no hidden meeting behind her request... she wants to know what days YOU'RE available so they can schedule you to come in.... do it.
