<p>Yes it is inappropriate, Shurik!! Don't do it!</p>
<p>Just as I thought...
Still, they say that they want to get to know the real you... So wouldn't that be one good way of getting to know me, if I have nothing to hide? Hmmm...</p>
<p>don't;
do write a thank you note</p>
<p>Wouldn't a thank you e-mail be a little too much? If I were an interviewer I might consider the kid a suck-up...</p>
<p>^ Or maybe if you don't, they may think that you don't care? Hm. I don't know. Do what you feel is best. :)</p>
<p>I always thought it was part of the routine; I interview for another college and I get thank you letters from most students I interview/while I don't hold it against them if they don't send one, I think it is a nice gesture and it seems like most students do this-won't sway either way, however.</p>
<p>I don't think my son ever got contacted for an interview?</p>

<p>You should have done your thanking in person; it's much more genuine that way. But if you do get accepted to Princeton, definitely let your interviewer know. Perhaps he will hook you up with some people based on your interests.</p>
<p>I would write a thank you note, I have written them for all of my interviews. Its a nice gesture and it can't hurt!</p>
<p>My interviewer wrote me a thank you note :)</p>
<p>^ pwnage ... 10char</p>
<p>If my interviewer said "I really hope to see you at a Princeton alumni event someday", was he just being nice?</p>
<p>If I didn’t write a thank you note to my interviewer, would that look rude? I thought if I wrote a thank you note it would seem like I was just trying to suck-up to him, so I didn’t actually write thank you notes to any of them…</p>
<p>i didn’t write one to some of mine (some b/c I didn’t have their contact info) and I really regret it, so I’m writing one from now on</p>
<p>refrig- The idea of writing a thank you note is to acknowledge that the interviewer gave you some of his/her valuable time and attention and that you, of course, felt gratitude for such a gift. </p>
<p>Expressing appreciation is never sucking up, it is simple human kindness (and common courtesy.) </p>
<p>Interviewers will certainly notice who expressed thanks and who did not. If you do not have a personal address, you can always send the note to the college admissions office, and ask that they forward it to your interviewer.</p>
<p>^ You’re right. Sending a thank you note does seem like a good way to show that I appreciated the time they took out for my interview. After reading the posts on here, I decided to send notes to my most recent interviewers. I had their emails because that’s how we got in touch, so I sent them a message expressing my thanks. Even though I was sending them in kind of late, it was better than not saying anything at all. And I agree, it didn’t actually feel like I was being a suck up when I sent them the emails.</p>
<p>I just had my interview.
The alumnus asked very sharp questions that were, for me, very difficult to turn around and respond in time. I don’t know if he was impressed, but I was quite intimidated at the time. compared to past interviews, this was definitely a difficult one.
However he offered to pay for my drink at the end =) which was very nice.</p>
<p>I just got a interview invite… from an alumnus’ assistant…
I’m really intimidated now, esp. because of the post ^</p>
<p>Any tips from some seasoned interviewees?
xD</p>
<p>Definitely write a thank you note.</p>
<p>My relative is an inteviewer and she was telling me about how none of the students she’s interviewed this year have sent a note (she does interviews at her home, so not having the address isnt an excuse). She was really ticked off and warned me that they take note of these things. I don’t know if she meant that she includes that in the writeup sent to the school, but I wouldn’t risk it…</p>
<p>bump <10 char> my princeton interview was a whileback. informative/evaluative. guy was a young person. princeton undergrad and top law school now working for the government living off of the wonderful American taxpayer. amazing guy. really prepared. really could tell the difference between interviewers who prepare and who dont.</p>
<p>like he wanted to till me as much as he possibly could.</p>
<p>1 Tip: if you go to a restaurtant/coffehouse/anything, make you knw the menu beforehand. and choose a drink (food is crunchy, and you cant speak while you eat very politely). make sure the drink is something you can drink throughout and you like it and at the same time only $2-3 because the interviewer will probably be buying it for u.</p>
