HARVARD - Interview - India

Has anyone from India gotten an interview this year?

Nope. Did not get an interview. Assumed that it must be non-availability as it does mention on its website as India as one of the places where a restricted number of interviews are available.

I was worried it was just me ?

I’m from India and got an interview, they said it’d help me significantly

I got deferred. Any idea how many people from India got in at the early round?

I got deferred as well, to be honest I don’t even know anyone else applying to Harvard from India. Someone told me thought that often international applicants from India are mostly deferred so colleges can compare their stats to people applying through RD.

Maybe so few people applied from India in EA that Harvard just decided to club all of them together in RD and have interviews for everyone then.

Or maybe some people got in, who knows? Generally people say though that if you get an interview it means you’re one of the top students and you have a reasonably good chance of getting in. They don’t offer interview to that many people in India.

@shasms let me know if you get an interview though, I’ll post something here if I get to know anything as well.

@KMed9102 I am an Indian student and I did not get an interview either
