<p>Incorrect. Princeton tries to interview everyone. They are randomly assigned. From the zero-chancer to the shoo in. However, by sheer volume of apps, not everyone will be given one. Nor will it negatively affect one’s evaluation if no interview occurs.</p>
<p>I’m currently working on recording my piano arts supplement! It will all be over soon. So will we get an email from Princeton about interviews?</p>
<p>Applicants get interviews based on how many people volunteer in the area. Totally independent of competitiveness</p>
<p>When I was agreeing with waddupwaddup I meant that Princeton is the one who contacts you for an interview and you don’t have to sign up for one yourself, not that they only interview you if they “like” you.</p>
<p>@Mocean I didn’t title any of my essays either.</p>
<p>Does anyone know a thing or two about how to submit a creative writing arts supplement? I can’t figure out what to do. It’s prompting me to pick one of four categories, but I have pieces that fit in three of them!</p>
<p>You can submit three different arts supplements, one for each type of writing. If all three are equally strong, why not? Somebody correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>Speaking of interviews, has anyone gotten an interview offer yet?</p>
<p>Dude, the deadline hasn’t even passed yet</p>
<p>Mocean: the nature of alum interview scheduling is mercurial – some will receive interview requests, some won’t – depending on the # of alumni volunteers in your area. Have some people been contacted? YES. </p>
<p>But that has no bearing on your eventual interview/no interview.</p>
<p>Since the interview isn’t mandatory, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s (rightfully) the smallest portion of your file anyway.</p>
<p>The interview is more about the alum pitching Princeton to you than the other way around.</p>
<p>What majors have you guys applied for?</p>
<p>I did:
1st choice major: Molecular Biology
2nd choice major: Anthropology
1st choice certificate: Near Eastern Studies
2nd choice certificate: Quantitative Biology (or something like that)</p>
<p>As for me:</p>
<p>Majors
<p>Certificates
<p>1st choice major: Physics
2nd choice major: Math
1st choice certificate: music performance
2nd choice certificate: language and culture</p>
<p>I’m so surprised. I thought I was going to be freaking out about Princeton, but so far I am pretty calm. Whatever happens happens I guess…</p>
<p>Majors: math and molecular bio. Minors: quantitative biology and biophysics.</p>
<p>Majors: Woodrow Wilson, anthropology
Certificates: Values and public life, translation</p>
<p>Majors: Physics, Astrophysical Sciences
Certificates: Applied and Computational Mathematics, Creative Writing</p>
<p>Majors: Mathematics and Music
Certificate: Music performance and Statistics/Machine Leaning</p>
<p>Do major choices influence one’s chance of admission?</p>
<p>They can help if you pick a major that is related to your activities you did in high school. Like… If you won national math competitions and wanted to major in mathematics, that’d make sense and the adcoms would recognize that. If you put down Slavic languages or something and you’ve done nothing related to it, then it may hurt I suppose, but generally just be truthful about your interests and it won’t hurt.</p>
