Interviews

<p>What were your interviews/interviewers like? & do you have any tips/suggestions?</p>

<p>My interviewer (had it today) was very nice and friendly. It seems like the only questions that everyone are getting is -why Princeton and -what do you think about getting rid of ED. But my interviewer was very relaxed and nice, it felt just like a normal conversation, nothing was forced and it flowed really well. The first thing she said to me was "just remember that this can only help you," and I think she's right. Just be yourself, as cliche as it sounds, I think its the best way to handle these interviews.</p>

<p>I had my interview today as well. It went really well, and the interviewer was a very nice guy. He asked me the ED question, and what can you add to your application. Otherwise, he asked me to ask him some questions, and we talked for about an hour. Just be yourself, dont try to project yourself to be someone you clearly arent.</p>

<p>I have my interview in a few days, and just thought of a question...when I'm talking about my ECs, etc., do you think it's better to try to touch on all/most of them, or to just talk about a couple in detail? I was thinking the second choice is better, but would love to hear some of your opinions!</p>

<p>i have mine this weekend or next week. id go with the 2nd choice, btlesgirl</p>

<p>The interview was fun.
Just relax and enjoy it.</p>

<p>ya, i really look forward to mine :)</p>

<p>My interviewer was really cool. He was a bit older, but he had the most fascinating stories (like how he did his senior thesis in a mental hospital, meeting James Watson of Watson & Crick and separating DNA, meeting Buzz Aldrin while in the Air Force). It was really casual and I had a great time. It was a bit harder to ask questions about his experience just knowing that things would've changed a lot, but he did give me some insights into the Eating Clubs and stuff. Just be yourself and it'll go quite well I'm sure!</p>

<p>And btlesgirl, about the ECs, I actually was planning on telling all of them, but as I was describing an EC he would add stuff in and the conversation would change, and we ended up only talking about like 3 of mine in detail. So I would suggest the latter, actually, because it gives the interviewer more information to go off of and allows the conversation to have a bit more content.</p>

<p>thanks, everyone! this is very helpful, though i still haven't got any interview notification...T_T</p>
