My daughter just came back from her interview today. I don’t know if all of them are like that, but this was by far the toughest. The interviewer went into depth about her passion - dance, current events and why Harvard. She also asked my D if she had applied any where for ED or EA (my D had a very cute answer for that, she said the interviewer’s look was priceless). This was not an informal lets get to know each other interview. My D talked for an hour. She thought it went well, but she was definitely put on the spot a few times. My D thought she was a good interviewer. Her other college interviews were very low key (information about the school). The Harvard interview was very indepth. If you have a particular interest, try to know about it as much as possible. Definitely know why you want to go to Harvard. At the end, the interviewer said to her, “It’s nice to meet someone so passionate about something.”
