Does Princeton’s interview mean anything? Or is it just informational??? I mean do they assign interviews as Yale because they need more info on applicant or smth???
They try to interview everyone (as long as sufficient alumni are available); typically more 90% of applicants are offered interviews. Although the interview is to some degree evaluative, it doesn’t carry as much weight as most other components of the application, and the university says that applicants are not penalized if they do not have an interview.
My son had an interview and the alum mostly talked about himself and asked her just a couple of questions. He was disappointed as it didn’t lend itself too much dialogue. Do you you think that will negatively impact his application?
