Hey y’all. I had my second Harvard alumni interview like two weeks ago. I know a few people here got a second one as well. I am not exactly sure what it means and why they used an alumni rather than an admission officer. I asked my first alumni interviewer and he said that he had sent it in(my first interview went decent), so I don’t think it was because the first interview report was lost or anything . Could I take this as a good sign?
This is explained on the previous pages on this thread @BDGK24
When will decisions be released for RD?
Ivy Day which is March 28th!
All Ivy schools?
@Nonomom Its called Ivy Day for a Reason
@Nonomom Yes, all 8 Ivy schools have an agreement to release regular decisions on the same day. Based on your screen name it sounds like you’re a parent trying to get some info. Good luck to your son or daughter.
this is getting so stresssful lol
what’s even more stressful is our fate might already be decided but we won’t know until ivy day
@fsnake01 SO TRUE
is it bad if I did not get an interview? Am I no longer being considered?
@schoology THey say your app isnt -ve affected, but i highly doubt their words.
If what they say is true, you should be fine, and a lack of an alum/an alum to skype w/u has caused this.
Hopefully thats true…otherwise…
Wonder if anyone has come across someone who got in without an interview
@gzza73 Ppl from countries listed with no interviews at all get in. (which is about 5% of the class size, or about 8% of the app pool)
Its on their interview webpage
Ummm otherwise, yeah they do, but due to most apps getting an interview, its very uncommon. Idk the numbers for these though
welp, guess I’m not getting in. but im pretty sure no one except for 1 person at our school got their harvard interview (out of like 15)
@schoology Don’t lose hope yet! Where are you located?
Same here…
International… No interview…
I’m 100% rejected lol
small town in socal
For people leving in the UK/Canada/US, most apps should definitely expect an Interview.
The people living in app initiated interviews may expect one as well.
The ones not having any in the country are goos too.
But the ones with limited interviews; they say ur contacted only if additional info is required and if theres an alum in the area/free, but i highly doubt thats true, and speculations are that there’s prescreening in such countries.
I maybe wrong on the last line.
Hope this helps.
Everythings pretty much set in stone at this point. Except maybe a last minute decision on 100 apps or so.
This is for almost all/all schools coming by March End, not just Harvard
