<p>:(:(:(</p>
<p>Seems very late... I'm going to call because I'll be in Boston in March.</p>
<p>Submitted my app in the last week.</p>
<p>My interviewer didn’t specify specifically when the interview was due, but I assume it was around the end of February based on what my other interviewers (the Yale and Brown ones) said. So, it might actually be too late.</p>
<p>Harvard offers interviews to as many applicants as they can-- I’d think that someone living practically in the neighborhood of Harvard (relatively speaking, I’m in New Orleans) would get one for sure.</p>
<p>By “in the last week” you mean by January 1st, right?</p>
<p>The application was due over a month ago how could you have possibly submitted it last week? Unless by “in the last week” you meant “the last week before January 1st,” or your applying for transfer.</p>
<p>I just got my Penn interview only a couple days ago if that helps.</p>
<p>Haha I said “Submitted my app in the last week” i.e. last week of December. I said that because my app may or may not be “at the bottom of the pile,” and so alum’s have yet to contact me.</p>
<p>rainbow when’d you submit your penn app?</p>
<p>I’m going to be feeling awful if I don’t get an interview… I understand they don’t have time for everyone, but obviously they are going to pick most from the highest scorers.</p>
<p>I submitted my Penn app like 2 weeks early. I submitted my Harvard app later (like 2 days before the deadline) and had my interviewer contact me about 2 weeks before my Penn interviewer did. It’s all dependent on the number of alumni from each school in your area.</p>
<p>Ugh I’m feeling really pessimistic about my interview at the moment!:(</p>
<p>I sent mine in at approximately 11:59 PM January 1st. Got my interview email a week later, had the interview on MLK day.</p>
<p>Did you make sure to check your spam email? Harvard interviews everyone they can (no discrimination), and I’m sure there are a ton of alumni in the NJ area.</p>
<p>Is it possible to setup an interview with an alumni I know? i.e. have them contact Harvard/the alumni organization and schedule, etc? Perhaps I should call…</p>
<p>It’s a terrible idea to interview with someone you know…also, does this said alum normally do interviews? Some regional clubs require potential interviewers to go through some sort of training process…</p>
<p>I know an alumni on a personal basis, and another on a “know of” (not personal) basis. He would be willing to interview me… perhaps this would give a break to the admissions committee, and guarantee me an interview?</p>
<p>I don’t care what is said about how interviews do not hurt applications, if I don’t have an interview then my application won’t be further benefited and that IS a loss.</p>
<p>I haven’t been contacted for an interview either. Does anyone know when interview reports are due from the alumni? I heard from one person that it was January 31st which would mean it’s too late… Has anyone had an interview in the month of February?</p>
