  • First step: Get the SnarkStrategies Guide to Interviewing. It includes detailed guidance and prep instructions for all schools and all types of interviews – including Harvard.

  • Next: PRACTICE! The strategy guide tells you how. This involves knowing what type of interview you’re doing, then preparing your material according to the correct strategies for that interview scenario – then practicing your delivery with a friend. Then doing it again. You NEED to practice.

  • If you’re interviewing at Harvard – lucky you! You need to prepare in a special way EssaySnark can help by developing a custom list of questions for you to practice from. Or, if you’re interviewing at LBS, NYU, or MIT, you’ll want to use the same resource.
