Hi,
I had my Harvard interview this week and fear that I've blown my chances.
Why? I think I was far too wordy and verbose in my answers, instead of being concise, punchy and clear like I know I am usually. There were three or four questions that I have been re-playing over and over in my head that I simply know I didn't answer in the way I could have.
The interviewer only had time for ~10 questions, which I think is indicative of the fact I gave answers that were far too long.
On the plus side, I think I built up a good rapport with my interviewer and came across as fairly confident. I am a UK applicant who is currently working in media (i.e. not a traditional demographic). My essays and recommendations are strong.
It's a painful wait until 30th March and the wait is already driving me mad!
Do you think I have blown it?
Thoughts appreciated! Thanks.
