interview?

<p>does everyone who applies to harvard get an interview? or does this mean they saw your application and think you are a qualified candidate? </p>

<p>the reason i am asking is because i applied EA to yale and was never even offered an interview, and was ultimately rejected (prolly because of a lack of interview...i hoped for a deferral). so therefore i assumed that not everyone is given an interview. is it just by chance who gets one, or is there some method behind it?</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure it's just by chance, ultimately depending on the number of harvard alum in your area. i don't think not getting an interview would hurt your chances in any way.</p>
