Seems like US REA interviews are in full swing…just wondering if any have happened here?
Yes, I received a skype interview request.
When? where do u live bro?
nope, nothing
I haven’t even heard of anyone in real life being contacted yet. I am in Bangalore and know people in the college admissions business here. They haven’t heard of anyone being contacted yet either.
Same
Any update guys? I talked to a couple more people and even they haven’t been contacted for an interview yet
Nope, nothing in delhi yet
I didn’t get an SECA interview for Harvard sadly but I’m pretty sure interviews I. Bangalore aren’t happening for HYPS so there’s nothing to worry about.
@photographynerd - what makes you think there are no HYPS interviewes happening in Bangalore this year?
Anecdotal evidence mostly, since I haven’t heard of any in the Early applicants’ pool. Plus Harvard interviewed students from Mumbai and Delhi mostly which suggests that they might’ve had a lot of alumni there while lacking those numbers in Bangalore and other such cities.
@whartonboy14 - waiting to hear your result as you had an interview. My daughter was deferred - no interview.
@CValle - my daughter got deferred too and she didn’t get an interview either. Do you know how many Indian students actually got admitted in SCEA?
@Dreamz25 - I have heard of only one - a girl in the British School New Delhi who is a legacy (has a sibling at Yale.)
Thanks! Do post if you know of anyone else. It is surprising that in spite of a large pool of SCEA applicants, the accepted # is lower than last year.
interview and rejected
@whartonboy14 - in your Yale results thread you said you “didn’t get” an interview. Which is it? Just wondering because you are the only person so far who says they got a Yale interview in India this round.
Apart from British School there’s also one at DAIS Mumbai who got into Yale SCEA
