okay, now have had 2 interviews...
Hamilton--student intern--nice girl; we chatted for ~45 min about my activities, the school environment, what i liked about the school, how college is different from hs, etc...pretty standard...(on campus)
princeton--alumnus, at his house in my hometown--oh, how i love thee...wow...princeton was in my top 3 beforehand, but now it's pretty much #1...he asked a lot about my activities and leadership, and we chatted about the town we live in, and about how our high school had changed (he went to the same one i do!), etc...but then he let me direct the conversation which was awesome, and we talked about how princeton defies the typical Ivy stereotype, and that financial aid can sometimes be "tweaked"...b/c $ is a big concern for me with possibly going there...and we talked about balancing working w/ school and that it's incredibly common at P...all in all, a great interview...hour and a half(!) of just talking, and one of the more intellectual chats i've had recently...great experience!
