Harvard University (2023-2024)

[jolly lichen]

it's really not very standardized but generally I'd be prepared to talk about your own background, things you've enjoyed in HS, what you want to do in college

[tall moat]

are they very separate from one another? just want to make sure I’m asking questions he can answer

[viscid pike]

should my harvard loci be submitted thru the portal?

[jolly lichen]

yeah HMS and Harvard college are fairly disjoint

[tall moat]

rip 🥲

also interviews are completely availability based right

[buoyant carbon]

yes afaik

[jolly lichen]

kinda sorta

[buoyant carbon]

@jolly lichen do you do interviews

[jolly lichen]

I considered it but I declined this year

maybe next year

[buoyant carbon]

cool

[bronze gyro]

bro you rejected a harvard interview request meanwhile i havent got one from any school

[jolly lichen]

I'm a harvard grad, they were asking whether I wanted to conduct interviews

lol

[lofty depot]

😆

u guys are funny fr

[zinc helm]

makes me wonder if my interviewer is in this very server lurking

if you are. Hope we had a great talk mate

[solemn quest]

do harvard interviews prescreen at all

ik its mostly availability but im wondering if its slightly the way yale does it

cuz it says at the discretion of admissions committee

[zinc helm]

ngl I dont think anyone knows for sure but im almost positive they do

[rancid mural]

if u get it immediately then no

[solemn quest]

if i got it like 2 days ago?

no point in knowing atp im just curious lmao

[rancid mural]

well

they don't directly prescreen

but some ppl get interviews after first-read

which is usually those who dont have availability near them

like ppl whp didnt get it immediately

[cedar kite]

I got on interview today

So is that bad? As in like I’m on the borderline and they want to know more?

Cause I think it that’s what Yale does right?

[zinc helm]

interview is anything but bad

[rancid mural]

no ur fine lmfao

interview is not super important

[cedar kite]

Ok bet bet

Do y’all find out about your interviewer before you get there

[rancid mural]

wdym

like their job and stuff?

[cedar kite]

Yeah

[bronze gyro]

||shit.. my position has been compromised||

[jolly hinge]

Harvard is my new favorite

Thank you Google

🙏

[vague hemlock]

Ay more famous than Harvard itself

[lofty depot]

i got a dumb question

if someone asks you to choose a day between x and y; does it include x and y too?

[wary sparrow]

Yes id assume yes

[lofty depot]

perfect thanks!

[wary sparrow]

Did you receive an interview alr?

[lofty depot]

not harvard

i got duke today

[autumn dock]

Can I have an LOR removed from portal?

[zinc helm]

Might be too late for that

[jaunty umbra]

is it too late to get an interview here

[reef forge]

No

[nimble thistle]

Interviews are given until early March, don’t worry

[rancid mural]

while ur not wrong, the deadline for most clubs is early feb

it happens afterward, but much less frequently

[jaunty umbra]

Does it mean anything if you’re not offered an interview?

[bitter path]

Depends on ur location

If u from a place that has no form of tech

And definitely no alumni

Then yh it dont matter

But assuming u on discord and have access to technologies

Then yh

Barely anyone gets in without an interview

[autumn dock]

Can I have an LOR removed from portal?

[frigid herald]

no

[autumn dock]

What if a counselor emails their admissions committee and tells them that the lor was uploaded by mistake, would it be possible to get it removed in that case?

[frigid herald]

Oh probably

But as far as telling them that you don't want that LOR on there anymore just because you want a different one or something no

[autumn dock]

Oh okay thanks

[frigid herald]

It would also most certainly have to come from the person who uploaded (presumably it’s your counselor?)

[autumn dock]

It’s a teacher lor but my counselor uploaded it

[frigid herald]

Ah ok

Yeah just have your counselor call or email

[shell rain]

should i be worried i haven’t been contacted about a harvard interview? i dont know the period in which they send them out

[frigid herald]

You’ve got plenty of time dw

[shell rain]

do you know roughly when they have sent all of them

[frigid herald]

Idk about that I don’t think it’s a all at once type thing

[acoustic lynx]

Yo I have an interview on Saturday, anyone have their interview recently and have any advice?

[shell rain]

true, i just know i would be in an area where alumni would for sure be available so now i just believe i have no chance since i haven’t gotten an interview request like a lot of people have

[pulsar pond]

girl slay

[jolly lichen]

it's dependent on where you live and stuff

[jolly lichen]

might also be the case that there are also a ton of applicants tho (eg SF)

[oak sable]

hi has anyone from nc recieved an interview?

[shell rain]

well im in the denver area so im not sure if the amount of applicants would affect it as much as it would in SF

[jolly lichen]

are there that many Harvard grads in Denver...? (relative to applicants)

[shell rain]

honestly not entirely sure, i bet there’s a decent amount but im sure being a decent sized city there would be some doing interviews

[jolly yacht]

I had mine today

my interviewer mainly asked about my ECs and hobbies and things i do outside of school

the people who say its like a conversation is right imo

if its an in person interview i suggest getting there a little early, i was there early and my interviewer came in 5-7min early

[frigid herald]

Lmao my interviewer is such a lawyer. She told me after my interview that she wanted to keep in contact with any news about me and I sent her an email about Jack Kent Cooke and she said "That's great news! Keep me in the loop."

[jolly yacht]

LOL

[jolly yacht]

oh yea my interviewer asked me to show something from one of my hobbies too

i was caught off guard by that

so maybe prepare something to show

[frigid herald]

Mine didn't ask me to show anything, but it was really just a convo

Like talking to my teacher

[jolly yacht]

yea yea for sure

im very surprised

that

they didnt ask me why harvard

[frigid herald]

yeah they didn't ask me why harvard

tho they asked me what i liked about harvard the best

[jolly yacht]

my person didnt ask me about harvard at all

[frigid herald]

ah our conversation was about 80% just about me and my accomplishments, my goals, and stuff like that

20% of it was still Harvard driven tho

I had questions so that helped steer towards more harvard-y things

[jolly lichen]

sounds like basically why harvard lol

[jolly yacht]

my conversation was very nice tho

[frigid herald]

fair

[lofty depot]

I finally submitted my LOCI 🤧

wondering if they would even look at it now

[frigid herald]

