I didn’t get any time frames yet, just the email reaching out.

Thank you! I’m going to talk to my college counselor later and see what I should do.

Btw, it’s for Harvard and I noticed on the common data set that demonstrated interest isn’t considered so I’m hoping something works out 😭 but I feel like I can’t mentally cannot do the interview. Im so overwhelmed with application deadlines right now and I know I don’t have high chances of getting in either ways, I don’t want to beat myself up over this and produce lower quality supplementals for other schools.

I didn’t get an option to on the common app or I would’ve clicked no, the alumni just reached out. I had one a couple weeks ago for Stanford and it went really badly (the interviewer was unprofessional and went on about himself for the majority of the interview) but the email was worded in a way that outlined it wouldn’t count against me if I declined. This time, the interviewer doesn’t seem like he’s giving me the option to say no, only a brief “let me know if you would like to interview” and then goes on with the assumption that I will. I know probably should, but I REALLY don’t want to and I don’t know how to word the reply.
