<p>I submitted my Harvard application the day before the deadline (I know, it's better to be really early, but I just didn't have time), but I haven't been contacted for an interview yet. I've already been contacted by the other Ivy Leagues that I've applied to. Has anyone been contacted for a Harvard interview? Also, do they really try to give everybody an interview, or do they just say that?</p>
<p>It’s still early. Some people have already been contacted for an interview but one of my interviewer told me that the deadline for interview evaluations is in late February, so I suppose it’s about the same for all the Ivies. Don’t worry. They TRY but doesn’t mean they manage to do so with ten thousands of applicants.</p>
<p>Do they contact and interview better candidates first?</p>
<p>No. It all depends on when you submitted your application, where you live, how many interviewers are available.</p>
<p>Yeah depends on an availability of alums. I live in NYC so even though I submitted my application the last day, I got my interview like 2 days later.
My friend who’s in boarding school in rural New Hampshire still hasn’t been contacted .</p>
<p>Had my interview already. Admittedly, I submitted early December, but still.</p>
<p>I got contacted by an alum! I’m so relieved. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>I got an email from the local alumni club saying that an alumni would contact me within two weeks.</p>
<p>In any case, if they’re doing these this late, the interview must be more of an addendum than something major to an application (I wouldn’t blow it off in any case).</p>
