Mildly upset because I /still/ haven’t been contacted for an interview. 
Harvard needs to follow Columbia and Stanford’s example of accepting unofficial score reports.
Let’s say we advance in a highly competitive national scholarship. How would be update in the applicant portal? Send a copy of the email?
I haven’t gotten an interview email either… 
Just finished my interview! Was pretty laid back, even talked about Stranger Things. Now all I have to do is wait…
That is amazing! Good luck!!
If you are a finalist, you can send an email. Note that one should be very selective of the type of updates sent. Generally if it is something that appears is a newspaper other than the local weekly, send it. Thing like making captain of the baseball team, don’t. Harvard, and every other college, knows that additional honors come along after the application date, but really, they have enough info to make their decision as it is.
@crimsondream22 When did you submit your application to Harvard? October 15? And which country are you from?
@nekanorneki I am from Iran. I submitted my application on November 1st.
@crimsondream22 Thanks and Congratulations! You certainly are going to be Harvard’22!
@nekanorneki Thank you for your kindness but wow, I don’t think we can assume that I will get in solely based on the fact that I got an interview. I know another Iranian girl who was interviewed last year but didn’t get in (but her stats were nowhere near mine, and her interview didn’t really go well). Nevertheless, I hope mine goes well… freaks out and best of luck to you!
@crimsondream22 Best of luck to you too! Hope to meet you at Harvard next fall!
Good luck! iA it will go well! And just so you don’t feel so pessimistic about it, interviews in my country are most certainly selective, regardless of what the website/officials/others say. I don’t think we’ve ever come across a case that got in and wasn’t interviewed, and the number of people taken every year from my country is very small. It follows then everyone that does end up with an interview has a very very engorged chance of admission. You should be very hopeful!!
@Tahir4321k Do update us when you get an interview.
To be very honest I don’t think my sister will get in but if I hear of someone else from my area then I’ll let you know for sure
@Tahir4321k Thanks!
@Tahir4321k Thanks for further clarifying the situation in your country. The same thing goes for my country, which is really reassuring. However, as with college admissions, we just can’t tell anything until the decisions are out, so my “Inner Department of Defense,” as a friend calls it, is urging me not to get my hopes far up to the stars. @nekanorneki is right, do keep us updated. Best wishes!
@crimsondream22 An interview with an admissions officer definitely seems like a big deal!! Good luck!
Hey, I’m just sorta curious. How many of you guys have national/international awards? I feel like a lot of people Harvard accepts have these (I don’t have any).
@LeBirthdayBoss I do.
