Harvard 2015 Hopefuls

<p>I turned in my Common APp like a month ago and haven’t been contacted for an interview yet, and I live in a bustling metro area. SHould I do something about this?</p>

<p>Time to take it into your own hands…</p>

<p>^lol I’m serious bro.</p>

<p>I haven’t been contacted for an interview yet either. But I’m international, so that’s probably why.</p>

<p>Hey, if u turn in application after December 1st (sometime later but without interview because no one has contacted me yet) but before January 1st, will my application be reviewed early?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No. Moreover, for those who are never contacted (which is uncommon for domestic applicants), the absence of an interview will not be a detriment.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The application is first reviewed by one’s regional admissions officer. However, the order in which applications are read has no influence on the ultimate admissions decision. When applications are permitted on to further steps in the evaluation process (and perhaps to the final committee for voting), the sequence of review will be completely irrespective of the order in which they were submitted.</p>

<p>^Thanks for the helpful post above
“No. Moreover, for those who are never contacted (which is uncommon for domestic applicants), the absence of an interview will not be a detriment.”
I know ppl say this many times, but oftentimes, the admission gets so competitive that ppl have to exploit every opportunities possible to present their candidacy int their best light. If I don’t get interviewed, I just see it as another opportunity lost to present my candidacy (due to the confinement of the application, of course)</p>

<p>Contacted for my interview :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s nice that you are enthused by the prospect of having one, but if you’re not contacted, understand that you will not be at a disadvantage in that respect. I was fortunately admitted to two USNWR top 8 universities without interviews. Moreover, I do not believe I was given the opportunity to utter more than 100 words during my Yale interview (interviewer transformed it into a propaganda session).</p>

<p>Ahh, so basically you’d already been accepted, and she was trying to convince you to choose Yale. Well, I guess it only took a couple sentences for her to realize you were a genius (since you can talk so … well… I ain’t so articulate).</p>

<p>Question: Is 2160 (1510) good enough for Harvard? Will this score keep me out? Thoughts plz–</p>

<p>^I’m sure ur not ■■■■■■■■ right?</p>

<p>Why am I ■■■■■■■■? I’m just wondering if I should retake it…</p>

<p>"Will this score keep me out? "
The answer is no. You can take it again if u really want a better score, but for me , thats ok, at least for Harvard, because theres so much other things to be taken into account of. The test score will not keep u out, since it only demonstrates if ur “academically qualified” for it or not, which seems like ur</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, it was January 17. I’d speculate that she simply felt an obligation to promote the Yale name rather than engage in a more traditional discourse. Of the three college interviews that I had, each interviewer had an entirely disparate style of communication or notion over how the session should be utilized:</p>

<p>Yale: One-sided blustering of Yale’s superiority
Harvard: Evenly split, academically-oriented exchange
Princeton: Amiable, informal conversation</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>A 2160 is a strong performance (don’t let people on this website influence you otherwise), but it’s difficult to apprehend it’s brawn without the relevant context provided from additional credentials. A 2160 roughly stands at the fortieth percentile of students attending. </p>

<p>Retake if you desire improvement and feel confident of potentially doing so.</p>

<p>

I’m curious as to where you got this from.</p>

<p>Thanks boom and mifune! I’ve read that chance for admission becomes way higher as SAT scores goes up…How true is that statement?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Entirely true (though I suppose that depends on your definition of “way higher”).</p>

<p>what percentile would a 2230 place me?</p>

<p>lol “way higher” as in going up at a rate that is higher than that of SAT scores…If that makes sense.</p>
