I'd suggest you make the best of it at the interview and hope for the best. You might get turned down a time or two. Not sure of your times, but working at an flying job to build up hours and experience would lessen the impact of your situation. In other words, the more flight experience and time you put between the event and the interview, the better.

Thanks for the info. I went to a 4 year college program where I can go and finish it up hour by hour. I just went to the atp program to do it in the 2 days and didn't get the type of instruction I think is appropriate at any flight school. I think I will just go back to my college and get it so its not an open pink slip. I agree I don't think I want to discuss why I didn't go back and get the ticket. I knew before the checkride that I wasn't ready and I shouldn't have taken it. But I used someone elses money for the 2 day course so I didn't want to waste it. Learn from your mistakes and move on I guess. Thanks everyone for the opinions and thoughts.
