Check out the Harvard c/o 2019 applicants thread

Just had an interview at Harvard. I think it went well, but the interview was so nice that I don't think I would have known if it went poorly. I had one question where I stumbled to find an answer, but the interviewer immediately told me it was an unusual question to reassure me. Otherwise, I had solid answers for everything. Is there a rule of thumb to tell if it went well?

Anybody know what percent of interviewed applicants get accepted?

Now I have to wait 3 weeks to hear back. How many interviews does Harvard normally do? I've heard anywhere from 1-3.

First off, don't worry about stumbling on the interview, you'll be all right. No real rule of thumb to know how it was. We're all speculating about the JS1 --> JS2 acceptance rate is the applicants thread, so just go read those posts. Short answer is no one really knows but the earlier JS1s people tend to have a pretty darn good chance.

Not sure where you heard H will do more than one interview, that's not true. Also, you might have to wait more than three weeks to hear back.

TLDR - don't overthink it! Sure you did fine
