Oh man the stress is really starting to kick in. I’m an italian applicant too and I wasn’t contacted for an interview, I guess we all know what that means :melting_face: :smiling_face_with_tear:

How was her interview ? Was it really formal

94

She said it was one of the hardest, but she did well. Interviewer asked a lot of questions but was also very nice. She had to think for a few seconds before answering some of those questions. Overall, it went very well and the interviewer liked her. It was a virtual interview.

95

Thanks. Is it ok to assume that if you do not get a interview from harvard that it is not a good sign or like other colleges it is based on the availability of the alumini

I had the same question before D23 received her interview request. I called Harvard and they insisted that interviews do not make or break a decision. It’s purely based on Alumni availability. They said it’s just an opportunity for prospective students to ask questions about Harvard. Getting an interview (or not getting one) doesn’t mean anything.

This is true only for international applicants. No Harvard interview= rejection 100% confirmed

I am an internation applicant (regular decision), what do you think is the latest possible date that one can hope for an interview? Seeing that I wasn’t contacted yet is making me worring a little :melting_face:

You keep saying this, but that directly contradicts the Harvard website for international applicants: “While we try to make alumni interviews as widely available as possible, we are unable to interview all applicants. The absence of an interview will not adversely affect your candidacy.”

Harvard admissions lawsuit documents explicitly say otherwise. Especially for international applicants where alumni availability is scarce or absent - which is the case if your country isn’t listed among the interview countries- having an interview is a highly recommended step for admission. Plus, it’s a good sign. They tend to shortlist candidates from these countries and interview them to confirm their decisions.
