Official Princeton University RD Class of 2017 Thread!

<p>@luv2dance1995 - Does the “Arts supplement” show up on your application status page?? or does it only show on the arts supplement portal??</p>

<p>I submitted mine a bit late ( on 8th Jan - online) and though I got the automated mail from Pton, there hasn’t been any other kind of notification!! </p>

<p>Also, I just noticed a Princeton class of 2017 decisions portal below the applicant status login!! Is that something new? :smiley: or was it there from the start??</p>

<p>i’ve done a few interviews, so i’ll give my opinion</p>

<ol>
<li>don’t order food. it will be awkward to try and talk and eat, and your interviewer will almost certainly not have food</li>
<li>if you get there before the interviewer and order, get whatever you want</li>
<li>if your interviewer sees you order, consider your beverage more carefully. all 3 interviews i had, i ordered some generic coffee, burned my tongue pretending to drink it, and threw away the full cup at the end. lol.</li>
</ol>

<p>@rishav; i don’t see it :\ link?</p>

<p>@rishav my application portal doesn’t say anything concerning my arts supplement. and I don’t see a decision link either…</p>

<p>Ohh - My bad!! It’s on the page before the application status log in page!! Found it after I redirected from the arts supplement link posted by luvdance1995. Here it is :-</p>

<p><a href=“https://admissionapp.princeton.edu/uarcd/[/url]”>https://admissionapp.princeton.edu/uarcd/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Its the last option and shows an error message when you try to log in!! (pretty obvious). :slight_smile:
But I guess that is where we will get to check our decisions!! </p>

<p>@luvdance1995 - So, does it mean that my arts supplement will mostly be considered??</p>

<p>guizeeeeeeeee I got my interview! yay! should happen in the next week or so.</p>

<p>ha you guys are looking way too into the interview! just relax, youll do great. i havent interviewed with princeton yet, but i just had my brown one today and the best thing to do is show that youre interested in the interviewer and theyll do the same. i also had an interview with barnard in november. another interviewee today said their MIT interviewer showed up in sweats, so that just goes to show that these alumni are busy people that are not inspecting you with a fine-tooth comb.
you dont have to be particular about your drink or anything, but dont order food, that is awkward. you dont have to pretend to be “adult” by drinking dark coffee, both of my interviews were drinking chai.</p>

<p>Have my interview on Tuesday. Really nervous, especially after my crappy Harvard interview. Princeton is an uber reach anyway, so we will see what happens.</p>

<p>I just had my interview. it was nice. I didnt really get much in (I was waiting for him to ask more about my ECs so I could elaborate but he didn’t) but he still seemed really impressed lol. i have harvahd next monday</p>

<p>I didn’t think my interviewer was really impressed. He was surprised at a quiet unusual obstacle I’ve gone through and that I overcame the hardship. He was very nice and the conversation went very smoothly, but the only setback was, that he was a graduate student from Princeton. Every question I asked about Pton was mostly about undergraduate experience, so he couldn’t answer a single one which made the situation awkward. Overall, I think interviews have very,very little influence on the admission decision unless one screws them up.</p>

<p>My interview was yesterday and I thought it was much better (aka I was more coherent) than my Harvard one. The guy was super nice and it was more of a conversation than just him asking me questions. Just relax and you all will be fine :)</p>

<p>My harvard interviewer had no official question. The only one would be the motivation behind my interest in the intended major whereas Pton interviewer asked me how I got to know Pton and why applied. I thought my pton interview went better than harvard’s but they were both pretty good.</p>

<p>Glad everyone is having great interviews!</p>

<p>@luv2dance1995, I can explain why. People at Princeton have social skills and know how to interact with people. At Harvard … eh.</p>

<p>When is the latest time possible to get contacted for an interview? I live in MD and still haven’t got mine.</p>

<p>Did any one in California South Bay area have the interview done? I live in San Jose and still haven’t been contacted.</p>

<p>I thought Princeton would be able to offer interviews to everyone, I guess not.</p>

<p>My Princeton interview was terrible. The guy cut me off while I tried speaking and the only things he asked me were “what AP classes have you taken” and “what other schools did you apply to and why?”. The rest of the time he kept emphasizing that Princeton is very unique but isn’t necessarily for everyone. Seems like he was actually trying to steer me away from it tbh</p>

<p>Did anyone else apply to Princeton as more of a pipe dream than anything? Like with my stats I really don’t think I have a real shot at admission</p>

<p>@william, I don’t reaaally know why I applied. I got some mail from them and my dad suggested it (he wants me to end up somewhere with good finaid!). </p>

<p>My interview was this past week, and it was totally forgettable. He graduated in '68, and we just didn’t have much in common. The questions he asked were vague enough that I apparently got off-base on my answers, and when I would try to talk about something that interested me, he would let me go on a bit and then explain it to me with the superior wisdom he’d gathered over the years that he was alive and I wasn’t. </p>

<p>I just wasn’t expecting it, because it was SO different from my Brown interview, which was a really wonderful conversation about all sorts of things. Welp… Glad they don’t count for much in the application.</p>
