@indianhopeful24 which town in india are you from?
I am from hyderabad and havent heard of any interview.
Any idea of how many internationals apply SCEA / how many are admitted?
@salamandereyes Hopefully you’re right! I had an alumni interview in mid-November but not an adcom interview. Let’s hope for the best! Good luck!! 
@Dataminer Nope, Japan! Praying the salamander brings us all good luck lol
@balamreddy Not too comfortable sharing the name on a public platform but I’m not from Hyderabad don’t worry. I think there’s another applicant on CC as well from Hyderabad who hasn’t received an interview so I’m guessing there weren’t any local interviewers available!
Any internationals new to the thread who have received alumni interviews?
Actually, I really want to know if early alumni interview (early November) is a good sign which means higher chance of getting in Harvard? Harvard does not request me to upload mid-year report and does not arrange an adcom interview for me, should I be alerted that ?
@cutebaby From past threads, there have been deferred int’l applicants who received interviews, so it’s no point dwelling on it - but it can only help your application if you had a very positive one! Also, mid-year reports aren’t required for EA, especially for int’l students.
@salamandereyes @cutebaby @indianhopeful24 Hey guys! Have any of you gotten a follow-up adcom interview? I haven’t.
Hey @worldwide1 I didn’t get a follow up ad com interview
@indianhopeful24 I haven’t heard of anyone who has… perhaps they changed their policy this year? Who knows, haha. Let’s hope for the best!
Let’s hope for the best and be ready for anything
@worldwide1 Yeah, I think my alumni interview went very well so I’m very okay with not having had an adcom interview
@worldwide1 I don’t have an adcom interview so I am quite worrying about it. Yet my alumni interview went so well, I shared my hardships I encountered at school and family to her and she was moved so Let’s pray and wait until 13/12
@salamandereyes will I be rejected even though I was given interview opportunity in the early November?
@cutebaby Probably not rejected, but interviews don’t indicate acceptance. Getting an adcom interview towards the end (mostly in the case that there aren’t any alumni in the area) tends to be a more positive sign.
There are alumni in China and Japan so I don’t think we need adcom interview. I would like to ask that how many applicants were given interview opportunities in your country? @worldwide1 @salamandereyes
@cutebaby I am completely oblivious about Japan (perks of living in a rural area lol,) but a little bird told me around six NZ students get interviewed every year. Could be completely wrong though.
Will all six NZ students get in Harvard this year? @salamandereyes
