<p>I got an email from one of the Harvard admissions officers asking for an interview (I’m in an area where they only interview if they “require more information”) and more surprisingly, for my IB extended essay. I sent it to them, and I am inclined to interpret this as a positive sign, as I assume they wouldn’t bother with me if they didn’t think I was a good applicant.</p>
<p>How positive a sign is it, however? Is this unusual, or do they regularly ask IB students for their extended essays? I never singled out my extended essay on my application. If anything, my counselor may have mentioned that I’m doing it in math, but this would be unusual as, to my knowledge, she’s never even seen it.</p>
<p>Has anyone else been through something similar, and if yes, what happened and why did they ask for it? If not, any thoughts?</p>
