<p>I sent my app in around 1:00am on Dec. 31st and I got an email for an interview today. No Eli info though.</p>
<p>Don't sweat about getting an interview.</p>
<p>I didn't get one but I still got in. As did two students last year from my HS.</p>
<p>If you saw my earlier post, you see that I've been assigned nine students to interview yesterday. In the format we receive, we also see the date that the app was submitted. My earliest one was Nov 13 and my latest one was Jan 2. I can imagine that the Nov and Dec ones were stockpiled as we tried to get all the SCEA ones done first. Don't sweat it please.</p>
<p>And yes, I'm going to call the two November people first -- since they've been waiting the longest.</p>
<p>I have an interview scheduled for Monday. At first I was surprised, then incredibely ecstatic. After speaking with a classmate who already went through her Harvard interview, however, I really don't know what to think. She said the interview doesn't really matter - it can't hurt you and acceptance is in no way contingent upon a good recommendation from your interviewer. Inevitably, I'm still nervous and I don't know how to approach the circumstance..?!?</p>
