<p>Hey all. I applied to Harvard and was kind of not serious because my chances of getting in are about as great as a pig falling out of the sky. In any event, I filled out the Common App for Harvard and they have contacted me for an interview. Should I even bother? Thanks :)</p>
<p>Yes of course you should! You are sooo lucky you got an interview! Do you live in the Boston area or no?</p>
<p>Do it!</p>
<p>Better to try and gain experience than not try and gain nothing.</p>
<p>lol who ever said pigs couldn’t fall from the sky?</p>
<p>Good point! Sheesh, I am applying and I am just as nervous.</p>
<p>Almost every applicant gets an interview. Of course, go to the interview, but it doesn’t necessarily connote that they are about to accept you or anything.</p>
<p>Go there just for the experience alone. Speak to a Harvard graduate and learn something!</p>
<p>Really? I didn’t know that :-/</p>
<p>Interviews are based solely on whether there is an available person near your location. It has nothing to do with how good/bad your application is.</p>
<p>I also forgot to mention that I neglected to pay the application fee, still haven’t sent my SAT scores, haven’t filled out the supplement. I have filled out the bare minimum. I think that is why I am so shocked that I was contacted for an interview!</p>
<p>By the way-thanks to everyone who has responded I REALLY appreciate it!!! :)</p>
<p>oh and i live in new jersey! so not really the boston area haha</p>
<p>So do I :-)!!</p>
<p>ah realllly?! that’s awesome!</p>
<p>I know :-). Small world, huh? Well good luck on your interview. I’m sure you will be just fine ;-).</p>
<p>Tornado happens XD</p>
<p>thank you so much MorganSimone…good luck with everything!</p>
<p>If you don’t want to go to Harvard, don’t waste the alum interviewer’s time by having an interview. Alum interviewers are busy people who are volunteers.</p>
<p>It’s not that I do not want to go. I just don’t have a shot in hell</p>
