<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I have my harvard interview in a week, and i'm curious: How much information will my interviewer have about me? Will they have my transcript/stats? Will they have any special notes about me from the admissions office? Will they know where i was accepted early? If there's any other useful info, please let me know!</p>

<p>Check the CC archives as all of those questions have been answered many times before. There's also plenty of other useful info on CC about Harvard interviews.</p>
<p>The only question that you asked that I don't think was answered before was about whether they know if you were accepted early anywhere. Unless they happen to know your friends who told them (and that can happen), no they would not know. Harvard also specifically asks alum interviewers not to ask about other acceptances. Demonstrated interest isn't important to Harvard since it has the highest yield in the country.</p>
<p>Hmm, one of the reasons i asked is bc i have a friend who was accepted to Yale EA, and despite not having told harvard (or to his knowledge, having released the info to them via any other person) that he was admitted, they seemed to know when he got his interview. Furthermore, they made him a rather generous offer of admission/financial aid that seemed to demonstrate that they wanted to draw him away from yale.</p>
<p>All they'll have is your name, phone number, and school you attend (either the guy/girl you mentioned in your last post is a special case or the interviewer somehow knew, maybe from an article in the paper or an unknown mutual friend). Mine actually asked for a resume-type deal and the interview was awesome. The resume actually kept the interview very lively (as I have a very bad memory, like I'll forget what I did in a summer or even my E.C.'s that I'm passionate about) and I got to talk a lot about my E.C.s and my views and the future. So, they won't know much about you, so make sure you're ready to give them the full run-down :)</p>
<p>My Harvard interview was the best so far, just make sure you have questions to ask your interviewer and try to shake off the nerves as early in the interview as you can. Good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, and my interviewer did ask about where I applied to, but not about other acceptances.</p>
<p>"they seemed to know when he got his interview."</p>
<p>How did they reveal that they knew? Did they say, "So, I hear you've gotten into Yale" ?</p>
<p>If it was anything short of that, I'd be skeptical.</p>
<p>My interviewer asked me to send him a resume and help fill out the Local Interview Worksheet prior to the interview so that he could get off on the right foot with things to ask me.</p>
