<p>I got my mock exams at the same time.. so bah!.. God only knows ow m i gonna rite the exams!!</p>

<p>many people dispute how important the interview really is.
I've visited princeton numerous times and I have spoken to quite a few admissions representatives. All of them are willing to say that the main reason the interview is given is to make sure that the applicant is a real person, not just a bunch of great numbers and qualifications. So the most important thing to remember is to just make good conversation (I even cracked a couple jokes) with the representative and try to have a good time. That's really all they want... the rest can be explained by your resume.</p>

<p>For the OHS mistake, the interviewers routinely and purposely do such things to see how you respond to other people's mistakes and awkwardness. Always take it with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>I had an interview and from it a good warm conversation. I guess we can speculate as much as we want on whether the interview is decisive but in the end we all just have to wait and its hard to point to one factor being more decisive over another. Schools like Princeton will want an all-rounder and so the whole application matters and a weakness in one part or another should be balanced by a relative strength in another. In any case, heres to everyone waiting and wishing.
Cheers.</p>

<p>Well said mickeydean!</p>