Yes they will

[rancid mural]

yeah mine mostly asked about my town and my ecs

he asked what shows i like to watch and i said rick and morty 💀

[frigid herald]

LMAO THATS CRAZY BC IM WATCHING IT RN

Haven’t seen S7 yet

[rancid mural]

i think last one i saw was s5

usually i reqatch the full thing when a new season releases

im gonna binge the entire show over summer, rn i gotta lock in

my favorite episode is the story train

it gets so meta 😭

[finite lodge]

season 7 was rlly good imo

i didn't like 5/6 as much as the prev seasons

[frigid herald]

I didn’t like the one where Rick and Jerry switched minds

[lofty depot]

this helped thanks

[rocky yarrow]

so submitting an award update in february 8 or so would make it in time for committee?

would it possibly revive you from the rejected if its significant enough

[tall moat]

I don’t think one award would be enough

[rocky yarrow]

depends on what that award is its about quality over quantity

like regeneron sts finalist would be crazy

i’m just wondering about the timing in relation to the reading and committee process if you send update around february 8th

[tall moat]

doesn’t hurt to upload regardless

[autumn dock]

Are hs counselors allowed to email the admissions office to remove a letter of recc now if they sent it by mistake?

[lofty depot]

too late but yeah they're allowed

[autumn dock]

Oh so if a hs counselor tells them it was submitted by mistake right now then Harvard and Cornell could remove it from their portal?

[rancid mural]

why not just try it lol

no one here has been in that situation

just ask ao at both schools what to do

[autumn dock]

Ig I’ll try it since I called them myself and they said nothing submitted can be removed but idk if it’s a different scenario if a counselor emails them

[rancid mural]

why do u need it removed so bad anyway

[autumn dock]

ik you’ll think I’m joking or crazy but I found out she made shit up cuz of a conflict of interest and need it removed basically

[rancid mural]

so she spoke poorly about you?

[autumn dock]

She basically fabricated a negative story to make the recc look more balanced instead of it looking weird and being too perfect so she felt as though it should come across as more reasonable

[rancid mural]

has she never written a lor before

[autumn dock]

Yea and I asked the people she sent them to and they said she did the same thing to them

[rancid mural]

yeah theres not a way to get that removed

it might be fine it might not

[autumn dock]

No I mean like what if the hs counselor sent them that specific recc by mistake could it be removed?

[rancid mural]

u could try to have ur counselor email and say that the lor has fabricated info

[split eagle]

no way they would do that tho 💀

[rancid mural]

the counselor or the aos?

[split eagle]

that situation sucks tho @autumn dock i wouldnt do anything if i were in it

[split eagle]

the counselor

that's just putting her job at risk

[rancid mural]

why would the counselor not do that

how is that putting her job at risk 😭

[split eagle]

they would be admitting to fabricating a story

[autumn dock]

The counselor knows it’s fabricated but doesn’t know how to respond and act basically she’s new

[rancid mural]

the counselor isnt the one who did it?

[autumn dock]

The counselor just uploaded it but the teacher fabricated it

[split eagle]

oh was it a teacher rec?

[rancid mural]

yes it was teacher rec

[split eagle]

oh damn

yea just email the counselor then and dont say anything about it to the teacher 💀

[rancid mural]

my counselors would do anything to help me honestly

so its crazy that yall have bad ones sometimes

[split eagle]

i love my counselor

[split eagle]

how many do u have

i just got one 😭

[rancid mural]

2, one handles technical stuff/rank and graduation and the other handles scheduling

[split eagle]

damn that's tuff

[rancid mural]

2 for the school btw

not just for my hrade

[split eagle]

oh that's actually insane wth

[rancid mural]

eh, school has about 600 ppl

my class has like 155

[split eagle]

we have 4 per grade per last name alphabet placement 💀

oh yea that makes sense my class size is over double

[lofty depot]

wait if the rec came from a teacher and the counsellor says it was a mistake or something, isn't that a little unusual?

also they certainly won't remove it from the portal, but they might not take it into consideration

but considering it's like end of jan, maybe they're already done with reading of the lor so idk honestly 🤧

btw if I don't get an interview despite the loci

Do i just assume it's THE END : (

[autumn dock]

Omg shit

[lofty depot]

was it too bad though? like if it's balanced and like the good stuff overpowers the bad, I think you'll be fine?

[bleak prawn]

Any intls rd applicant got interviews?

[autumn dock]

good defo overpowered the bad but bad was more of like he gets frustrated in difficult concepts and needs to improve public speaking when none of this happened :/

[autumn dock]

no i didnt yet idk if we were pre screened or they didnt get to us yet ahaha

[stable pecan]

I know you’re upset because it’s a lie but it’s also fine

[autumn dock]

Yea I’ll leave my feelings aside it’s so weird and unexpected I don’t get it I but I hope it doesn’t come across as negative

Idc and don’t want to know why she made it up I just don’t want the AOs to take it as negative

[stable pecan]

They won’t

[autumn dock]

I really hope so 😟

[stable pecan]

What her message also reads is that you’re passionate about what you do in class and really want to get it right

If you get rejected, it’s most likely not the rec letter

[autumn dock]

Yess she mentioned a lot of positives

But she put in that weird part 😂

[stable pecan]

This is probably why FERPA is a thing 😂

[autumn dock]

ahahaha

It’s kinda unfair that we don’t get to see our lors

[fiery crag]

prescreen for intl but not domestic

but also my interviewer might be wrong

pls don't quote me on this

[autumn dock]

Wait so would a domestic applicant studying at an intl high school also get pre screened?

[fiery crag]

no idea sorry

my interviewer might not know the process

im sorry

we'll know in march if it means anything

[frigid herald]

i'm p sure domestic are pre-screened (at least thats what my interview said )

I think interviewers just like messing with us tbh

[fiery crag]

they prob don't know

[frigid herald]

Sorry maybe "screened" isn't the right word. She said that ontop of availbility the strength of the app is taken into account. I assume that's what you mean by screened

[rancid mural]

yeah if ur app is good but theres not much availability, u will get an interview

[frigid herald]

Yuh fr

[rancid mural]

even if ur app is trash, if theres tons of availability, u will get one before they even read it

cus its to keep alumni engaged

[frigid herald]

I'm going to tell myself that's why my interviewer drove 5 hours to meet me

[rancid mural]

HUH

[frigid herald]

?

