@hellogoodbye13, mine is doing that too, he lives like 5 minutes away from me though.

@Looshin, my interviewer called me by telephone the day before I got the confirmation. I've gotten no "official" communication beyond that.

I have to concerns though, and I plan on calling them tomorrow:
1)It says neither the Recommendation Letters or Secondary School Report has been received, both were submitted online through Common App before I sent in the application.
2)It says that I submitted the Early Application on Nov 4, even though I really did so on Oct 31. Does anyone think this would be an issue?

@student2407 definitely call them, but the November 4th thing should be fine because I think that just means that they have finished downloading everything and filing everything from your application and the review process has begun. Mine said "submitted October 15th" before and then changed to "submitted November 3rd"

@student2407

The Recommendation/SSR problem is same for me, but earlier on here someone mentioned Harvard was going through the application and supplement first, then those and they just haven't gotten to filing them yet. So I wouldn't worry.
I also submitted on Oct. 31 and it says Nov. 4 but that's just when they downloaded it so don't worry about that either.

(cont) Also I checked on Common App and it says that Harvard has downloaded my Recs and Report. Weird?

I live in California so I'll have to call them durring school tomorrow.

Is it unusual to have an interview with someone who works for Harvard in their office? I did this week, and one of my friends has one with the same interviewer, but our other friend has one with an alumni who doesn't work for the university. We all go to the same school.

Any Canadians here? I'm in Montreal. I haven't been contacted for an interview yet and now I'm wondering if it means I should give up entirely on being admitted. ???

Also, NEC/Harvard dual degree people (if there are any) are you going to send your pre-screening stuff to Harvard as well?

hey guys, so on the application portal where u can see your application status and received materials there is a button on the bottom for "report scores." Does this section need to be filled out? it shows they have received all my offical score reports, but do i still need to fill this out?

Is this a likely letter? Didn't know they did them for EA. *.*

Whaaaaattttttttt

Early Action likely letters are largely reserved for athletes and legacies (not sure about the legacies, almost positive) (and a few exceptional EA applicants) who apply EA.
there are 30,000+ applicants and they only send 300. don't freak out.
