\Did my family just screw my chances? (Corrected Post!)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>I'm at school today and my mom gets a call from a Harvard alum for the interview. Not knowing any English, Mom hands it conveniently hands the phone over to a family friend who has some proficiency in the language. She then says (without asking ANYONE!): "Oh, (my name here) doesn't need an interview thank you! She got into Stanford, so she's going there," as she heard my mom claim that since I got into Stanford already, she will not let me go to Harvard if I got in there as well (Which, btw, will so not be true if I have anything to say about it!)
When she hangs up and explains the call to my Mom, they realize the mistake they just made and called him back to ask for an interview again. </p>

<pre><code> But OH CRAP. ><". They just snubbed HARVARD! Is there ANYTHING I can do to mend their mistake? And how will this effect my admission chances?! Am I just paranoid here?

<p>Just call Harvard admissions office and explain what happened so you still can get an interview.</p>

<p>Harvard doesn't care that you got into Stanford EA. With the highest yield in the country, Harvard doesn't worry about demonstrated interest, competing schools, etc.</p>

<p>Harvard also believes in connecting directly with students-- not their parents, family friends, etc., so what happened won't hurt you. If you have a cell phone, ask Harvard to have the alum contact you via that or e-mail.</p>