[rancid mural]

why didny they just do virtual 😭

[frigid herald]

Haha she had a client in a city/(i think it's actually technically a town) thats only 1 and 1/2 hours away from me

So she was meeting with them that day and asked if I wanted an in person interviewer we could do it then

[rancid mural]

thats still crazy

1.5 hours is still alot

[frigid herald]

Yeah but I really wanted an in person interview

[timber oriole]

YO

my harvard interview went crazy today

my interviewer said harvard would truly benefit from having me

😭

[pseudo hawk]

Nice!!

What questions did they ask btw

[rancid mural]

u got them to answer the golden question at the end with a yes

gj that was ur only goal (aside from learning abt harvard and other stuff)

[pseudo hawk]

golden question?

[rancid mural]

at the very end of the report theyre asked "do you believe this student would be a good fit for harvard"

make them say yes to that and gj u passed ur interview

[timber oriole]

:0

how important is this for my overall profile then

like how much would this boost

[pulsar pond]

should I mention my grades in my loci

or is that a waste of space

[frigid herald]

You could mention it very briefly

[pulsar pond]

alright i'll just write one sentence about it thx

also can I mention I kept my grades up despite preparing for other college apps

im not gonna name drop schools i've applied to but like is it not a good ida to talk about how i've applied to other schools

[frigid herald]

Me personally I would not

I would mention keeping up your grades while still actively engaging in (name an example of one of ur big ECs)

and/or preparing for college through applying for scholarships and other programs

[pulsar pond]

i got no major ECs that i could update them about :(((

[frigid herald]

Hmm

[pulsar pond]

ill talk about one that i didn't include in my app

[frigid herald]

What are your hobbies?

[pulsar pond]

about how i raised 4k usd for my school through a musical that I wrote

[frigid herald]

Like what do you do after school? Maybe a club a sport

That’d be great!

[pulsar pond]

i do have a plastic pollution organization

[frigid herald]

Even better

[pulsar pond]

technically idk if it's a club

cuz our school doesn't allow students to form clubs on our own

[frigid herald]

Fuck em

[pulsar pond]

the organization was teacher sponsored

[pulsar pond]

not like i can tell Harvard that or do they care

[pulsar pond]

sad truth about being in a non-international school student in Asia :(((

[frigid herald]

😦

Feel free, btw, to not listen to my advice. Obviously I’m no expert, these are all just my opinions and suggestions

[pulsar pond]

yea ik but still thank you very much for the advice

rly need it lol

[nimble thistle]

waste of space because they have your transcript and official mid year report

[pulsar pond]

idk if they'll just skim it over

so i was thinking if it's a good idea to at least remind them a bit

idk

[frigid herald]

Mentioning it briefly as a call back and/or reference emphasizes their success 🙂

[pulsar pond]

i can always delete that sentence

and like fr i just don't think i have a shot anyways ill just write whatever shit ass general loci

is it fine for me to use abbreviations

like for Hong Kong dollars I'll just say HKD

[nimble thistle]

maybe use this: HK$

[pulsar pond]

ok thx

[nimble thistle]

Good Luck with the LOCI

[pulsar pond]

tyty!

good luck with your college decisions as well :3

[autumn dock]

did anyone from the middle east (gulf region specifically) get a harvard interview yet? please ping me if you have an answer 😄

[round flame]

lol.

[jaunty umbra]

Maybe ask on the Reddit

[autumn dock]

Okayyy

[low spire]

:P how much does the interview matter if it went well

[limpid herald]

it can help slightly but usually interviews wont make or break your application unless theyre exceptionally terrible

[sterile onyx]

^^^they're more of a way to get to know more about the school rather than application consideration.

[low spire]

got it :P

[steady bear]

had my harvard interview today 💪

went pretty well but not incredible

[tribal copper]

wallahi im cooked

had my interview and didn’t even tell bro my major

didn’t tell bro why harvard

well he never asked but still

its over for me i already accept defeat

we talked about a lot but it was more about my experiences and his experiences at harvard and in life than it was why i wanted to attend harvard

we went for a little under an hour at starbucks

lemme send this thank you email before he finishes his report maybe i can rizz him

[stable pecan]

It’s not a necessity

You aren’t cooked

[round flame]

I had my Yale interview and I think my Yale interviewer only learnt about me that I like chess and math and that I follow the news 😂.

I think only I actually addressed the topic of Yale when asking him questions, but he didn't address Yale at all. Even when I asked him about Yale specific stuff, he answered broad stuff.

So yes, ig this is an extreme but yeah dw.

[tribal copper]

ok fair, he didn’t ask me either

i think he was more interested in what I did than what i’m interested in at harvard

idk if thats a good/bad thing but i cant make any predictions

[stable pecan]

One is more tangible than the other

[tribal copper]

nah that’s fair tho

[stable pecan]

Interviews are largely unstandardized so comparing and contrasting between interviews won’t help much

[tribal copper]

fair

oh well lets see if that 3/4% hits

i did my best

[stable pecan]

What’s the number about ?

[tribal copper]

acc rate

i think

3 or 4 percent?

[stable pecan]

0.75 % ?

Ohhh

[tribal copper]

😭😭my bad

[stable pecan]

😂

[tribal copper]

damn whatt

were you able to tell him what you found interesting at yale or not even?

[round flame]

no like nothing.

[tribal copper]

damn wow

im still cooked

[round flame]

So like yeah don't worry if your interviewer does the interview weridly, it's not your fault.

