<p>To anyone who applied RD to Harvard in the last one week( I mean during the holidays )</p>

<p>Did you get an interview request ? Do these requests come via email or phone call? If you already had an interview, could you share your experiences?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s amazing what you can find just by using google: [Sooo</a>… Tell Me About Yourself: Current Interview Questions: Harvard University](<a href=“http://www.soootellmeaboutyourself.com/2009/12/current-interview-questions-harvard.html]Sooo”>http://www.soootellmeaboutyourself.com/2009/12/current-interview-questions-harvard.html)</p>

<p>keep in mind that Harvard doesn’t provide much guidance to interviewers on specific questions, so it’s really up to the individual interviewer which questions to ask, and you won’t find a lot of similarities among interviews. Harvard asks the interviewers to weigh in on your academics, your extracurriculars, and your personal qualities, so you can expect the discussion to include these areas; no one’s going to be able to tell you anything more specific than that.</p>

<p>I just had my interview today. It went well! Be prepared to give very specific examples, relax, and be genuine and honest.</p>

<p>Have lots of people been contacted for interviews RD yet? I submitted my application on the 25th and still haven’t been contacted =(</p>

<p>Not every student is interviewed; it depends on how many alumni are in your area and how many kids from your area applied. Keep checking your email over the next 6 to 8 weeks, including your spam folder. Yes, your interview could happen at the end of February, the beginning of March, or not at all – there’s really no way to tell.
