They may have been referring to Harvard Business School's MBA program or to Harvard Law School admissions.
Neither does interviews. But the undergrad interviews mean nothing
Hey all, to those that continue to say that undergrad interviews mean nothing...I strongly encourage you just decline the invitation to interview when your kid is invited to do so from a Top 10 school alum.
Let us know how it goes with acceptances.

A lot of people don’t know what they’re talking about on this thread. OP, don’t worry. It’s a massive logistical effort and this year they required all interviewers to be re-trained post-pandemic, which probably limited the number of available interviewers somewhat. Assignment of interviewers comes down to logistical issues like location and number of interviewers in VA vs MD vs DC.

Interviews are more about alumni engagement than actually interviewing the students. There is zero vetting and almost no guidance, just a meet and greet and a blurb from interviewer
It may also be a yield protection — hearing some wax poetic about Cambridge Square and how the Harvard statue isn’t of the founder, May incline an waffling accepted student to matriculate.

Has everything to do with availability of interviewers.
The people organizing the regional interviews have zero intel on your application. None at all. Don't give it one more second of thought.
This poster didn’t read the old Harvard admission guidelines released in the lawsuit.
In the Harvard case the alumni interviewers gave the same rating to Asian American students as they did to white students. It’s in Wikipedia

It's possible there aren't interviewers available. Just looking at the stats, it's a bad sign if you apply at all. Assume an R, so you'll either confirm your guess or be pleasantly surprised.
