Harvard Interview

<p>It might be nothing to worry about. I was interviewed, but then I was not interviewed for freshman admission. This might be the reason.</p>

<p>I don't know...we'll see in 10 days most likely :)
Do you know what percentage of the admitted transfer international students got interview and what % don't ? (is it 100-0 or 50-50? ) Thanks</p>

<p>i'm an international and i had an interview. i know bumpitybum also had an interview and is an international.</p>

<p>well I guess if u r an international transfer schooling in the U.S it'll be pretty easy for them to set one up for u- don't know the stats tho- and no, I don't think it's too late for people to get interviewed cos my interviewer just turned in her report on me today to harvard and the adcom wasn't freaking out or nethin-</p>

<p>if harvard interviews two hundred applicants out of a thousand and about a hundred internationals apply, I will presume that they'll interview about twenty intels using the same ratio n reasoning- might not make sense but twenty or less-</p>

<p>ok, yes I go to school here at US. But honestly I don't think they will contact anyone for an interview on at this point - it's May 8th... Do you know anyone who was accepted as transfer from US without interview at all?</p>

<p>d'u mean any international transfer/u.s citizen transfer?</p>

<p>I think people said earlier in this thread that a good number of people are accepted without an interview. Those that are "on the cusp" might be granted an interview, to tip the scale one way or another.</p>

<p>right- I was going to mention that as well-</p>

<p>and it might even be bad cos I think if u have a fifty-fifty chance of getting in and u get interviewed, bombing it(like me) is going to completely ruin your admissions chances- I wish I didn't get one cos then, at least I wudn't know the reason why I was rejected- I don't think my interviewer liked me very much-</p>

<p>bummppttity you sound totally imprssive i seriously doubt you bombed your interview.</p>

<p>are there any other international applicants from canada here?</p>

<p>also, two people i know received their admissions letters on the 21st... it seems early, but they live in the U.S. and probably received their letters in the mail much earlier than international applicants.</p>

<p>The decisions were e-mailed on the 18th.</p>

<p>For Shaganov: Thanks but trust me, I did ramble a lot plus she asked some question about the lawrence summers controversy that I totally bombed- I don't even want to get into it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Gud luck everyone tho! You guys all sound incredibly smart- I hope as many ccers as possible get in!</p>

<p>Ha! That's interesting. What did they ask you about Summers? Did you have to take a side or something?</p>

<p>Yeah...I was just going to say...why would they be questioning applicants to comment on Summers? haha. I would think they would want to shove all that dust under the rug.</p>

<p>interviews are VERY important for Harvard!
my brother is in his first year to Harvard and we are pretty much convinced that his interview was a huge part of his admission.</p>

<p>lol! not really,- I think she just wanted to know how much about harvard I knew- so she was like, "what do you think about the recent controversy n harvard?" and in my head I'm like that's such a general question!
I was thinking about the ophal mehta gurl mostly though, so I was like " the controversy about lawrence summers?" and she's like uhuh- and I basically only knew about his statement against female harvard faculty members and afterwards I just blanked out- Gosh, she must have thot I was really dumb!</p>

<p>Haha, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It sounds like she was maybe just using that as a springboard for conversation -- not necessarily expecting you to know all the details of the story.</p>

<p>ha! I wish! she looked totally unimpressed! I shud have read the harvard crimson for two months straight before the interview!</p>
