@jea345 I emailed my interviewer back, and then I kinda… looked her up on my college’s faculty search and found her resume. It’s kinda intimidating. Depending on who your interviewer is, you should able to find them on a college’s faculty search(if they’re a college professor, that is). But yeah, the lady that’s interviewing me has a website and everything, so that’s how I found it out.
Chances nonexistent, but that’s alright. It’s a massive long-shot and I know it. Wasn’t focused on my grades, put a ridiculous amount of time and effort in my job.

Your test scores are really good, and your GPA is a little on the low side for Princeton, but your commitment to one activity-your job-shows how committed you can be with activities that you’re passionate about. I don’t know if the 6 recs is a little overkill; unless each of them are extremely good and can speak about each aspect of your character and your perseverance, then I don’t know if the 6 recs would give you a leg up in the process. You also have good volunteering efforts, so I think that you have a chance.
Disclaimer: I am not an admission officer or current Princeton student, I’m just another Princeton applicant like you. Good luck!
Did anyone get invited to interview at Princeton? @yayforapples @skyfall007 ?
I’m in the Triangle area of North Carolina and I didn’t get an interview request yet.
My S applied late Friday night and received an email about alumni interview on Tuesday afternoon. They move fast. Gentleman who will be conducting interview has a long list of patents, many of which are being used in industry throughout the world. Should be a fun and enlightening interview.
@Anisqoyo That’s great! Wishing your S the best of luck!
Yes @maddy09 , I got an interview, and it’s scheduled for next Monday. I’m kind of nervous but also really excited.
I’m in Florida, by the way.
anyone wanna make a prospective student SCEA snap group? lol just for fun
I have an interview on Tuesday! Best of luck.
hahaha let’s do it!
@hitrowboat I am also in the Triangle Area! Did you get the interview yet? I got an email yesterday from a lady in Raleigh.
I finished my interview a few days ago! It was actually really fun, ask me any questions 
Hey guys, I received an email from the Uni, but I haven’t heard from my alum interviewer to fix up an interview, should I write to the him ? What do you suggest?
I just completed my interview yesterday! I loved it, my interviewer was so nice. If you have any questions, ask me!
Wait for about a day(it might take some time for them to contact you because they may be busy professors), and if you don’t hear from your interviewer in a day, then you can reach out and make contact with them. At least in my case, I didn’t have to contact them first, they emailed me.
I still haven’t gotten an interview email, should I be concerned? I’m in the DC area
I’m not sure, I think that if you’re in a bigger area you shouldn’t be worried because there’s probably more applicants in bigger cities(I live in a small college town) so don’t panic if you haven’t gotten an email yet.
