[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard tries to offer an interview to every applicant and as pp’s stated it’s dependent on alum availability. Strength of applicant doesn’t determine timing or offer. [/quote]

[b]NP-I can't go into detail bc I am intimately involved in this process, but, the two biggest misnomers on the internet are "harvard interviews all applicants" and "interviews don't matter, only a bad one matters"

BOTH patently wrong. There is a "cut" for interviewees and interviews carry a good amount of weight. That's all I will say.[/quote][/b]

Wrong.  Almost all applicants get an alumni interview, and they mean nothing.  I know friends who have done this and have said their recommendations have resulted in ZERO students being accepted.  https://www.businessinsider.com/ex-harvard-interviewer-shares-the-questions-she-typically-asked-in-the-interview-2016-10#-1[/quote]

My dh is an alumni interviewer.  They definitely try to give every applicant an interview.  Also, the interviewer has no information about the applicant’s grades, test scores. etc . .  .
