Are ppl on this board that post stats mostly top tier students or average applicants?

<p>i went into interviews totally relaxed. I did no practice, read no books. Be yourself and all will come out fine. My Harvard interview came out to be the best one I had because I was relaxed and I talked with my interviewers about whatever (in my case, politics). The school that didnt offer an interview (Stanford) and the one that had a short interview combined with asking me where i applied and if it was my first choice (Columbia) rejected and waitlisted me.</p>

thinkjose1,
I wonder if Princeton asked those alum to interview you because you were on the admissions bubble. Sometimes Harvard asks for second interview for that reason. I suppose it’s even possible that an interview report could have been lost.</p>

<p>When you declined the interviews, Princeton may have assumed you weren’t interested or had something to hide.

</p>

<p>This is a possibility. I didn’t know about this then. :(</p>
