<p>Alright everyone, I just received an email from the admissions officer for my state that is requesting a short (15 min.) phone conversation, because "We are reaching out to
many of our strong candidates to speak with them personally and see how things
are going during senior year." </p>
<p>Anyone have any idea what this means or signifies? Is it just a second interview? Anyone else get this?</p>
<p>I did. Though the Admissions officer referred to it as an interview. I also got a phone chat through Skype. 
It was fun and relaxed. Good Luck!</p>
<p>did he or she give more of a reason as to why they were conducting this second interview?</p>
<p>He said it was just to get to know me a little better</p>
<p>well I’m hoping it’s a <em>really</em> good thing, but in that case it’s probably just a good thing, right?</p>
<p>“Strong candidates”
^
That is a good thing</p>
<p>Are you an international applicant, OP?</p>
<p>Nope, I’m from New England.</p>
<p>If Harvard thinks you’re a “strong candidate”, I’d imagine that’s a good thing. Congrats! :)</p>
<p>I was in a very similar situation, only the interviewer asked me to go down to Cambridge. It went very well; I hope that these are good signs!</p>
