<p>I did a harvard on-campus interview back in june, but now I wonder.. will I be getting a call for an alumni interview after sending in my application? If so, how will the on-campus interview be viewed?</p>

<p>From what I heard if they have space for you, they'll interview you. But that's provided they can give all the others a slot.</p>

<p>And I heard the on-campus will be viewed as a supplement to your alumni interview.</p>

<p>Thank you. I appreciate your response.</p>

<p>Can anyone say anything for certain?</p>

<p>Not sure this exactly applies, daughter had an on-campus interview during her "official" visit under NCAA rules. Shortly after applying EA, she was contacted locally for another interview. </p>

<p>The on-campus guy seemed to be sort of a team liaison adcom, daughter just got a nice personalized letter from him. Daughter thought the on-campus interview was to weed out recruits that were considered not admittable by the adcoms.</p>

<p>I was interviewed on campus by a Mr. Dwight Miller -- I believe he is the senior admissions director. Our conversation was comfortable and engaging. He made me feel comfortable and he seemed to be interested in my background, ECs, etc.</p>

<p>So according to what I've gotten so far... this interview will most likely be viewed as a supplement to the alumni? Can anyone vouch?</p>

<p>Yes. (10 char)</p>

<p>I think an interview with Dwight Miller is much more important than one with an alum (although alumni interviews are also important). He was responsible my application, and I heard that he has been involved with Harvard for a long time. He will probably have a lot of influence over your decision depending on what he thought of you.</p>

<p>It is correct that if there's an alum available to interview you, you'll get an interview.</p>

I just found this very old post and wonder if anyone who can share their on on-campus interview questions at Harvard? Any suggestion and advice are greatly appreciated.
