<p>Okay, so if you recognize me at all you'd know that I'm exchanging in Taiwan from New York this year.</p>
<p>So Harvard requires an interview, yes? And I was assigned one based upon my home address, and no it isn't possible to fly back home, so my interviewer and I agreed to "unofficially" exchange e-mails. I sent her one big huge long one and then over two months later she replied the other day with an e-mail that frankly worried the hell out of me.</p>
<p>First, she mentioned how she talked about me with other applicants. People who, for all I know, didn't know much about me. So, interviewers here, do you ever take into account what one student says about another? It seems like a little sketchy since I wasn't even interviewed in the first place.</p>
<p>Second, she goes on into the schpeal about how no one she's ever interviewed has gone to Harvard and how it's really not that important where you go to school and if I don't make it, life moves on. So here's my question. That all seemed pretty negative as if she almost knew I would be rejected. Could she know this? Would the admissions committee take into account her comments when we never had an interview and when we we're declared "unofficial"?</p>
<p>Thanks, what a great way to wake up on a Sunday morning, haha.</p>
