Just found out that some students have gotten interview invites already. Anyone on this forum?

Yes I know someone who did the next day(Monday)

This is the time to remind those who panic if they don’t get an interview:

We cannot guarantee that every applicant will receive an interview. This 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.

Got the interview invite. Whew. I know that Princeton matches all interested students who want it for interviews, but it’s still a good feeling to be included.
