Interview - Does this mean anything?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Last Thursday (October 26) I sent my Common-App via internet and I over-nighted my school forms and they arrived at Harvard the following day, October 27 at noon.</p>

<p>Today, being November 2, which is 6 days after Harvard received all of my materials, I got a call from a local attorney for an interview which will happen on Monday. </p>

<p>My question is, seeing as this happened in less than a week, do you think this may mean something? I mean, even though I sent my things in a week ago, Harvard received a recc. letter for me from a certain someone 3-4 weeks ago.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>What do you mean by "mean something?"</p>

3

<p>By that I mean, do you think that they are interested in me, seeing as I was contacted almost immediately after I sent out my app.</p>

<p>I hope the clarifies what you were asking.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think this means a local alumni finally found some time to interview you... its independant of whether or not harvard received ur stuff or not.</p>

5

<p>It mostly means that the alumni interviewer schedulers are trying to make sure all applicants have time to get their interviews done.</p>

6

<p>yea, if an alum contacts you early or late, that's usually in accordance with what is most convenient for them, and they'll try to contact you as soon as they can.</p>

<p>"a recc. letter for me from a certain someone"
Huh?
Maybe the question is -- Do you think the "certain someone" "may mean something" in admissions? And since no one here knows "someone," what are you trying to find out?</p>

<p>If you get it, then it means "something". If you don't, well then, I guess it was just coincidence. ;)</p>

<p>Yeah, um...I don't think it means anything...</p>

<p>Harvard tries to interview every single applicant. It's no surprise that you're being contacted right after you get your app in. A friend of mine applied to Yale online a couple weeks ago and was called for an interview within a couple days.</p>

<p>For whatever it is worth...I was contacted for an interview five days after I mailed my EA application! It means nothing.</p>
