When are interview reports due?
@zoomloom end of february I’m pretty sure
unfortunately I was deferred from Harvard for EA but I wish luck to all of you!! hopefully I’ll get into Vandy ED2 so I don’t have to wait to receive the rejection from H haha
Hey guys, my project was recently accepted at a national government funded competition. It’s like I was accepted to receive a grant for the whole patenting process and getting the product from a prototype to a commerical product. Do you guys think that I should update H (and other colleges) about it?
@anotherdude Yeah for sure, send them an email
And I haven’t heard about an interview yet… is that a problem?
I kinda just applied out of the blue like right before the deadline (why not?) so idk if the interviews are like first come first serve
urgh I really messed up. I got the Harvard interview email weeks ago but decided not to reply until last Saturday because I wanted a friend who was on vacation to confirm if she also went to the alum’s house. My interviewer still hasn’t responded and she told me in the first email that we needed to do the interview by the 30th. I feel like my chances of acceptance are ruined now. 
I haven’t been contacted for an interview 
@Chrysanthemum14 You definitely don’t need to have the interview by the 30th! I have my Stanford interview schedules for the 10th of February because the time didn’t work out for either of us. I’m pretty sure ivies (and Stanford) are conducting interviews until the end of February.
However, I don’t understand, why was it important for your friend to confirm if she also went to the alum’s house? The alum might already have a bias since you purposely didn’t reply for weeks. Not having an interview is not going to hurt your application, so stop worrying about it now and call the admissions office on Monday to ask for another alum interviewer.
@psywar That is possible, but the % of international students should stay around the same each year, so don’t worry about it (or in my case, I should since I’m Canadian)
I only got contacted for an interview today, so don’t worry if you haven’t been contacted yet
I had my interview last weekend, and my interviewer was a total jerk. He called my hometown lazy and stupid and spent half the interview either talking about his achievements or discussing an “amazing” kid from my school last year. And throughout the interview, he would try to throw curve-balls to see if I was lying about any of my ECs. If his goal was to make me hate Harvard by the end of the hour, then mission accomplished.
Hopefully none of you guys get an interviewer this bad! Good luck on your interviews everyone!
I had my interview last weekend too, and it was definitely the best one I’ve ever had. My interviewer seemed more nervous and awkward than I was, but we had a lot of interesting discussions on law, politics, and Russian literature. We didn’t talk as much about Harvard though
Hoping for the best, expecting the worst after being deferred SCEA haha
I had an awesome interview tonight. It was my last interview, so now all I have left to do is wait!
Hi! I applied Harvard and submitted my app around mid-December. A friend from my school also applied Harvard, and he already had his interview. But I have not yet been contacted for an interview. Does that mean I will not get an interview?
I had my interview last night, and my interviewer said that reports are due this Saturday. I would assume that interviews will not take place after that, but I can’t say for sure.
I wouldn’t worry. A lot of people who are not interviewed get into Harvard.
Please remember that there are a LOT of students applying; there simply isn’t enough volunteer interviewers to go around. Having/not having an interview does not equate your chances of an acceptance.
My interviewer said that his reports weren’t due until the end of February. I wonder if deadlines are a regional thing? So, there’s probably still time to be contacted!
Hey did any (or all) of you get the FA email yesterday?
@Fireball99 do you mean the one about IDOC? If yes, then I believe everyone who has submitted the CSS Profile must have received it.
