Hi all, I applied to Princeton…I received an email appox one week ago, from a Princeton alumni saying they would like to interview me (by phone, am international), so i could ask questions about princteon, and i could have a chance to present myself in a way i couldnt do with my application bla bla bla…at first i obviously got a bit stressed and nervous about it and all…but it went well…

Now Im thinking, wasn’t this a bit late to do such an interview? I called Harvard for some other reason yesterday, and through the conversation I was told that all decisions were made one week ago, and that the process has been closed and all admission officers are not in the office (wanted to speak to the one who dealed with my case).

So I’m suddenly thinking, why on earth would Princteon want to have a phone interview with me so late? When decisions may have already been made (at least Harvard has)…wouldn’t they have done that like, in January or February…not on the 20th of March?

So Im like (obviously) trying to think that, I was accepted already, and since I can’t visit the place, they wanted to give me a chance to ask about Princeton …the interviewer seemed to be pressing me to ask more and more questions about Princeton (read the disclaimer)…so yeah, I’m suddenly all excited, coz it seems weird that they would give me a phone interview so late…and wanting to believe i was accepted already…

God I wish thats true…

Would love to know your thoughts on the matter, what do you think?

THANKS!

And good luck to all waiting, I know what you are feeling…oh yes I know…