[stable pecan]

You’re not

This is one component

You’ve made your case for why Harvard and how you fit at Harvard’s and whether you’re what they want in your application already

[tribal copper]

ok thank you that’s reassuring

it wasnt weird just not what i was used to

we had a lot more of a convo than an interview

like we barely brought up harvard

[tribal copper]

you’re totally right ty

[stable pecan]

they do like it like that

[tribal copper]

does it make a difference that my interviewer is on the board of directors for admissions 💀💀

[stable pecan]

🤷‍♀️ \

speculating over this stuff is gonna give you a headache fr

chill

[tribal copper]

you’re right 😭😭

im going insane

idk why its so superficial but i want just this one school so bad

[stable pecan]

you've gotten the interview, you've done your best, now go do your homework

[stable pecan]

no problem in wanting a school bad

[tribal copper]

and i just feel like i fucked up

[stable pecan]

you didnt

[tribal copper]

also i feel pressured to be the first in my school to get an ivy😭😭 thats bad ik

[stable pecan]

you're just looking for excuses in case rejection comes

which is fine

[tribal copper]

but everyone is like counting on me

[stable pecan]

i look for excuses too

[stable pecan]

💀 these people wont remember you in like a year

i can barely remember my seniors from last year

[tribal copper]

you’re right😭😭

[stable pecan]

and we're a small school

my cope for my USC deferral was my mid term report wasn in yet LMAO

[tribal copper]

oooo

yea i definitely gotta be more confident in myself

like harvard/ivys are hard in general but with my application i have a great chance

gotta stop doubting myself yk

[fiery crag]

don't 0v3rrthink

:)

[tribal copper]

thank you❤️

[low spire]

If he never asked it’s fine

:P I had a really good interview and it was just me connecting with the interviewer a lot

[tribal copper]

that’s fair

oh well nothing i can do now

no point in stressing over it

[low spire]

o7 just gotta wait till march (unless ur one of the rare people who get a 2nd interview)

[tribal copper]

prob not💀💀

[low spire]

LOL mood but true statistically

[lofty depot]

my emotions rn

all thanks to harvard

[strange wedge]

Bro my Stanford interviewer says they prefer FaceTime 😭

[sterile onyx]

so real lmao\

[undone briar]

real though 😭 facetime > zoom

[craggy latch]

anyone applied to Harvard with alternative international app for fin aid?

[strange wedge]

Ur so right. I’m scared I’ll accidentally put 2 thumbs up and activate the animation thing tho😭😭

[lofty depot]

u guys overthink it too much 🤧

[stable pecan]

You’re right but this was hilarious coming from the Ms Luck. Overthinker era over ???

[strange wedge]

I was aboutta say😭

[strange wedge]

Don’t make me pull up your receipts

[lofty depot]

was just trying to help you see

[lofty depot]

[sweet tundra]

I think my interview went well but it was so short 😭 like 26 minutes

he said he knows I’d succeed at Harvard and would do everything he could to write me a great report though

[fiery crag]

length doesn't matter at all

dw

[sweet tundra]

i was all over the place but I hope my answers were alright

[rancid mural]

damn

ive never seen one that short ngl

mine was 45 mins

[timber oriole]

mine was 55 mins until he had to go for another appointment 5 min later LOL

surprised harvard interviews tend to be short

[sweet tundra]

😭😭😭

praying it isn’t bad
I’m his only interviewee this year but apparently he’s done them in the past
he was young and super chill

[rancid mural]

i got so lucky getting someone who lives in nyc ngl

[timber oriole]

my interviewer straight up told me each yr harvard picks a core group of ppl to interview, suggesting it's selective?

i was pretty shocked when i heard this

[fiery crag]

this is for AO interview prob

[timber oriole]

no he didnt say that

never said its AO

[rancid mural]

it is not selective 💀

[timber oriole]

thats what he said 🤷‍♂️

[rancid mural]

he lied

when did he attend @timber oriole

[timber oriole]

in the 80s or smth

how do u know its not selective

[rancid mural]

it was prolly like that when he went to school then lol

but not anymore

[rancid mural]

because almost everyone gets one

its based on availability and wanting additional info to weed out weirdos

also they said it themselves

[timber oriole]

"predominantly"

doesn't specify completely availability based

[rancid mural]

i know

[timber oriole]

yeah so

[rancid mural]

it literally says most applicants are interviewed though multiple times throughout that document

[timber oriole]

as long as it's not completely availability based

that reinforces what my interviewer said

[rancid mural]

no it doesnt? 😭

cus its not selective

almost everyone is interviewed

[fiery crag]

v likely we'll all still get rejected... interview or not

[rancid mural]

im not saying u cant feel proud about it but ur spreading misinformation

[timber oriole]

^^

im never saying interview means u have a high shot wtf

[limpid herald]

literally everyone gets an interview

[timber oriole]

im just saying interview has some degree of selectivity involved

the document never says 100% availability based

[rancid mural]

the selectivity being u dont have an 800 on ur SAT and a 2.0 gpa

[timber oriole]

yeah

and so what

thats still selectivity

[fiery crag]

i think that it can be taken out of context

[rancid mural]

selective implies that its difficult to obtain

[fiery crag]

^

[rancid mural]

most people hear selective and think difficult

[timber oriole]

i said "some degree of selectivity"

seems like we are talking abt different things

[rancid mural]

u said they pick a core group of people to interview

[timber oriole]

i said thats what my interviewer said

and on my end i said there is probably some degree of selectivity

[rancid mural]

my point is that a2c is bad at comprehending

saying smth like that gives them false hope

so i was correcting it

so no one starts to think its a sign

[solemn quest]

some degree of selectivity is prob the same selectivity harvard puts ppl through in the rea round when deciding between rejection/defer 💀

like yeah they're selecting....but basically everyone passes that prescreen

[rancid mural]

yeah exactly

if u can pass a class at harvard then ur gonna be deferred rather than rejected

[timber oriole]

that was never my intention, i was simply stating what my interviewer said and the screenshot u sent also reinforces the concept of some degree of selectivity

[rancid mural]

and as long as u didnt lie

[fiery crag]

do i trust reddit

[rancid mural]

no

[timber oriole]

yeah fs

[rancid mural]

only an AO would know that

[timber oriole]

its not meant to be interpreted as something that gives u a high chance

[rancid mural]

harvard thread is always so quick to believe reddit, they even did it on decision day and were all disappointed 💀

[frigid herald]

My interviewer told me we were pre screened but it’s not like they’re only interviewing the top 5% they’re interviewing like the top 60%

[rancid mural]

def more than 60%

[frigid herald]

Was just giving a big percentage didn’t know the real one

[rancid mural]

im sure theres secret thresholds

[timber oriole]

regardless of what the % is, the statement "everyone gets an interview" is definitely false

[rancid mural]

its hyperbole, not fact

[frigid herald]

Yes and that can be seen in (2) court cases lol

But it’s not indicative of anything

[solemn quest]

even if it wasn't selectivity based the statement "everyone gets an interview" would also be false tho bc not everyone has availability in their area

[timber oriole]

i love how harvard has been sued so many times that there are so many juicy court cases documents to read for fun 😹

[rancid mural]

they do virtual in that case

very few get in without an interview

[stable pecan]

Even so

If you don’t have alumni in your area it’s hard to do virtual

[rancid mural]

it takes longer but it still happens

[fiery crag]

out of the 9 ppl that ik who applied to harvard in my city, 4 got an interview. so.. there was selectivity in that??? OR.. the interviews are still sending out

[rancid mural]

cus they try to find someone as close to u as possible to do virtual

[frigid herald]

Harvard alumni will find a way to interview you if you’re assigned

[timber oriole]

where do u live?

