<p>by my next door neighbor. I didn't even know she went to princeton >.<. I am kinda worried. I have to go to her house. Anyhow what questions should i expect. i feel really weird right now. I would of never guessed..</p>
<p>Wow.. That's awkward :S</p>
<p>rofl... how well do you know your neighbor?</p>
<p>haha wow gyros.
That's really funny =)</p>
<p>hahah the EXACT same thing happened to me!! not kidding at all. i had no idea my nextdoor neighbor was a princetone grad</p>
<p>honestly, don't sweat the interview. I was real nervous too but when it got started, everthing was really informal and it seemed like more of a chance for me to ask questions than to get grilled.</p>
<p>So should I go all dressed up? I mean i am going to her house... would jeans be appropriate? And how should I prepare for this.</p>
<p>I think pj's would suffice.</p>
<p>pjs? (10 char).</p>
<p>^Pajamas, obvi.</p>
<p>I go to church with my interviewer, but he said that he had to note the fact that we knew each other.</p>
<p>Do all Princeton applicants get called for an interview? Or only those who clearly have the stats to get in?</p>
<p>Hahaha that's really funny gyros. I would be so scared if my neighbor was my interviewer...after all, they have heard me come roaring down the street at 3 in the morning trying to make curfew and such.</p>
<p>I'm sure you'll be fine though, because I'm sure he/she will be professional enough to act as though you didn't know one another. I wouldn't recommend dressing up since you're just going next door, but I think wearing khakis and a collared shirt (like a normal polo, not a button-up) would be fine.</p>
<p>I just had my Princeton interview today. It was totally casual, he asked me how I came to be interested in Princeton, what appealed to me about Princeton, etc. He asked me about my extracurricular activities, academic interests. Just make sure that you know why exactly you want to go to Princeton, and that you can talk about yourself. And also have some good questions for your interviewer, something that you cannot find on the website. I asked questions relating to his personal experience at Princeton. The whole thing was more like a back-and-forth conversation than a formal interview.</p>
<p>Oh, and I think all applicants get called for an interview.</p>
<p>The 6000 or so volunteers on the Schools Committee interview as many applicants as is possible. Last year, they hit 92%, including international applicants, which is a fairly astonishing achievement. If you don't get called, it has nothing to do with with your application. It might be a reflection of few alumni in your area or a lackadaisical local Schools Committee chair. They usually make a push late in the process to get to people who have fallen through the cracks for one reason or another, so just because you don't hear from someone in Jan. or Feb. doesn't mean that you won't get a call. If you haven't heard from someone by mid-Feb., it might be worth giving the AO a call just to express your interest in being interviewed -- they may not be able to find someone in your area to do an interview, but it can't hurt to have a note in your folder saying that you were interested.</p>
<p>consider urself lucky</p>
<p>does anyone know the interview deadline for princeton?</p>
<p>when i was contacted for one my interviewer said princeton wants them done by feb 1</p>
<p>so princeton contacts you right?</p>
<p>Yes. Well, a Princeton alumnus contacts you. I think. Either way, you are contacted by someone. Usually.</p>
<p>Princeton sends you an email with the interviewer's name, who would be contacting you in the next couple of weeks. If you don't hear from the interviewer, you may contact the interviewer...At lease that's what happened with my D. The interviewer called a week later.</p>
