Harvard Class of 2021 RD Thread

Thank you. Congratulations!

Has anyone done an alumni interview recently? I just got an email from them today, which seems really late compared to the rest of the schools where I interviewed.

@18collegebound I just had my Princeton interview yesterday, so I believe the ivies are still considering interviews. I’m not sure about the impact that the interview will have on your decision though, especially if they already made their decision about your application. I mean the interview didn’t really have that great of an impact on decisions in the first place, so it probably has even less of an impact at this point.

I think a lot of schools are still giving interviews not for evaluative purposes but just to stay true to their promise of interviewing all applicants. Just my opinion/guess. I had a Brown interview after the deadline, and I’m pretty sure it was more for the purpose of getting me Face-to-face contact with someone who can convince applicants to go to Brown and make them feel special lol.

Any international got interview

@USUG21 Applying from India, still didn’t get any interview! Where are you applying from?

I can confirm! International student here, haven’t received an interview request. But, that might be because of where I live…Does anyone know if Harvard does skype interviews?

From China. No interview = rejection QWQ

What is QWQ

I meant why qwq? Wht is so amusing about it

From UK here, I had an interview!

@greenstudent when u had interview… was it in person or skype

@USUG21 It’s not an amused face — it’s a face that is crying.

@VenomBuds ha ha… really B-)

@USUG21 Yep lol, the things going out of the Q’s are tears. the W is the sad wobbly face.

Very nicely explained @VenomBuds … bravo tht at this stage also humorous stick is thr…

A week prior to announcements?
