<p>Question: Has anyone else been contacted for a Harvard interview from India? I just got an email and am wondering about whether to go.</p>
<p>Harvard interview! Hey fuzzy, do u live in India? I was under the impression that there’s no interviewer over here?</p>
<p>Yeah, which is why I was surprised.</p>
<p>If you’ve been contacted, by all means go. (Though I was under the impression that for Internationals, the onus was on you to contact them) Refusing an interview without a valid reason is the worst thing you can do. They’ll think you’re either a psychopath 
or a person who’s got something to hide.</p>
<p>congrats madman!</p>
<p>@ badman, if you don’t mind, when did you apply to Mich?</p>
<p>@bas007: Congratulations, that’s a proper post :)</p>
<p>congrats fuzzy, you are one of their top choices, that’s why they arranged an interview for u, or maybe coz u r an American citizen…</p>
<p>Harvard weighs interviews comparatively heavily, I’ve heard. Go.</p>
<p>And k_twin – yeah, I won’t be shedding any tears if essays are the most important factor. Mine are unquestionably the strongest part of my app (with the possible exception of test scores, though those aren’t exactly uncommon in Stanford’s applicant pool!). </p>
<p>I just hope that all the ‘gravity gets me down’ and ‘I get lepton at ohm for science puns’ comments will amuse Caltech. :D</p>
<p>@Shrivats: Don’t get me started or I’ll start racing from 136 to 200 (LOL), well that flame had the sole intention of hitting 3000, nothing evil, I assure!</p>
<p>anyone know about Capitol College?</p>
<p>fuzzy, u should frankly tell them that you’ve got in Stanford and the interviewer’d better contact bas007 who loves the winter of Cambridge, MA…</p>
<p>Congrats badman; I’m pretty sure quite a few people here applied to Michigan; Shrivats and I did as well (we haven’t heard back yet);</p>
<p>I went for a more, direct engagement of the reader in my essays, more personal and contemplative, less humourous, except for my 217 and Hopkins essays where I went just a little crazy :D</p>
<p>I applied to Mich the same day as all the other colleges (Dec. 30th).
Good luck to both of you.</p>
<p>badman are you self funded?</p>
<p>Congratulations badman89!</p>
<p>Now, we’ve got 2 TiT’ers into UMich.</p>
<p>hey badman just wanted to have a look at your profile, is it posted somewhere?</p>
<p>Lakshya M, who else got into UMich?</p>
<p>ajayc, yes I’m self funded; what exactly do you mean by my profile?</p>
<p>I think ajayc’s talking about your stats.</p>
<p>I think he means SATs/extracurriculars/grades/etc.</p>
<p>k_twin: I went crazy on all of mine. No exceptions. 'Twas merely the degree of crazy that varied. </p>
<p>As an example:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Er, yeah. At least I can give admissions officers a good, healthy dose of ‘what the heck’.</p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 2130 (700 + 710 + 720)
SAT Subjects: Math level2: 800, PHysics: 800, Chem: 780
Class rank: top 10%
above avg. ECs
Very good recs
good essays</p>
<p>@badman89: inshallah also got into UMich.</p>
<p>@Noldo: It’s pretty funny, it reminds me of a dude from my class who cracks these sort of jokes.</p>
