<p>Any tips? I have mine tomorrow…</p>
<p>Be yourself and stay calm. It really isn't that bad. My interviewer was great!</p>
<p>When I went in for my interview, I was expecting the interviewer to ask me a lot about my opinions on world events, or how my academic record reflected who I am as a person. Actually, neither areas were touched upon. I found myself talking a lot about my background and where I'm from (because it's quite unique) more than anything. Be prepared to speak about something you're passionate about (including community activities), as well as explain why Harvard attracted you and why you picked Harvard over other schools (and I'm sure they want you to come up with a better reason than "It's an Ivy League" or "Smart people go there and I'm smart," etc.) </p>
<p>In the end I think it often really depends on your interviewer. I don't know if Harvard requires the interviewers to ask any specific questions or asks them not to ask any certain ones. Actually, I think I read somewhere on CC that Harvard (or maybe it was another school) asks its interviewers not to ask the applicant what other schools they have or are planning to apply to. This surprised me because my interviewer did ask me that very question. I don't know if other interviewers come prepared with a list of specific questions they want to ask, but mine seemed to be doing it all impromptu. The first question I was asked was just "Tell me about yourself," and we just went from there. It was very casual, very laid back. I think it'd be a good thing to come prepared with some questions for the interviewer too, it makes you look inquisitive and really serious about going to Harvard. Be yourself, but be sure that you show you are confident of who you are. ^^</p>
<p>And good luck!</p>
