<p>I got a request for an interview from Harvard transfer. How much of a good thing is this? I considered myself a weak candidate so this is a surprise. Thanks</p>
<p>Did they call you? Where do you live? It might be an alum interview if you're far away. If not, I wonder how far they expect you to drive/fly.</p>

<p>I'm assuming you were not interviewed during your freshmen application or that you did not apply then. This can be taken as a good sign, however, I've heard that many of the transfer interviews are offered to applicants who haven't been interviewed before.</p>
<p>Make sure you wear the proper attire to the interview.</p>
<p>A 1993 Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Champs t-shirt and a pair of black ripped jean shorts will definitely catch the interviewer’s eye.</p>
<p>I recommend going in a gin soaked t-shirt that says "KISS ME I'M *****FACED"</p>
<p>Do you have to go to Harvard's campus?</p>
<p>If so, it's a very very serious thing. It isn't anything like freshman alumni interviews. This means that you're actually on the threshold and could get into Harvard if everything goes well.</p>
<p>Nervous? Good luck.</p>
<p>After stalking CC for two years, there is one thing I learned about Harvard Interview: It's a good thing. I distinctly remember those who were offered a transfer-interview were either accepted or waitlisted. There isn't one who was out right rejected. I don't know the procedure of the Harvard interview or what's the purpose; I'm only relying on CC's record.</p>
<p>Yo i m just wondering whether you got the message on postal or did you receive an email? God i m so jealous of you... Where do you live? are you an international applicant? Stats?</p>
<p>in addition to reddune's comment, my friend that applied to Harvard last year from my CC was offered an interview and then waitlisted, so that theory does sound good.</p>
<p>EBL,</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>EBL have you recieved a call from your alumnus yet? Arent they supposed to call before April 23?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think alums are suppposed to call before 23rd according to an email from the office. My interviewer told me the write-up for interviews is due 26th. Interview is a good sign but result is unpredictable, he said.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response. I received an email saying that an alumnus in the area will call me and to let the Harvard Transfer office know ASAP if I have not been contacted by the 23rd. I have never applied anywhere besides my current institution. </p>

<p>such a weak applicant lol</p>
<p>Where do you go to school now?</p>
<p>Here's an interesting question: Is an interview really necessary if one of your letters of recommendation is from an alum?</p>
<p>Good question, both of my recs were from alumni as well</p>
<p>Your teachers went to Harvard ?</p>
<p>Yes they did, one I think taught there as well for a little bit. Both are very cool guys and I am very glad that I got to know them.</p>
<p>one of my rec is from a harvard alum...still asked me for an interview</p>
