I still haven’t received an interview request. By when should I receive one? Am I supposed to request it?
Hey guys,
This is super late, but i am so paranoid about it. Common app says i submitted my app on Jnauary 2nd, and so does the harvard portal. Do you think they even read it? Is it more likely it got tossed?
When did you hit send? Did you get a confirmation email by or on the real deadline??
I got a confimation email on the 2nd and a downloaded email on thr 2nd that was it?
Just wondering if you wrote a thank you note or email?
Or is that too much sucking up?
@MovinOn2020 I think it’s just polite to send a thank you email, so I did it after my interview. It doesn’t hurt to type some words.
I applied EA to Harvard. I was deferred. Do I still have a decent chance? Applying elsewhere, of course, but LOVE Harvard.
@snicks1234 same. We have 3% chances, so no big hopes for me (international)
@studyingtosave so did you submit your CA on the 2nd? Usually the confirmations from COMMON APP are immediate. Or did you get your confirmation emails from Harvard on the 2nd?
@studyingtosave if you live in a time zone other than East Coast time and you submitted by 11:59 pm in your time zone, you’re fine. Common App records everything in Eastern time, but your application was submitted on time.
Anyone know when results will come? And what format?
@johnnyaz17 March 31 or April 1 via email.
@johnnyaz17 March 30th on the portal.
Has anyone gotten a likely letter yet? My GC said I might receive one since I’m a legacy applicant…
@ap012199 they’re typically not sent out until late February/early March. But I wouldn’t be expecting one… those are for the top admits to Harvard (which means they’re basically not human) - not just people with legacy status.
@bluekou23 haha yeah I know. I definitely don’t expect one. I was just wondering when they’re sent out.
Are requests for interviews only sent via email or has anyone been contacted by phone? Haven’t been offered an interview yet and am starting to worry that I missed a call, since I thought I’d be getting an email.
@Theoddorre never give up hope man. We still have a shot and that’s all we can ask. It is exciting either way and You and me pal we are in the same boat. So keep rowing.
@ap012199 Why wouldn’t you expect one? This is no time to temper your expectations. This is a time to hope and enjoy the exhilerating feeling of possibilities. Then if you don’t get it, you don’t. You move on and make the school that is lucky to have picked you happy that they did. Enthusiasm man. I remember when I had an epic fail on my last word in the finals of the 2014 National Spelling bee. It gained meme status on the internet for crying out loud. Yeah, I was bummed. For about ten minutes, but then I realized how hard I worked to be in a position to even be in the finals. I failed , but I failed at a high level. Ya have to BE at that high level to do that. Same here pal. You and I worked hard to get here. Harvard is a high level and we are qualified. Keep your head up and let the chips fall. Hope we both get in.
It depends on the interviewer. However, if they call and get VM, they will generally leave a message and not just hang up, Regardless, the will try again. Double check your spam folder just to be sure.
