good GOD I hope you’re right. well it was actually march 28. but you dont think there’s a chance my interviewer just procrastinated until then, do you? I didn’t ask her, since she gave no indication of bringing it up, and i figured she wouldn’t know anyway</p>
<p>I hope this means I’m not flat-out rejected. waitlisted would be fine. if I can be borderline at harvard, maybe ill get in somewhere!!</p>
<p>:D ^Notwithstanding the fact that other places have very different admissions practices??</p>
<p>Relax.</p>
<p>Stupe…time to fess up to these Harvarites that you did just get into Georgtown. Not too shabby. I still have faith in this Harvard thing. I REALLY doubt they’d “waste” their time scrambling to do an interview this late if it didn’t bode well for you.</p>
<p>a last minute interview aint a bad thing… they probably want to accept you, but at the same time, they probably want to make sure that the person is not a freak of nature…</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>
Ahahaha thanks for sharing that news 
I have semi-faith in it, but i wouldnt be surprised if I did end up rejected. we’ll see in 3 days!! :O</p>
<p>But, for instance, what makes a late-March interview more normatively significant than one conducted in December? The more likely reality is that forming accommodations may have simply been an overwhelming duty. Applicants straddling the admission border are not necessarily consigned to such a late interview. Indeed, applicants apparently receive first interviews without the prearranged need for assigning some qualitative worth to their applications. In fact, the admissions committee would treat March 28 as a very non-preferable date in which to conduct one, which is more suggestive of accommodation concerns rather than its use as a more influential assessment.</p>
<p>Stupify: Try and calm down. Yes this whole process makes all of us nuts and almost no one gets into every top notch school no matter what their application is like. You’ve already gotten in to two great schools…Georgetown and NYU. It does seem crazy that you had an interview yesterday for Harvard but maybe they really like you and just wanted it confirmed by the person who interviewed you. If you were getting into every school you applied to then you would always wonder if you reached high enough.</p>
<p>In my college applications, the schools that threw together interviews for me very late in the game ended up giving me good news. This doesn’t provide a large set of data, but my experience was that late interviews (and second interviews) are supposed to answer a question the school has about the candidate, or increase interest.</p>
<p>Of course, there’s a chance the interviewer really couldn’t meet for a ridiculously long amount of time. There is also the possibility where an applicant pushes hard for an interview late in the game, and the committee makes it happen because every student is entitled to one.</p>
<p>Given the circumstances, and Harvard’s well-organized admissions process, I’m optimistic for our fellow CC’er.</p>
<p>I guess all is revealed in 2.5 days :)</p>
<p>^Thanks :D</p>
<p>I didn’t “push” for one (I didnt know you could do that) but that other option (interviewer procrastinating) is definitely still possible lol</p>
