College Confidential - View Single Post - Chances skyrocket if parent gets interviewer position?

CyberShot · 01-21-2008, 04:31 AM

Hi, to keep it simple, I have a father who graduated from Princeton ('76). Now, the school has asked him if he would like to begin volunteering as an interviewer for undergraduate applicants in the Bay Area, and he's agreed. Does this mean my chances at Princeton will become much higher, since my dad could just strongly recommend me?

My SAT range is 1850 and my GPA is 3.56 UW, though I'm living in California and my calgrant GPA is 4.00. I'm also African-American and have good EC's, like being involved in a summer program in Ethiopia that helps doctors and nurses take care of and test AIDS patients and playing JV Football and soccer.

Thanks
