Really happy to be accepted, but didn't realize there was more to the financial aid app than the FAFSA. Hope there's something left--I do have to say I was disappointed with the level of communication throughout the process.

Congrats to those who've got Harvard interviews. Would you be in a position to explain what 'medium short list' means? Are selection interviews mandatory (the grad website seems to suggest otherwise) and is there a possibility that mails are sent out in phases to different candidates, or should one construe the absence of an interview to mean the worst...? Thanks in advance!
