Harvard phone interview Forum

Does Harvard interview all candidates who are eventually admitted (can you be admitted without receiving a phone interview), or does it only interview borderline candidates?

What do people usually talk about during this phone interview, and what are some pitfalls to avoid?

You have to have a JR1 (phone interview) to get the JR2 (phone call acceptance). There have been no exceptions as far as I am aware.

So yes, all admitted students are interviewed.

What does JR1 mean?

It's the initial phone interview. Everyone being seriously considered for admission to Harvard gets one. The odds of getting an acceptance without getting a JR1 are extraordinarily low, to the point that I don't think it would ever happen except in extremely unusual circumstances.
