<p>What’s the best thing that can happen during a princeton interview?</p>
<p>the person writes a good rec for you…duh?</p>
<p>Do the interviewers have to write out a report regarding the interview? Or do they just have a phone chat with the admissions people about how the interview went?</p>
<p>Just wondering if any applicants from Montreal have been contacted for an alumni interview…</p>
<p>I had an interview on Feb 18th and it was AMAZING!
And my interviewer did say she was gonna write a report…</p>
<p>I’m curious. How does the interview work? What sort of questions does the alumnus ask?</p>
<p>Well when I went for mine it was really casual. Just be yourself and learn to talk about a few things about yourself and be passionate and be prepared. If you ask a school official theyll usually let you know the type of questions thatll come up. And thats exactly what will come up. Dont pretend to be something that youre not because no matter how much you prepare you cant lie, you have to practice talking about yourself in a clear manner.</p>
<p>My Princeton interview actually went too well for my liking. In fact, I couldn’t fall asleep that night and couldn’t focus on the AMC the next day.
Before I could even finish explaining all my awards and EC’s, the interviewer just told me that I will get into every single college I applied to. Then he tried to convince me that Princeton students are happier than students at MIT, Harvard, and Yale. He told me that he will write a good report for me, but I would probably get in even if he didn’t. I was already too confident; this ego boost would probably kill me.</p>
<p>^pompous much??? (just kidding…)</p>
<p>In my opinion, the interview is not nearly as important as your application, your scores, and what you’ve done. My Princeton interview did not go too well at all… I was actually really worried afterwards. But then I ended up getting in! So long story short… don’t stress too much over the interview. It’s not a deal breaker; it can only help you. Good luck!</p>
<p>the interview doesn’t really matter…i got in but i did not connect with my interviewer at all, we had completely different interests and it was a very awkward 20 min</p>
<p>For Yale, i thought I had an amazing interview, it lasted 2 hours and we discussed everything from stem cell research ethics to politics. My interviewer really enjoyed the conversation, claiming I was one of the “brightest young minds” she’d seen and thought I would get into Yale, but alas I didn’t get in</p>
<p>A horrible / amazing interview isn’t a deal breaker</p>
