Does anyone know if the interviewers read your application before the interview?
For me, they 100% did. The questions were very targeted to what I wrote in my application. There was no time wasted and we jumped right into things and got to the point on every question and matter. They were totally prepared! Good luck...you'll crush it!

They are supposed to. One of my interviewers had read it so thoroughly that they were making extremely unique allegories about my journey, lol.
However, with my second interviewer, it was abundantly clear that they did not read it. This is not the norm, I understand but I am leaving this comment here to let you and future interviewees know to be prepared for the worst, even at Harvard!

Was anyone able to attach a photo of themselves on their secondary app? My secondary app is showing "no photo" on my profile, but I don't know how to add one
I am part of the concise, even pithy, camp when it comes to some of the more straight forward topics. In general, for all my essays, to put it in poetic terms, i was looking for the modest midpoint between a haiku and an epic poem. Using half the character/word limit fits the description for most of my essays.
I can second that both of mine absolutely did. I don't know if they didn't read it in depth enough or if I was too vague in my essays, but I did have to clarify a few things about my experiences - may have been a way to see if I'd stay honest about them but I guess we'll find out in March 😅
has anyone gotten a pre-II R?? Haven't heard of anyone getting them so I'm curious if they have sent any rejections out yet.

Any low LM 70s hear anything. I know it’s a reach 😂

They probably put applicants in buckets based on stats, so for those of us with reach stats they might not review our applications until later in the cycle

LM 73 here and already interviewed
Ya they probably put my 68ish LM application into a dollar store bucket and threw the whole thing into a dumpster
As a fellow applicant with an LM in the 60s, I feel this so much haha

I feel this! Also LM 68ish, so my stats aren’t my strength. Hoping WARS proves to be more accurate[emoji1696]
Stats?

Harvard is not looking that deeply at stats, my friend.

Harvard decides who to interview based upon how many times they refresh their Gmail or SDN. Apparently if you reach a certain benchmark (2000 refreshes in 5 days) an II will magically appear.
Say less time to start neurotically refreshing 😂
Mid 520s, 4.0

what's the earliest date available currently?

30th of Nov, or first week of December
Starts with an orientation at 10am I think, and then you have 2 45 min one on one interviews scheduled sometime after 11am

Still a lot of slots left then. They stop interviewing in January, I think.
Did both already- they were very similar in format. Given their mission, I would be more prepared to talk about research for the HST.

Late to update but II about two weeks ago for pathways. Very small group and seems like they're very serious about making all decisions equally and at the same time so don't stress! They are certainly still rolling out🙂

Seems like lots of spots left in the cycle overall I only saw spots for next week!
I only saw December 6th and 8th available as options.
