Harvard RD Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

how much does the interview actually count? I had mine yesterday and my interviewer told me that I’d be “perfect for harvard’s class” but, 1) she’s not an adcom and 2) i got rejected from cornell ED so i’m not that confident

is it weird that i haven’t gotten an interview yet but most of my friends have??? i live in a really alumni-populated area…

My interviewer emailed me late last night wanting to know if I could meet on Sunday. I did not expect this to happen quite so soon.

Interview in under an hour. Terrified.

Good luck, @TheWaffleMan149

Thanks D:

@TheWaffleMan149 Good luck! Let us know how it went! :slight_smile:

@Honeyraven It happens, my Yale interviewer emailed me 17 hours before our interview and came to my school to meet me. I guess ivy alums are just really keen!

Thanks guys! Was about an hour. I think it went alright. At least I didn’t portray myself in a negative way, which was the goal

Did anyone not get contacted for an interview yet?

@glasshours I just had mine 20 mins ago

@glasshours I haven’t. But I’m an international student and I submitted my application on the last possible day. I hope we will get contacted soon! :slight_smile:

@glasshours I haven’t been contacted yet.

I haven’t been contacted for any of my schools. I’m starting to become concerned. :-/ At the same time, it’s only been a little over a week.

@kuriosmind @XoXdreamerXoX - Somewhat of a relief that others haven’t been contacted either; hopefully we’ll all get emails soon!

@glasshours I applied back in mid november and i have not been contacted for my interview… all the other applicants at my school have been…so a little worried…but i was contacted for my yale interview like 2 days after submitting and nobody else at school was? it could be very random…

@teenagecrime - My friend applied to Harvard around October and got contacted in late November, so I wouldn’t stress out about it. I applied to Yale REA! They seem to have their stuff together compared to Harvard :stuck_out_tongue: I got contacted by a Yale alum within a week of submitting my app.

@XoXdreamerXoX Right now, I’ve only been contacted by Columbia. Which schools did you apply to? @glasshours I do hope we get contacted by email and not by phone! I sound like I’m 12 :stuck_out_tongue:

@teenagecrime @glasshours I had the opposite experience with Yale! The chair of my region contacted me the day before interview reports were due. I was deferred though, so I guess when you get contacted really doesn’t matter.

@glasshours did you friend get accepted?

@kuriosmind The schools I applied to that interview are Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Harvard.
