<p>I already received an email for me to schedule an interview and they want me to go to the Harvard club in NYC next week. I thought that only a select few went for this interview at the club after the first one... is this true? And I have no idea how to present myself... should I go suit and dress pants or would something like a polo shirt work? Thanks, and if anyone could share their interview experience with Harvard, that would really be helpful.</p>
<p>The pictures from the Harvard Club of NY website should give you an indication of how to dress: [Harvard</a> Club of New York - Home](<a href=“http://www.hcny.com/]Harvard”>http://www.hcny.com/)</p>
<p>okay, so it’s obviously very formal from the pictures. Thank you.</p>
<p>Thousands of applicants get interviewed at the Harvard Club of NY. Dress sharp, but if you’re uncomfortable in a suit or think you’ll appear too stiff, go in a polo and khakis.</p>
<p>My interview went really well. It was really laid back and my interviewer was surprisingly young. My advice is to just be yourself and relax a little. I don’t know about you but my interviewer asked me to complete an interview worksheet and just asked questions from the sheet.</p>
<p>Mine is going to be on the 10th, seems like it’s going to be casual. Although I am really nervous since my interviewer just graduated last year. Hope all goes well for you!</p>
<p>I’m really nervous as well, and the Harvard club seems intimidating. Its EXTREMELY formal and is in a very professional atmosphere, though I wish it were more casual. Good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>mine’s on the 6th jan…they’re scheduling them pretty early! </p>
<p>good luck everyone, we’ll all be fine. i am so thankful that applications are finally completed!</p>
<p>For interview attire, there are a few older threads floating around on this, and other subforums that should be helpful. Be professional, but also take into consideration the location. You can be a bit less formal at a Starbucks or at an interviewer’s home; it’s a bit awkward to be dressed in a suit and tie at a suburban cafe when everyone else is in jeans and a hoodie, but maybe not so over-the-top in a Manhattan Starbucks since plenty of people heading to work walk in and out anyway. </p>
<p>The Harvard Club of NY has a dress code for everyone–members and guests. If your interview is taking place there, you should dress formally simply to respect the building’s dress code.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>Damn Harvard Club is pretty high end…lol I had mine in a public library with people reading books around us and probably eying us to shut up. w/e there were no private rooms.</p>
<p>…so does anyone particular gets selected to interview at Harvard club?</p>
<p>No. It’s entirely dependent on your location. </p>
<p>Another thing to note–if you do interview at the Harvard Club of NY, there is a good chance that you’ll have two alum interviewing you at one time as opposed to the normal one-to-one interview. Don’t read into it too much–there are simply lots and lots and lots of alum in NY and a proportionate number want to be involved, so there will often be more available interviewers than applicants in the area. Since the club wants everyone to feel involved, they sometimes double up interviewers. Alas, this is a luxury only available in NYC. Many other places have trouble finding enough interviewers at times, especially locations far away from major metropolitan areas.</p>
<p>No. A shipload of NY applicants (maybe even all?) get interviewed at the Harvard Club. Interview decisions domestically are based solely on availability, not on application merit.</p>
<p>I’m not even that close to NYC, it takes me over an hour to get there and it is really inconvenient because its almost impossible to drive there with traffic and I wouldn’t be comfortable on a subway wearing a suit… but w/e i have no choice.</p>
<p>I bet I’ll be interviewed there, because I go to school in NYC.
I think it’s terrible that they sometimes have two interviewers speak to one candidate. Intimidating much?</p>
