<p>I loved talking to my Pton interview. He was cool, we had loads in common and we talked for 3 hours straight. It was a really casual, inspiring and friendly conversation.</p>
<p>I wrote him a thank you email and in his reply he said "please do let me know how the rest of your application season goes"</p>
<p>I assume he must have said that as a courtsey, and would just like to know whether or not Pton accepts me. But I would love to talk to him about other interviews too... I've heard somewhere that interviewers are asked to maintain minimum contact with interviewees, so sending him emails about my interviews would obviously be inappropriate, would it?</p>
<p>I’m a Princeton interviewer, so please take what I’m saying as one man’s opinion and not Princeton’s policy (I don’t know if it has one, and I don’t represent the school in this capacity). </p>
<p>I think that your interview could have meant one of two things. First, they could mean “Let me know if you get in.” We don’t find out about your admissions decisions until AFTER you do, so s/he could be asking for your to e-mail him/her with your result. Alternatively, s/he could be asking you to let them know where you end up regardless. </p>
<p>Either way, there’s nothing wrong with an interview turning into a protoge/mentor relationship, but I would strongly encourage you to attempt to do that AFTER decisions come back. If you do it before, it smells of attempting to somehow get involved or trying to monkey with the decision, and that just looks petty. I’m not sure that you should discuss your other college interviews with your Princeton interviewer while the process is live. After that, whatever happens is up to you two.</p>
<p>PS–nicely done on sending a thank you note–I’ve never gotten one.</p>
<p>I have enjoyed meeting most of the students that I have interviewed. I hope that many will be accepted to Princeton and I am interested in knowing where they decide to go to college. If they are accepted to Princeton I have a new reason to provide more information to the applicant and their parents about the university. If they are not accepted to Princeton I do not contact them; however I am still interested in knowing where this talented student is going to college. </p>
<p>I have never been told to minimize contact with students that I have interviewed. If you are admitted to Princeton I recommend that you email your interviewer with the good news. It is natural that you will have new questions about Princeton such as how do I get there or what are the dorms like. If you are not admitted to Princeton I would email your interviewer after you have decided which university that you will attend. The interviewer can then decide to continue the friendship or not.</p>
