College Interviews: Chance or Reward?

Applying to College

<p>So up until this point I thought interviews were given out on an as-available basis. If there was an alumnus nearby who volunteers to give interviews, you would get one. Recently though I watched a move where an applicant said "So glad I got an interview! That's a good sign! They must be serious about me!"</p>

<p>So...</p>

<p>Does getting an interview have anything to do with my application's strength? or rather is it completely irrelevant?</p>

<p>P.S. I got an interview from Princeton, and I want to know if I'm special :D</p>

<p>You may or may not be special, but it isn’t because you got an interview.</p>

If this is a normal source of admissions information for you, then your candidacy is in trouble! What does Princeton itself say? It’s not difficult to find out.</p>
