<p>My MIT and Harvard interviewers really prodded at me and asked some hard questions to get a picture of who i really was. My Pton interviewer, however, didn't seem to really care. Not much was talked about in the interview that wasnt on my app. Since i know the interview doesn't count for much, i wasnt really intent on telling everything about myself, but it was still a really crappy interview compared to H and MIT.</p>
<p>my pton interviewer did the same thing: asked me why college and why princeton. then he said that he would answer any questions i had. we ended up talking for almost an hour but he kept saying over and over again "this interview is just a formality and doesn't really count towards admission"</p>
<p>yeah my princeton interview was something of a disaster as well. the guy just wasn't interested at all....</p>
<p>thanks for replies guys... is the interview REALLY so meaningless, because I am somewhat considering asking for another one. I don't think it could hurt, could it? Does anyone think that it would be a waste of time? Would it be worth doing it just to show some "extra" interest? Thanks.</p>
<p>there's no need...and there's always the chance that your second interview is equally short/bad or even worse.</p>
<p>yea true haosquared... wouldnt that be funny if those ppl above had the same guy u did blarney stone? lol you should ask em what their interviewers name was</p>
<p>geez your interview was pretty short... although my interviewer was in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUBJECT (Physics... i wanna major in Political SciencE), we somehow managed to integrate our conversation to cover poli sci and physics... and it lasted two hours.</p>
<p>MIne was 15 minutes too, it sounds exactly the same as yours. Maybe princeton just doesn't care about interviews too much.</p>
<p>so is there anyone who thinks that asking for another one could increase my chances at all? i don't really need any more information about the school, i've done enough research... but would the extra interest influence their decision?</p>
<p>I looked at the common data set for Princeton and it said that interviews were only "considered" not "very important" or even "important" factors in gaining admission. So I wouldn't worry at all.</p>
