Barring someone saying something extremely inappropriate, Interviews don’t affect admissions one way or the other.

“[the interview] will depend on the availability of alumni in your area. Our dedicated alumni do manage to contact the vast majority of our applicants every year; however, if you do not receive an interview for any reason, it will not put you at a disadvantage since the interview is optional.”
from what im aware of, princeton doesn’t do interviews based on application, just on availability. if youre from an area that has a princeton alum, then youre more likely to get an interview. for example, i haven’t gotten an interview since im from a rural area.
Interesting - thanks - especially since it was virtual and not in person, so location didn’t seem to be a defining criteria.
