In this video, I'm sharing the exact strategy I used to go from panicking about my Harvard interview to acing it and eventually helping hundreds of other students do the same. Many students treat these interviews like a scary interrogation, but the secret is to approach them as a genuine conversation about your fit with the school. I walk you through how to build a research document that covers programs and professors so you can move past generic praise and show real interest.
You'll learn how to select your best stories to highlight your values and how to ask specific questions that make your interviewer feel like a mentor. I also break down the difference between informational and evaluative interviews and how to navigate both with confidence. My goal is to help you prepare so thoroughly that you can stop worrying about being perfect and start showing up as your most authentic self.
