<p>Hi,
I've been hearing a lot of differing opions and claims about alumni interviews. Are they simply a standard part of the application process??</p>
<p>Or are some people (ex. people who the adcom wants to hear more about) called on to do an interview? anyone know general Proportion of applicant pool (ED) who get called for interviews?</p>
<p>also, around when do these interviews occur?? I would imagine before they make decisions, so sometime in November??</p>
<p>Oh,</p>
<p>and do we have to specifically ask for an interview, or does P'ton contact us??</p>
<p>Princeton will contact you. They are a standard part of the admission process, and an interview is not awarded to those they deem particularly 'worthy,' meaning that most people will get an interview.</p>
<p>at an information session the adcom said they managed to interview 95% of applicants last yr</p>
<p>wow, 95%...thats very interesting</p>
<p>From what i've been told at information sessions, Princeton tries to interview everyone it can. If there is a Princeton Alumn in your area doing interviews, you will probably be called for one.</p>
<p>Around what time will it usually be?</p>
<p>sometime after you submit your app...haha so i guess between november 1st and December 15th (if you are going early)</p>
<p>does anyone know if the interviewerd does a "closed book interview" (they dont have your app in front of them, or is the interview "open book"(the interviewr has access to your application)</p>
<p>the interviewer is sent your name, emil address and phone number. that's it.</p>
