Same location (when I applied)- some people got interviews some didn't. Think its also based on random selection in addition to area.

@Framed: Yeah, I suppose each person can only do a finite number of interviews, so it may get random after that...for example one of my interviews was with someone in a different city over skype, but everyone else is my neighborhood is meeting with another alum physically...but I think they do try their best to make some sort of interview available to every applicant.

Finally got a Princeton interview request! After all the SAT 2 scores mess-up too.
Btw, just curious, is it possible for applicants to cancel it, or it the interview compulsory?

You could cancel it if you are under strenuous avoidable circumstances.

Oh btw, last night ... I got my first acceptance

From my UK safety >_<

Interesting article Cobalt! I realized that most of those things come naturally to people. Nevertheless, it is humbling to be reminded of them once in a while

Haha, I wish I had your optimism Cobalt But it's my safety (and in the UK), so I am not really the most excited right now

@Tizil: Previously you said that 2 of your interviews are done & Cornell, CMU to go.
Does Cornell give interviews to engg. applicants?
And didnt you apply to other IVies?

@Tizil- You don't need to be optimistic to be sure of that And yes, exactly! It's the little drops that make a big ocean
@everyone- Just wondering, how/how much do people prepare for interviews? Or do you just stroll in for a nice, general conversation?
