<p>Seriously. My interviewer rocked. </p>
<p>He said I was OUTSTANDING and that he'd try to write the best recommendation to ensure that I get in. :D</p>
<p>I almost shed a tear during th interview. :(</p>
<p>Congratulations: your violent and scathing temperament must not have flared up during your conversation.</p>
<p>I am only hostile to unworthy creatures.</p>
<p>Lol. Mine lasted 2 Hours and He Said The Same Thing and Then Added: "While I've Interviewed Many Worthy Candidates, It Is Really the Candidates Application That Decide Whether or Not the Student is Accepted, The Most I Can Do Is Report Back That You Would Be A Wonderful Addition to Princeton." From My Friend Whose Mother is An Alumni Interviewer, "The Admissions At Princeton Rarely Will Use the Interview as a Deciding Factor: What It May Do is Slightly Push You Through the Door[From 99% Sure of Acceptance to the Actual 100% Sure of Acceptance"]." Best of Luck Though!!!!</p>
<p>Lol! Yeah, I wish it held more weight. 2 Hours?! Damn. What did you talk about??</p>
<p>My interview rocked, too. I wish they held more weight because my interviewer helped me find a lot of things I do that I didn't put on the app that show Princeton qualities, or whatever. D: Eeeeh.</p>
<p>AY8888- .....Why Do You Capitalize the First Letter of Every Word?</p>
<p>It stands out a little more :p. Lol. My friends mother was half kidding when she said "Princeton doesn't give a .... about the interview." It is really for you to ask questions so that you can learn more about the college. That's what she told me. So i am not sure how much weight it really can do.</p>
<p>lol, ok. :P
My interviewer didn't even tell me how much it was weighted. He just said it was a way for Princeton to find out stuff about me that wasn't on my app so they could select candidates who would create a diverse environment. He was a lawyer so he wanted to "find information with which he could create a good argument for my admission." So... I don't know, haha.</p>
<p>If I had to spend the entire time asking questions it would have been an awkward interview.</p>
<p>My guy...</p>
<p>He was interesting.. He cursed quite a few times, but somehow it made me feel at ease. lol.</p>
<p>He also opened up to me. He told me he used to be an alcoholic and that he has a program that helps recovering alcoholics. I guess he felt as though we had a bond because we both do a lot in our community.</p>
<p>my guy was in the finance industry. my friend got someone who owns Dairy Barn.</p>
<p>my interviewer was the athletic director at another high school who saw the game where my team beat his team in the semifinals :o (we went on to win the state championship) i was afraid he'd be kind of ****ed about that but instead, he was awesome. the fact that i visited princeton REALLY helped because we pulled out a map from one of the books and started going through all the things i loved about princeton (wood woo esp.) i sent an email to say thanks for such a helpful interview and he (like your interviewers) said he tried his hardest to convince pton to take me :) </p>
<p>if only the interviews held more weight....</p>
<p>LOL IM GLAD THEY DON'T HAVE AS MUCH WEIGHT!</p>
<p>because unfortunately, I didn't have such a good interview.. I hate to compare, but my Harvard & Penn interviews were much much stronger. My interviewer is a recent alumn and wasn't very enthusiastic. she was more like "whatever. princenton. Hoorah." I asked her how her experience was and she gave a mediocore, monotone "Great." I was comfortable and everything, my part was fine, she just didn't give me much to go off of because she was so disconnected. And when I asked her about to give her perspective on college life @ princeton and dormlife.. she starts talkin about the parties and goes "yeah, and there's like beer and stuff, so yeah." I was thinkin "what the hell.. i'm seventeen lol, you're not supposed to persuade me to go by telling me there's beer hahahaha.</p>
<p>Oh, and I was dressed in black pants, black dress shoes, and a button-up shirt.. she was in jeans & sneakers and a hoodie. Hair was tassled. She just wasn't really into it I guess... or else wanted to make me more comfortable by being really informal.</p>
<p>I think the alumni interviewers are generally very impressed with the prospective interviewers, as times have changed a lot. My interviewer even told me, "princeton isn't the same as it used t be. I bet today I would get denied instantly. The kids there now are extreme achievers. In my time, you would be a sure thing, but its very hard to say these days."</p>
