I’m an applicant of Harvard undergraduate of 2023
I do not receive the opportunity for an interview.
I’m living in Houston, which is a big city. So I don’t think it is because there’s no interviewer in my region.
Does that mean that it is impossible for me to get in?
Looking through your post history I found: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/2099275-is-it-possible-for-me-to-be-accepted-by-the-m-t-program-of-upenn.html#latest
Your high school transcript is THE MOST IMPORTANT part of your application. If you did poorly in English and History, Admissions is going to question, if admitted, could you handle the reading and writing workload on their campus – even though it seems like you could handle the math and science workload.
Unfortunately, Harvard receives thousands of applications from students who have the complete package (A’s and A-'s in History, Math, English, Foreign Language and Science), so that puts your application with weaker scores in English and History at a disadvantage.
As such – based upon your previous post (noted above), coupled with the fact that you did not receive an interview, yet are from a large metropolitan area – I would think your chances of being rejected are pretty high (sorry).
Thank you so much for your answer. @gibby
Although I’ve already prepared myself for this result, I’m still really sad. I think I’ll try again to transfer.
May I ask some more questions?
Is that possible that I ask the office for an interview?
Is late March too late for adding additional materials? I checked the website and the web says that they always want applicants to add latest awards, but now they’ve already made almost all the decisions.
No. As has been stated several times, the admissions office does not set up the interviews.
It won’t hurt. But given that it’s March 19th and decisions are coming out in less than 2 weeks, it may not be considered. If the decision has already been made, any update is unlikely to move an application out of a reject pile.
Here’s another answer:

Thank you so much!
Why do you want to go to Harvard so much? You mentioned transferring. Try to be happy wherever you get in and don’t enter a school thinking about transferring to Harvard, which is even more unlikely than getting in in the first place. Good luck with wherever you land 
@compmom Thank you so much! I just feel a little pity. I had some special experience with this university, so I really like it. I also have some other choices. Thank you for your advice! Now I’m pretty relaxed and preparing myself for the final result.
Just contribute a data, my son didn’t get the interview and was rejected. He was admitted into Princeton and Cornell. None of students in our school (located in central NJ) got interview nor got in. So I believe Harvard AO decided in very early to not pick up any kids from our school this year.
Some background: Top colleges like Harvard/Yale/MIT, etc admitted one student from our school in every couple of years. Last student Yale admitted was in 7 years ago, MIT 3 years ago. Harvard admitted one student last year, but he chose to attend Stanford. Princeton usually admits couple students every years, and Cornell 5-10 kids every years. Brown/Dartmouth/Columbia are very similar as Harvard. UPenn is more random.
