<p>@otter101 Where did you hear December 11? All I see on university websites is mid-December</p>
<p>I wrote an essay that is going to be published in Creative Communication’s book, “Celebrating What is Important to Me” book. Should I email Princeton notifying them of this? Being invited to be published is selective since students have to apply and most are not published.</p>
<p>@hopefulperson If you check the CC thread on Harvard’s SCEA 2019 applicants, they’re all talking about December 11th! But yeah, they do all say mid-December. :-/ Confused. </p>
<p>@hopefulperson @otter101 I commented December 15th earlier because the Harvard senior admissions officer from my area let it slip that date slip. However, I’m not sure if this date has been changed.</p>
<p>I just got an interview notification, in the San Francisco Bay Area
Can anyone give me some tips on responding? Should I address the interviewer by her first name? </p>
<p>@binatang I’d advise addressing your interviewer as Mr. or Mrs. and their last name.</p>
<p>@ScienceDaddy So what exactly is a recruited athlete? Does a recruited walk-on (someone who does not get an LL but would play on the varsity team if they get in) count as a recruited athlete??</p>
<p>@binatang Do not address them by their first name unless they specifically ask you to. Also, use Mr. for a man and Ms. for a woman unless you specifically know she’ s married in which case you can use Mrs.</p>
<p>@binatang generally use Mr. or Ms, but check his or her background in case your interviewer goes by Professor or Dr. </p>
<p>Great point there @mayee107 ! @binatang yeah, make sure you check his/her background</p>
<p>Yes, I would be careful about making sure you use Dr if they are Ph.Ds. It can especially go very wrong if they signed off as Dr. last name and you reply back as Mr. so and so since that shows that you simply assumed he/she was a male without evidence.</p>
<p>Also, I was just wondering if the interviewers also google you to get more information before the meeting …</p>
<p>Oh Christmas be here already! :|</p>
<p>@binatang jealous. I got my interview notification email from the university on the twelfth and still haven’t heard from my interviewer.
@Vbdunk I believe the phrase “recruited walk-on” is self-contradictory. A recruited athlete is one who receives a likely letter or otherwise is directly told by the coach at Princeton (or any other school in question) that they will be admitted. </p>
<p>What is this interview notification email?</p>
<p>Hpclee: an alumnus will email you, but if there aren’t any in your area you might not get one.</p>
<p>I’m really so on edge. Expecting a deferral because of statistics, and it isn’t like I feel like my entire life is hinging on this, but it’s just not knowing!
It’s sad because it feels so out is control. Everything I have is solid and went well, but it’s so difficult to try to stand out. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>@binatang and @ScienceDaddy at least you guys got notifications! Right now, I’ve pretty much accepted that I’m not getting an interview. I’m just hoping for the best in December, but I’m not expecting too much.</p>
<p>“Also, I was just wondering if the interviewers also google you to get more information before the meeting”</p>
<p>Yes…they sure do! Check that FB page!</p>
<p>Hey guys just wanted to say that out of all the Ivy’s early threads out there, Pton’s the most supportive and community-esque. An early thanks for everything and crossing my fingers for you all.</p>
<p>@Opinion559 I hope not. The only results for my name (that dominate both google images, web results and facebook results) is a girl/blogger who is… um… rather vulgar, and the same ethnicity as me (that is we look fairly similar). Hopefully they don’t assume it’s me… </p>
<p>I have heard from many people, though, that adcoms do look up your facebook. As far as I know, it’s a “some do it, but others don’t” sort of thing.</p>
