I applied an hour before the Harvard regular decision class of 2024 deadline (not sure if the time I applied has got anything to do with what I'm going to ask). I have not received anything from them apart from a confirmation and to apply for financial aid the day after I applied. I live in London, UK so I know there are interviewers available here; but, I have heard that they only interview realistic international applicants and aim to interview all domestic students. As I'm an international student, does this more or less mean that I've been rejected?
I know it's not even mid February but I have also seen many many times that people have been writing that Harvard hold interviews from Jan to mid February for regular decisions. I'm sure they have a rough idea on their decisions now too and seeing that I was one of the last people to submit my application, they have probably seen many exceptional candidates before me.
I'm also aware for internationals it's even harder to be accepted so the likelihood of me getting in was near enough impossible anyway.
Does Harvard really screen their international applicants before interviews? Am I thinking too much into it all? If not, is it safe to assume I've been rejected and if yes, does anyone know when they'll get back to me for interviews?
I should also state I've had my interview for Stanford and would assume they have roughly the same sort of timeline for interview invitations?