[rancid mural]

mine previously lived here and is now in new york city

[fiery crag]

canada

[timber oriole]

oh interesting

[solemn quest]

can i dm u w/ smth kinda funny/crazy abt my harvard interview and availability 😭 since you're an admit right

[rancid mural]

sure and yes

[bitter path]

For us Canadians and Brits, it’s like the US 😭 fully based on availability but for the rest of international countries, some form of prescreening goes behind the scenes

[bitter path]

Wait it out

I remember reading on the Harvard website itself that almost all Canadians get an interview

[tall moat]

“Applicants are assigned interviews at the discretion of the Admissions Committee, based, in part, on availability of alumni in your local area.”

In part suggests that there is a small factor of selectivity? Idk tho and regardless it’s probably mostly availability based

[reef forge]

It kind of does suggest that

[errant phoenix]

So... where is my Harvard interview/

[tall moat]

Did u get yale yet? I just got my Dartmouth invite so schools r def still sending them out 🙏

[finite lodge]

wait are u fr? only one applicant from my hs (in london) has gotten an interview for rd so far, so i figured they prescreened and selected her or the rest of us would have gotten one as well??

[north ridge]

I’m asking the same thing about Stanford 😪

[tall moat]

REAL

[north ridge]

I still have hope cuz I thought it was over for Yale until I got an email like the other day

[bitter path]

Naurrrr, almost every brit gets an interview, no prescreening for us

Tho I personally didn’t get an alumni interview for some odd reason

[finite lodge]

damn

any idea when the deadline is for our club?

[bitter path]

But most of my friends that applied this cycle are still hearing back

[bitter path]

Not sure

My friend once sent me a pic of the email the interviewer

And they dont mention anything in there

[finite lodge]

oh okay the wait continues 🙏

[finite lodge]

calm

yeah my friend who got an interview also submitted dec 20th which seems early

idk if they go linearly

but thats just me overanalyzing atp

[errant phoenix]

I've got all my RD schools except for Yale + Harvard.

[errant phoenix]

DId you get an AO interview?

[bitter path]

[errant phoenix]

oh nice how many semis are there

[timber oriole]

i only submitted one rec and forgot to submit the other one 💀

even tho gatech's recs are all optional

[errant phoenix]

Lol me with coca cola i got no clue what they see in me. but good luck a full ride to any school (yet especially one based on merit to a top school like gtech) is insane. you got this

[timber oriole]

thanks, congrats for coca cola too! finalists come out in march or smth?

[errant phoenix]

[reef forge]

a2c meetup

https://tenor.com/view/robloxmilitary-navy-gif-25936490

[errant phoenix]

really lol

[median sparrow]

[vital wharf]

a2c kids are too focused on college to be eating

[errant phoenix]

[tribal copper]

nah ong

i starved myself to write supplementals

[mild lotus]

Im mad underweight lmao

[rotund epoch]

Bro you've been rocking stuffs real good huh

[acoustic granite]

guys i havent got an interview but its harvard so idk what to expect

[rocky yarrow]

its availability based for all schools except yale so dont worry

[rotund epoch]

I mean Yale isn't different too, right?

[sand iris]

What does Yale do

[fresh prawn]

they interview if they “want more info”

[jaunty umbra]

got an interview here

and they suggested the entire month of feb as possible dates 😭

works in management consulting

😭

[acoustic granite]

welp i havent got yale either

[bitter path]

This is so real 💀 literally lost 10kg between dec 25th-jan 5th, was literally only drinking water and maybe one snack a day during that time smh

[wary sparrow]

wth

pls stay healthy

[acoustic granite]

tf i gained weight omg

[bitter path]

I am generally healthy but when im stressed i literally lose appetite and constantly feel like I have a full stomach

[bitter path]

That’s goooddd bruh

[acoustic granite]

no but skinny is my fam beauty standard

[bitter path]

Fuck the beauty standards bruh, im skinny but they still got shit to say about my weight

Just be happy in ur body and u good

[lofty depot]

lol i've gained like 5 kgs and I love it 🤩

[acoustic granite]

n they said i should lose 10 more kgs and ill be healthy

[lofty depot]

i hope to gain like 5 more

[acoustic granite]

wish u can take it from mine lolllll

[lofty depot]

what no

[craggy latch]

please can any international students who applied with Harvard’s alternative fin aid app pm me?

[lofty depot]

what's alternative fin aid app?

[bitter path]

I did but it wasn’t accepted 😪

[craggy latch]

when did you send it?

[acoustic granite]

it's without css

[craggy latch]

If css fee is financial burden for intl students, we can send their form!

since we are not eligible for css fee waivers

[lofty depot]

oh does harvard accept that? i doubt

[acoustic granite]

guys does john hopkins have one

[bitter path]

If u dont apply for finaid on time, once accepted Harvard themselves send u the alternative letter

[craggy latch]

well they say that they do, haven’t filled it yet. Was about to do and got some questions

[craggy latch]

ohh really?

[lofty depot]

yale gave me css waiver though i wasn't eligible, does harvard not do that?

[craggy latch]

I thought fin aid process should be at the time of admission too?

[bitter path]

I only ticked i am gonna apply for finaid but didn’t complete the css profile 💀 so once my acceptance letter came thru they told me to complete the findaid stuff

[acoustic granite]

u mailed them or?

[craggy latch]

schools can give fee waivers or offer alternative options like isfaa/isafa or another school specific one

[acoustic granite]

not for need based ig

[lofty depot]

iirc they have a form on their website or something

[bitter path]

Most places allows u even after admission

[craggy latch]

no wayy that’s cool! did you send it together with verification of non-filer status?

