Harvard University Class of 2022 SCEA Applicants Thread

@ecoearth I submitted my application on Sunday and my interviewer contacted me a few minutes ago.

I submitted my application on Friday and still haven’t been contacted

@ballin2022 don’t stress about that. i submitted Thursday and just got contacted Monday evening. some AOs are busier than others, so it might take a little longer. but it really isn’t a huge deal that you haven’t been contacted yet, give it time.

My interviewer told me that his evaluation is due November 13th. Not sure if this applies to all interviewers.

@MaybeHarvard2022 Thanks! Congrats on sending it in btw, and hopefully fingers crossed I’ll be seeing most of you at harvard next year :wink:

@ecoearth here’s to hoping!!!

For those of you who have been contacted for interviews, was it by phone or email?

@jpm1234 by phone

It will vary by interviewer.

Submitted my application today!

Not being able to submit my FA stuff by the deadline shouldn’t affect my decision right? Is it true that FA and admissions officers don’t interact at all in the decisions process?

@MaybeHarvard2022 when my interviewer called me, they said it varies by area when their evaluations are due and mine said November 10 for my area

I had my interview about 2 weeks ago and it was really informal, but very fun. My interviewer and I talked about my life and my extracurricular activities and my goals. Just be yourself and talk to them conversationally.

@Soccer1235 no, you just won’t get ur financial aid estimate on time if you’re accepted.

Hey everyone! I submitted my app recently but now I’m stuck because I don’t know if I should submit my photography as an arts supplement. The “unusual talent” line has me a bit worried.
What should I consider doing? (Also, I’m an international applicant)

Wait, by when does the FA stuff need to be in? @MaybeHarvard2022

Did anyone do the book list supplement?

@VeritasFicta based on the email i got from the Financial Aid Office, November 1st or as they say “a few days after”

@jswani that was my first idea but i scraped it cuz i didn’t think it’d come out well.

@skieurope hey, what would be the best way to send an update regarding SAT scores? No self-report on the common app & scores aren’t in yet but have been requested by the college board to send.
