@@Rammyrich awesome, had so much fun. It was through zoom though. It's more of a conversation than an interview. Just be you. I remember telling him that my biggest regret this year is cutting my hair 😅he laughed hard. Don't be too formal
I wasn't even given an interview. Despite what Harvard is stating on this video, Harvard prioritizes giving interviews to people they are more interested in admitting. If you are not given an interview, in true effect, you have already been denied. Harvard admitted this under oath in the SFFA lawsuit.
Youre partially correct, i think, they dont offer interviews to ppl they are planning to reject for sure, but if you can’t be offered an interview then that doesnt mean ur rejected. I also know someone who got an interview and felt that it went really well but got deferred. Maybe, even, the admissions office felt your application covered who you were very well and they didnt need an interview to further assess who you are.
could really just be alumni availability in your area. if you live somewhere that is scarce of alumni, your chance of getting an interview is much lower than someone that lives in cambridge/boston
What I think is inappropriate is that some alumni ask for your resume. I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving it to a stranger. I had one alum call from his car while he was driving which I thought was inconsiderate and another from outside the country and connection wasn’t great.
I disagree w/ you, respectfully. Anytime someone can meet w/ you or find the time to speak w/ you regarding admissions it’s a good time to speak. That’s the time that works best for them at that moment & also the resume allows admissions to get a good understanding of your background. Now if you feel uncomfortable about your experiences then that’s understandable. But it shouldn’t be a problem or concern for a member of admissions to contact you from any location or have an unconventional method of interviewing. Consider yourself fortunate to get a select call that might change the trajectory of your life. Good Luck with the interview.
nope it doesn't mean you have been rejected. The alumni interviews happen based on region. Some students will get an interview and some won't, but there is no need to worry because the interviewer doesn't get any info about your application (so its not like they choose you based on your grades or your stats). Interviews happen based on availability of alumni in your area. If you didn't get an interview it probably means that currently, there aren't any alumni available which doesn't mean you have been automatically rejected. You might also get an interview later on and not at the same time as some of your classmates or friends. So moral of the story, dont worry mate. You can get into Harvard or any other school for that matter, without being invited to have an interview. Hope this helped.
@@KLen-ff1ylI’m not sure for all schools but I’d assume it’s similar for all the ivies. My Princeton interviewer only knew my name and maybe my school. If you go on google you should be able to find all the answers
@@KLen-ff1yl I think for most schools alumni have no idea about you or your application. From all of my interviews, nobody knew anything about me, so don’t be afraid to talk about stuff you have already mentioned in your application.
Had mine last week! The alumni are super friendly and the conversation flows really easily. No need to worry :)
did everything go well?
Thanks 😊I have my Harvard interview virtually on February 4th.

is this true? They did state that no interview will not negatively affect your application, but logistically an interview will positively affect it.

@@Dakosx do all schools work like that? Like all alumni are people who don’t know your application