[wary sparrow]

bruh i just submitted this several hours ago if they didn't accept it then idk

[lofty depot]

lemme check though

[wary sparrow]

well idt i'll be accepted tho

so no problem ig

[lofty depot]

they might, im just not sure

[wary sparrow]

i've given up on waiting for harvard and yale

[acoustic granite]

it's harvard idk what to expect

[wary sparrow]

expect nothing ig

[craggy latch]

for “which persons, including the applicant, are or will be in school or university?” what did you write for yourself 😭 that’s so confusing bc how do I know where I’ll be studying? did you just filled harvard and their annual cost of attendance or?

[craggy latch]

what did Yale do?(

[lofty depot]

is this what u guys used?

https://college.harvard.edu/alternate-application-financial-aid

[wary sparrow]

i think it asks where your siblings go to school

including you

or smth

i leave it blank bcs i'm an only child and i'm on a gap year

[bitter path]

I think so!

[craggy latch]

yeah, including the applicant part got me confused

[acoustic granite]

oh me too hbu ur tex return did u write any

[wary sparrow]

i dont have tax returns

[craggy latch]

do you have to send that non-filer status for each parent or you can send them combined in one

how did you guys do that

[bitter path]

There’s a form u need to fill up, I might be blind but cannot find it here

[wary sparrow]

honestly i did the fin aid thing a bit randomly bcs i dont expect i'll get in

so i dont put any effort on thinking what to write

[bitter path]

Dw about it! The finaid office once admitted will work with u trying to get u the support u need

They are rlly nice too

[wary sparrow]

yeah I'll just wait for that LOL

like it ever happens..

[acoustic granite]

omg me too

[bitter path]

Have faith!!

[wary sparrow]

it's hard to have faith honestly

gotta be real

[bitter path]

Understandable but also try to remember u will end up where u are meant to be

[acoustic granite]

i do but it's barely faith in harvard

[lofty depot]

u can be faithful and real at the same time

acknowledge the reality and then just have faith that the best awaits you

[wary sparrow]

esp for harvard

[bitter path]

The whole application process is very random and exhausting but ur AOs dont just look into ur app and decide whether u gonna get in or not, they also see if u will fit in

Whatever school sees u as the best fit

Know it’s where u gonna excel in

[wary sparrow]

idk abt u but coming from a country that only takes 1-2 admitted students per year for harvard

it's like

impossible

[acoustic granite]

idk if im smart enough for harvard course tho and the talented student body

[wary sparrow]

ppl in my country who go to harvard are legit intl oly kids

gold ibo kids

gold imo

literally

[acoustic granite]

yeah theyre imo and im js emo

[wary sparrow]

LOL

[acoustic granite]

literally

[wary sparrow]

i'm not even emo

😓

[acoustic granite]

u bmo ( adventure time)

[wary sparrow]

more like

gmo

[acoustic granite]

genetic organic ? lol

[wary sparrow]

Genetically Mid Organism

lol

[acoustic granite]

that said ur major is stem related

[bitter path]

I was extremely delulu and didn’t care about how many ppl got in from my country (tho Harvard takes quite a lot) but I constantly told myself

If they like me enough no country quota can stop them, if they dont like me, fuck them, there’s another school that would want me bad enough 🙄 💅

[wary sparrow]

did u get interview

[bitter path]

Not alumni

[wary sparrow]

ao interview?

[bitter path]

Yepp

[wary sparrow]

isn't that a better one

even better than alum interview

[bitter path]

Mine was mostly cuz my educational background is not something my AO ever came across, so they just wanted to talk to me about it

[wary sparrow]

really? that's so interesting

[bitter path]

As to why I did what I did, what was it like, how do i think it can help me at Harvard and how I can help my peers at harvard and etc

[wary sparrow]

that sounds awesome ngl

like they individually approach you for that

your profile must be impressive

[bitter path]

I generally did not speak much about it throughout my app so they probably assumed I wouldn’t speak about it during my interview

Not fully sure why i got it tho

I’ll find out when i read my admission file ig

[bitter path]

Im one of the most basic app on a2c 💀

[grizzled dragon]

Btw did the Harvard acceptance letter have a video this year? Or does that happen every year lol

I’ll manifest one wohoo

[bitter path]

Yepp!!

[wary sparrow]

wtf no way

[grizzled dragon]

Oh perfect

[jaunty umbra]

that’s not how u lose weight

you shouldn’t starve yourself

you should find what your caloric maintainer is and eat blow that

[bitter path]

Omg i wasn’t trying to lose weight, im acc trying to gain weight 💀

[jaunty umbra]

Below

[grizzled dragon]

Wow 🥹🥹

[jaunty umbra]

oh haha

Then that changes things

Dang

[wary sparrow]

try eatingvanilla ice cream with olive oil

maybe you can gain weight faster

[bitter path]

Omggg naraaaa

What was her child’s name

Slim smith

[acoustic granite]

if we both got in harvard ill give a food tour n thats it weigjt gained

[wary sparrow]

lol

freshman 15

[bitter path]

Omggg just saw on yale’s thingy someone mention u got into Princeton

Why are u stressing mate

[wary sparrow]

Honestly idk

[lofty depot]

what should people like me do then 💀

[wary sparrow]

stfu u got oxford

we aren't supposed to be complaining

[bitter path]

We are extremely out of touch

Smh

[lofty depot]

ive explained a 100 times why oxford isn't the most viable option for me but ok

[bitter path]

How much they asking??

[lofty depot]

okay ill stop 🤧

[bitter path]

I cant believe international students gotta pay more than us, the US literally makes everyone pay the same i think

[lofty depot]

3 times what id pay in us 🤧

could be even more actually

if i manage to get a full ride

[lofty depot]

yup US is way more viable for any intl

[wary sparrow]

ik but still

we're very out of touch 😫

[bitter path]

Does ur sister get a full ride

Princeton has the best aid program and if she got one there

[lofty depot]

for princton? yes

[bitter path]

Then u definitely getting one from harvard

[lofty depot]

IF i get in

[bitter path]

You’ll get in 🥱

[lofty depot]

💗

hehe

btw my overthinker brain has a question

so like i submitted my loci a few days back

now on the portal, I clicked on 'miscellaneous' - then 'select file' - then 'Harvard Update (or something i don't remember).pdf - then 'Upload' button- then some loading happened and an additional item appeared on the portal

that's how it's done right? 🙃

and like what if the pdf never got uploaded and they just got a blank update or something? can that happen?

