<p>Does Princeton make a conscious effort to match interviewers applicants with interviewers that have the same interests and such? I just received the contact info. of my interviewer, and after looking the individual up online, he is a recent graduate and seems to be my clone in terms of activities/academic interests/his job matches up with my vocational interests.</p>
<p>I doubt they would, but then again my interviewer was a biochem engineer. I'm a science nut, so who knows. I'd have to say, my Princeton interview was probably the best one thus far, and I've had like six.</p>
<p>I think they do. My friends and I all applied from the same region and got different interviewers with interests that seem similar to ours.</p>
<p>lol, I'm a compsci/math guy, and I got a history professor. hmmm...</p>
<p>Maybe it's just in areas of high alumni concentration? There's a particularly high number of alum in my area.</p>
<p>I'm applying as a prospective for Woodrow Wilson and got a science teacher, she does Chem and physics, but her consentration was enviornmnetal science.....</p>
<p>Interview matches are typically made based on geography. Some are based on referrals from the athletic department. Most of the time, there is no other consideration other than geography.</p>
<p>Its just coincidence, the organization that sets up alumni interviews has little to no information regarding the alum interviewers activities/interests. Its just geography.</p>
<p>Same here. I recall someone saying that the interviewer was not given a resume or a list of ECs, so the interviewer practically knows almost nothing about you.</p>
<p>Anyhow, I got a music-based Company CEO/Business Major/EECS (CompSci). Even though I am a huge music fan (I play flute, I have a bajillion song albums on my comp, etc.), I stated NOWHERE on my app that I was one and I wrote all about my interests in biochem and history at some parts. With that said, I really don't think they match up seeing as I got almost complete opposite interests based on what I sent in.</p>
