<p>Is the Princeton interview the "average" interview? Have you encountered any unique questions?</p>
<p>Personally, I was asked what I DID NOT like about a school and that stumped me up, so I don't want to mess up again. Thanks!</p>
<p>Haha...I couldn't answer that about Princeton. There's nothing not to like ;)</p>
<p>My interview was rather a normal conversation - the guy was really kewl, just common stuff - activities, why this major...</p>
<p>The guy asked something along the lines of: Have you ever been in a situation where you had to make a moral judgment, or faced with a moral issue and forced to make a decision.</p>
<p>That was pretty tough, but I gave a good answer. Besides that my interviewer was pretty cool and conentrated on the social life and parties at Princeton, and how he used to travel around to attend punk/hardcore fests, "...it was a-w-e-s-o-m-e..." he said</p>
<p>I'm back from my interview and it was awesome! In case anyone is curious, I basically highlighted some of the important parts of my application, expanding on what I had actually written. We also talked about Princeton itself and how we both love it. We didn't have too much in common in terms of hobbies, so I just talked a lot about what I love and acted like myself. I don't have any annoying habit, lol, or anything, so being myself was the right thing to do.</p>
<p>hey guys, glad your interviews went great : ).</p>
<p>Do you know if your interviewer's gone through your application? How much do they know about you? Will they quiz you on what you put down for your favorite ____ section?</p>
<p>Thanks for anything!</p>
<p>Mea - I think interviewers are given a small background update, probably your interests and extra curricular activities. Just enough for them to get a conversation started.</p>
<p>Tips?
*When you're asked about X or Y - elaborate, give a good answer that is more than just a few sentences. Then relate it to the school and WHY you think you're a good fit for Princeton.
* Ask well thought questions, details that show you've read more than just the view book is good. Specific questions that relate to your interests are impressive
* Be yourself, seriously.
* Smile :rolleyes:</p>
<p>thanks gianievve for your answer : ).</p>
<p>No problem yz16.</p>
<p>Although it's a bit dated (2001), and perhaps isn't even in use anymore, these</a> interview guidlines for alumni can be helpful for you just to see the general interview layout and some possible questions you may be asked. Good luck, and don't stress. ;)</p>
<p>My interviewer showed me the form he had to fill out. It just had two questions and lots of room to write. One question was about any extenuating circumstances or unique experiences. The other gives the interviewer a blank page to write about their impressions of you and whether or not you could succeed at the university. He said they used to give out forms similar to teacher rec forms with tons of little boxes for him to check, but they feel that this new form is more subjective.</p>
<p>lucky people. i haven't even heard from them yet.</p>
<p>what questions did u ask at ure interview?</p>
<p>Kaitlin, you're alive</p>
<p>yep, i went skiing this weekend for the firsttiem , it was an interesting experience, and i cam e home to call from the interviewer at princeotn, but i dont really have that many wuestions to ask so im not posting as much...</p>
<p>that would be cool if my interviewer was arab. too bad it will probably be jim macwilliams, class of 1954......some people should know who that is....haha</p>
<p>At least you guys have gotten called for an interview.</p>
<p>yes, thank you gianievve! That link you provided is excellent.</p>
<p>Quick question...Does everyone recieve an interview? Or are they provided only for those students who Princeton is really interested in?</p>
<p>noelB05,
somebody said it's not that everyone is interviewed.
i also wonder how Princeton decides whom to interview.
any ideas??</p>
<p>I really. Don't know, but common sense makes me believe that they would send you an interview if they weren't the least bit interested in you. But I'm sure not getting one doesn't mean your not in. (There may not be someone in your area.)</p>