[grizzled dragon]

Wow you really are the definition of an overthinker 😭

[grizzled dragon]

As far as my little knowledge goes, this is how it’s done yeah

[wind coyote]

If I didn't get an interview from Harvard but the other kids in my school did does that mean I didn't get in

[rotund epoch]

There's still time for them to send interview requests. Don't worry.

[jaunty umbra]

fr

i saw appearantly it was good ??? on tiktoj

also @bitter path protein shakes and drinking ur calories >>>>

[spice owl]

interviews happening apparently

2 kids at my school already got them and im just here waiting like

[jaunty umbra]

yeah theyre still happening i got one today

[spice owl]

WE PRAYING THEN

so im from the scranton area and apparently everyone from my rough vicinity applying to harvard is getting an interview from OUR MAYOR

[ashen carbon]

wtf

[tall moat]

Oh dear, I’m afraid u just deleted your entire application

Better luck next time

[jaunty umbra]

nah u got this

im from rural nowhere and still got one

sooo

[shell rain]

does anybody know if people from colorado have gotten interviews?

[tacit rover]

Just got a message about my interview request today 💀

Any tips? Kinda worried

My interviewer is from a different major and stuff but I am interested in their major to have as a minor and stuff

[tall moat]

What I do is I have a memorized answer for tell me about yourself
Then I have all of my ECs at the back of my mind, key moments that I experienced for each one, and what they say about my values/what I gained from those activities
I also have some questions memorized but I’ll adjust them depending on the interviewer’s answers🙏

^ oh, also have 3-5 reasons why u want to go to that college specifically!

[tacit rover]

Oh gotcha, for tell me about yourself, do you tend to describe your ECs or like what you do in your free time or like what

That's probably the hardest question cause you gotta pick

[tall moat]

For me, I say the three fields I’m interested in and the origin story for those interests and allude/refer to some of my ECs so the interviewer has lots of material to ask follow ups for

But I don’t rly describe them yet

[tacit rover]

Would you mention like future goals and stuff as an answer to that too

[tall moat]

Yeah sure

[tacit rover]

Oh ok gotcha, thanks!

Lmao

[tacit rover]

Oh wait also, should I mention my hobbies that aren't related to the fields I'm interested in or is that not really necessary

Like just stuff I do for fun

[tall moat]

yeah def, it can make u seem more relatable

[autumn dock]

So i know Harvard judges applicants based on academics personality athletics and ECs and rates us on a scale of 1-6 in each category with 1 being the best, however what if I haven’t included any athletics in my application, am I auto rejected ?

[tall moat]

No

That category only really matters for athletes

[autumn dock]

Oh good lll

Nice to hear

btw is it okay not to receive an interview request cuz i don’t think there’s active alumni in my county

[tall moat]

yes, but there is a fairly high correlation between getting at least a 2 in 3/4 categories and being accepted

I mean I’ll take as much transparency as I can get, but I def get ur point

Yeah for sure

the only positive I can think of is that their admissions process really is holistic and personality/personal factors mean a lot

Right, I think it shows that stats/ecs don’t paint the entire picture

I mean I personally like that they factor in that intangible rating

[bitter path]

U just get a 4 for athletics if u haven’t done anything

Which is neutral

They dc

[autumn dock]

Ohh coool

[bitter path]

U still should be receiving an interview

Ik most times the alumnis are based in UAE

And do zoom for other gcc countries

[autumn dock]

ohhh shttt I haven’t gotten any

[bitter path]

Ik ppl have received their interviews till like mid march

So dw about it

[autumn dock]

It’s not just Harvard like even Yale UPenn Cornell Columbia I haven’t gotten any for those

Just got one for Princeton

I hope they didn’t pre screen and early reject me …😂

[bitter path]

Im sure they havent if ur academics are up to par

Just give them time

It’s still January

[autumn dock]

tbh idk what they even consider up to par at this point ahaha😅

[autumn dock]

Trueee I hope it ends up well for me 😅

[ashen carbon]

i got a c+ and deferral

“academics not up to par” gets you rejected ea

don’t worry about it

[autumn dock]

Omg niceee

I hope u get in rd!!

[ashen carbon]

tysm

[autumn dock]

ofccc

[jaunty umbra]

remember to present as an actual person

and even if u prepare, not seem very mechanical or robotic

most of my interviews i wanted to learn ab my interviewer's experiences

rather than talk about myself

[ashen carbon]

yeah ofc

[tacit rover]

Oh yeah bet, I'll keep that in mind

[jaunty umbra]

but its good to get a balance on both

[ashen carbon]

hmm

did you ask in the middle of your responses

bc i wanted to ask more but there were like ten minutes left when he asked if i had questions for him

[jaunty umbra]

nah i talked about myself in the begining then the interviewer talked ab their experiences and their experiences were so cool that i just kept asking them about wht they've done

and trying to connect it to why i wanted to go there

[ashen carbon]

dang

[jaunty umbra]

but it felt odd talking about why i wanna go there

[ashen carbon]

yeahh

[jaunty umbra]

idt it matters tho

[ashen carbon]

it’s not a make or break thing unless they shit on you thoroughly jn report

[jaunty umbra]

yeah

my interviewer was super super nice and had a very interesting background tho so i doubt they'd be doing that

[ashen carbon]

i asked about the crimson and my interviewer went into a rant about the printing presses

that was funny

[jaunty umbra]

thats funny haha

[inner otter]

idk if my interviewer really liked me but he wrote atleast 5 pages of notes in a big ol notebook 😭

[ashen carbon]

i still haven’t written my loci

i wonder if it’s worth pointing out specifically to them that i had a c+ in history last year and this year i have an a which is better than I’ve ever done in history

[opal night]

Got a Harvard interview and bro seems like the chillest guy ever I alr love him

[ashen carbon]

damn lucky

[opal night]

I haven’t been following this channel but write ups are due feb 25th

[ashen carbon]

and good luck actually

[opal night]

So still plenty of time

[opal night]

Thank you!

