Emailing Interviewer to Obtain Decision Early?

<p>Yay or Nay! Why or why not?</p>

<p>Do they get them before we do? I've never heard of this...</p>

<p>I believe so... Don't quote me on this though.</p>

<p>i'm relatively sure that interviewers find out AFTER we do. I know at yale the interviewers aren't allowed to contact the applicants until a certain date. also, it seems a bit desperate and rude, don't you think?</p>

<p>What if the consequence of sending the email were to get an offer of admission rescinded? Something to think about; don't quote me on this though.</p>

<p>My interviewer had told me that they find out after we do.</p>

<p>Hahaha the interviewers aren't ALLOWED to contact us? really? whoaaaa. why's that?</p>

<p>Doesn't seem wise at all. You're a Harvard applicant, use your noggin. :)</p>

<p>An MIT interviewer I know (I babysit his kids) said that at least for MIT, they don't find out until the same time the applicants do. My Harvard interviewer told me to let him know if I got in- implying, of course, that he wouldn't already know.</p>

<p>harvard interviewers find out who got in AFTER the emails are sent out.</p>

<p>Is it just that they aren't allowed to contact us?</p>

<p>Because I've sent a few questions/words to my Yale interviewer. I sent him the Ginger Yale too and he said he liked it :)</p>

<p>Is that allowed? I'm sure they allow you to ask them questions...</p>

<p>Pretty sure the interviewers find out post decision day. Expect to hear from them if you do get in - they'll be there to answer questions, convince you, etc.</p>

<p>Great! I'm so going to call my...</p>

<p>Wait.</p>

<p>You have to be interviewed to have an interviewer.</p>

<p>I'll take the silence as a no.</p>

<p>I hear that they find out 1 day before ( I know an interviewer)</p>

<p>be patient...its not worth looking like a neurotic idiot</p>

<p>After I had the interview for Harvard, I told my interviewer I will announce him if I got in. He smiled and told me he would find out earlier than me... I'm an international so I don't know if this applies to all the interviewers.</p>

<p>Most interviews get no notice from Harvard about who's accepted and rejected. When it comes to interviewers in the U.S., the head of the regional alum interviewers finds out who's accepted, waitlisted. I've done that job, and I think I heard on the same day that the e-mails were sent to applicants. Harvard tells interviewers not to share that info. If you were to call an interviewer, likely all you'll do is seem foolish and impulsive, and if the interviewer knows your decision, s/he won't tell you.</p>

<p>What's more important is to have the courtesy to let your interviewer know if you did or didn't get accepted. Don't be embarassed to do this if you were rejected. The interviewers know that it's likely that everyone they interview will be rejected. Thank the interviewer again for their time, and let them know where you're considering going.</p>

<p>It's likely you'll encounter the interviewer again. I've encountered several students again whom I had interviewed. This includes students whom Harvard rejected. One is now a doctoral student at Stanford after going undergrad to our state's flagship. Another ended up going to her safety, a 2nd tier public in the city where we live. Her freshman year, in separate incidents, both of her parents suddenly died. It ended up being fortunate that she was living at home, because she had more opportunity to be with them before they died. Both of her parents had had no previous history of serious medical problems. She recently was accepted for graduate school at U Va., which has the country's best program for what she plans to major in.</p>

<p>That's what I was thinking...Thanks Northstarmom.</p>

<p>Besides, if I were to ask him, I wouldn't ask him directly I would ask him when decisions come out and whether he had heard anything recently.....</p>

<p>But, it seems like it's a NAY...ok!</p>

<p>mine said he wanted me to tell him whether or not i've been accepted into harvard. but then again he was only a interviewer for Harvard Business School applications and only interviewed me cuz the admissions office really wanted that interview :D and there was no one else to do it.</p>

<p>question, if we get rejected, can we call and ask why we were rejected?</p>

<p>^You'd probably receive a generic answer because most applicants ($close to almost all) get rejected.</p>
