Does anyone know if Harvard will be conducting interviews for REA students this year? If so, when will applicants be notified?
Yes they will. And they have already started notifying applicants.
It says my country has limited interviews. So, what can I do from my side to ask them to conduct interviews ?
Nothing. It’s luck of the draw.
You would have to ask Harvard, but it is possible interviews could be conducted through Zoom or other online platforms. So the number of interviewers in any one area may not be an issue. There are still a limited number of interviewers with a limited number of time slots, but the distribution doesn’t have to depend on geography as much.
are the interviews for rea only or rd as well?
great. I didn’t get one…
Both
@skieurope , is there a way to let Harvard know that I am interested in an interview to get priority?
No. Everyone who applies is interested in Harvard.
Does Harvard give interviews to pretty much every applicant? Also, I was contacted for an interview on Nov 2nd…does that mean that they liked my application, or is the extremely quick notification normal?
I’m just curious, but what geographic location are you from?
They have not read your application yet. They schedule as many interviews as they can subject to interviewer availability.
Is it bad that I didn’t get an interview yet? I’m terrified that I am not gonna get accepted because of this.
@“leah.tad18” Chicago area!
No
Every year there is stress about interviews, getting interviews, what does it mean to get an interview early or late etc.
It is still early and the timing of your notice of interview doesn’t mean anything. If a poster indicates that invitations have started to go out, it doesn’t mean anything bad if you haven’t heard yet.
Also, if you never get an interview, that has nothing to do with your qualifications and the lack of an interview will not be held against you.