[ashen carbon]

oh and i didn’t fail my math class somehow bruh

[opal night]

Yay!!!

[tall moat]

Mine didn’t use any exclamation marks in his email 😱☹️ it’s over

[ashen carbon]

my pton interviewer sent an automated email

in fucking italics

[tall moat]

Nah that’s crazy 😭😭

[ashen carbon]

she’s female and she referred to herself as an alumnus

im dying

[tall moat]

wait what’s wrong w that 😭

[opal night]

Real asf

[ashen carbon]

that’s not that weird but it is so templated istg

[tall moat]

Ohhh alumna

[ashen carbon]

yeah im sure alumnus is neutral enough

but i’ve always heard “alum” used and she used it later so i have no idea why

[opal night]

My Penn interviewer had his assistant schedule a time w me, then the assistant canceled cause he got a flight…

[ashen carbon]

nooo

[opal night]

Mine said alum

[opal night]

We rescheduled though dw

I was just like wtf

[ashen carbon]

can’t have shit in philadelphia

[opal night]

Bro lives in ca that’s the funny part

Venture capitalists be like

[ashen carbon]

LMAO

[tall moat]

Ew I would reject the interview if I got a finance dude 😭

[ashen carbon]

i’ve gotten two finance dudes

[tall moat]

Loving my author/poet/artist/historian interviewers so far

[ashen carbon]

my harvard one was so sad you could just see his downturn from his college days

[opal night]

So far I’ve gotten a hedge fund cs guy from Stanford, venture capitalist, consultant??? Idk

[ashen carbon]

government major -> law school -> supreme court clerk

[opal night]

I’m a bio and polisci major 💀

[tall moat]

zamn im tryna be like him

[opal night]

Too many finance guys where I live

[opal night]

Dang bro

[ashen carbon]

-> mid-size law firm -> corporate lawyer -> banking legal consultant

[tall moat]

Oh!

[ashen carbon]

there’s a full dark side trajectory holy shit

[tall moat]

Corporate lawyer… that’s a new one I’ve never heard before 😊

[ashen carbon]

but he was nice so i was ok with it

[opal night]

That’s very cool

[opal night]

Is that sarcasm 😭

[tall moat]

Yes 😭 and it’s a path I’m scared of bc I need to avoid being tempted by it

[opal night]

Suits core fr

Class of ‘80 😭 this guy is old

[inner otter]

my interviewer asked me my favorite book and i was at a loss

[opal night]

😭 the way a million not age appropriate books would pop up!

[inner otter]

wtf am i supposed to say 😭 a court of thorns and roses?? i think not

[opal night]

EXACTLY

LOL

[tall moat]

HELP 😭😭

[inner otter]

LITERALLY

[opal night]

No bc if someone asked me that haha…

Gg

[inner otter]

i was like ummm haha

[opal night]

I should come up with a more appropriate answer for that one

[bitter path]

Court of thorns and roses took me out

Byeee

[bitter path]

My go to is always The Book Thief 💀 never read it but been relying on it since day 1 🙏

[inner otter]

LMAO ill have to remember that

[frozen night]

PJO on top

[inner otter]

i literally said the 5th wave because i thought he might like that but no 💀 i cant with this

i tried to deflect but he would not give up

[steady bear]

omg the book thief i had to read that in like 5th grade for school

throwback

[bitter path]

It’s a rlly great book ngl

Shows maturity but not too much, most ppl read it and keeps the conversation going

[fiery crag]

me with penn

[steady bear]

my princeton interview was a finance guy

hedge fund owner

[fiery crag]

oops sorry this is the harvard megathread

but regardless penn interview = finance = bad experience

[steady bear]

bro what

that sucks

[fiery crag]

ill delete it later bc its the wrong megathread

[fiery crag]

i overreacted but the first 2 were sucky

[steady bear]

i think your reaction is just

i would email if that happened to me

[fiery crag]

was he nice at least

[steady bear]

yeah he was my best interviewer so far

[fiery crag]

amazing that's great

[steady bear]

feel like i did the best in there

[fiery crag]

good to hear!!

[steady bear]

my h arvard person was kinda strange

tho

[limpid herald]

only my northwestern interviewer was a finance guy lol

most of them were doctors

like my harvard one was a retired doctor who was now a priest

my rice one was a retired doctor

my haverford one was a doctor and med school prof at columbia

[tall moat]

did they go to harvard med or college? my interviewer is also a doc

[limpid herald]

and my stanford one was a doctor

[limpid herald]

harvard undergrad + yale med school

[tall moat]

zamn

[limpid herald]

im pre law and only my princeton one was a lawyer

my dartmouth one worked in tech

[tall moat]

mine are all ppl I know would make a mean latte and visit the local antique shop

[tacit rover]

yall, is an in person interview better or a virtual one, my interviewer is letting me choose

[limpid herald]

doesnt matter theyre viewed the same

do whatever makes you more comfortable

[tacit rover]

I think I'd be comfortable in both ngl, just curious how people's experiences were with either

[rancid mural]

i would 100% do in-person if you aren't "awkward"

only say that because if you can be outgoing and carry a conversation, body language is so much easier to read

[tacit rover]

oh true

yeah I think I'm leaning towards in person then

[rancid mural]

I don't think they have a preference, but I'm sure that it will last longer if it's in person too which is a plus since they had to take the time to go there.

[radiant sorrel]

gusy I REALLY want to get into harvard

[strange wedge]

Harvard interviews are so bbg

Like my Princeton one gave sand

[timber oriole]

full ride to cornell or go to harvard no aid

[frozen night]

LMAO not again

[timber oriole]

im that genie

[hexed lake]

hi! how do I find the email to which we submit LOCI? harvard doesn't disclose info about regional officers

[vague hemlock]

I've seen you in every channel and im wondering what your financial situation is like because you always seem so surprised when people don't choose harvard so it brings me to the conclusion that you'd rather take a Harvard education over a full ride to a maybe lesser but still very good University which in itself is elitist since many many people don't have the liberty of affording full pay anywhere and a full ride at any t30 is one of the best things you can hope for so I'd kindly request you to first stop spamming and second constrain your elitist thoughts within your own mind
