<p>Amusing anecdote from my Princeton interview:</p>
<p>My interviewer was in his late 70’s, so I wasn’t expecting him to be too involved with technology. However, one of the first things he said to me was “I saw on your Facebook that you visited a lot of colleges… how come you didn’t visit Princeton?” (I went on 7 fly ins so my social media was full of pretty campus pictures.) I was taken aback, but I answered the question by saying that traveling to visit colleges that did not offer me financial travel assistance was out of the question currently. He understood, but still it was quite mortifying to be called out like that (and certainly taught me to not make assumptions about interviewers!) Luckily, I was still admitted, but I have a good story to tell about my interview. </p>
