Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows whether Harvard requires an interview for their admissions process? I've been researching, but I haven't found a definitive answer. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Harvard does not require an interview as part of their admissions process. However, interviews can play an important role in helping the admissions committee understand you better. If an alum interviewer is available in your area, Harvard will try to arrange an interview for you. It's an optional part of the application process, and it's important to remember that not being offered an interview is not an indication of the strength or weakness of your application.
If you do have an opportunity to interview, it's a great chance to share your personal experiences, ask questions, and demonstrate interest in attending Harvard. Just be yourself and prepare a few talking points about your interests, achievements, and aspirations. Good luck!
