<p>Hello!</p>
<p>For the last few years, I have been programming in and out of school and have developed a few projects and games. I have my Princeton Alumni interview tomorrow and was wondering if it would be a good idea to bring my laptop so I can show him my games / website resume if he would like to see them.</p>
<p>Should I bring it just in case or should I ask him first?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>The interviews are really about having an interactive discussion so that the interviewer can get some additional perspective on who you are as a person. A “show and tell” session on your computer detracts from that. You could bring it along in your backpack just in case he really, really wants to see something, but you should not push it.</p>
<p>And don’t ask ahead of time. If he says yes that essentially makes the interview about your apps and websites. If he says no it just sets the interview up to be somewhat awkward because he turned down your request.</p>
<p>As above poster said, bring it but don’t expect to show him. One interview I had before, the interviewer didn’t even want to know my grades/test scores/resume at all. He said the purpose of the interview was to “bring the 2D application into a 3D”.</p>
