Wow just had my harvard interview and damn was it rough. Two individual interviews back to back both like 45 min long. First guy just kept on asking me questions some of which were really crazy ones. Next guy again just asked me questions. Def so diff then my interview at penn or tufts where we just kinda chatted. It was very laid back there, but at harvard it was def a diff atmosphere during the interview.

For people who are interviewin there in the future be prepared.
 
How would you suggest preparing for the interview?

Your sig says you're going to Tufts. What made you believe you'll fail the Harvard interview?

I'm also planning on attending Tufts. Do you think it is as selective as Harvard? I was an electrical engineering/predental undergrad with a overall GPA of 3.4/4.0. Haven't taken the DAT.

Any chance I'll get in?

ultra,
my guess is that he's going to Tufts undergrad.
 
Hi all,

Yes i am an undergrad at Tufts. I think tufts dental is way more easier to get inot then harvard. I think if you have like a 3.3 gpa and 19 DATs your pretty much in at Tufts. For Harvard you're looking at something like 3.6 and 20+ DATs to even get an interview.

I really don't know how you could prepare for the interview except to expect to get lots of questoins asked. The interview was stressful cause I fault like we weren?t really having a conversation but instead it was him just asking me tons of questions. It was one question after another and him sitting there taking notes on what I said. I really didn?t get much time to elaborate on anything like I did at other interviews. It was just a tough interview overall compared to other ones.

What kind of questions did you get? Is it mainly questions from your personal statement and research. Are they traditional or non traditional?
thanks
 
Did they tailor the inteview to you. Meaning that they asked you questions about certain statements you may have made or implied on your personal statement? Or you primary app.

thanks
