Same, ON. Thank you.
Nice to see you here. Best luck!
does anyone know if class of 2025 released a wave of likely letters yet? and is it thru email, post mail, or phone call?
Likely letters are very rare.

My kid has an interview tonight (got request last week but applied RD in October.) Remember, though, that they interview as many people as they can and an interview or lack thereof is not indicative of anything. Fall in love with those safety schools!

You have a 4% chance of getting accepted to Harvard. You have a 0.2% chance of receiving a Likely Letter as a non-athletic recruit. Don’t obsess over Likely Letters.

Do we have a ?% for the chance of an interview?
We had interview 3 weeks ago. No decision yet. Usually when we will come to know financial aid offer along with admission or after admission notification
Nor will there be until 4/6

Got interviewed by Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Cornell, Duke, Berkeley, UPenn… but no Harvard !!! No idea why?
Folks, stop worrying about the interviews. Interviews (or lack thereof) don’t matter unless you turned down the invite.

Agree. My cousin and friends interview for Cornell and Harvard and they say they have wonderful engagement and are usually so blown away by the interviewees (as indicative of the great info shared here by applicants). Each of them have told us that for every 30 amazing applicants they recommend, they’d be lucky to see 1 get accepted. Having the interview helps you, of course, but does it really mean admit every time there’s a great interview? The odds don’t show much correlation.

I would wager it’s interviewer availability.

I got my interview on like Jan 10. I really think it’s about availability.
I don’t know. There are at least 15 kids in school (and another 20 in two schools close by) whose parents are Harvard alumni. Seems to me there are enough to interview competitive candidates.
Number of alumni means nothing. Not all alums want to interview.

I applied early action and was deferred (UK applicant), I applied test optional and a lot of people I know who applied test optional were also deferred whereas those I know who applied with SAT/ACT were definitively accepted or rejected. Did anyone else see this trend or am I just reading into it too much?
I really doubt if an applicant would be admitted to Harvard without a ACT/SAT score unless it is a super exceptional case.
Hey guys, I wonder does East Asian Male consider as URMs? Thank you for your time.
No, probably anti-hook if you are Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
