<p>My Princeton interview is tomorrow. I am hyperventilating.
I don't know what questions to expect or how to answer them
I am suffering mortal agony. Please help!</p>
<p>talk to the interviewer as if he or she's ur friend or something...and remember to be tactful. thats abt all i can say - dont push urself but be lively and brisk. i guess that makes the difference. Cheerfulness makes a helluva lotta dif. to the interviewer. Good luck! I 'd be dead confident if i were u! btw there are princeton grads in calcutta?</p>
<p>the us consul general is an alumnus</p>
<p>interviews hold very LITTLE weight,if at all, in the admission process. Be prepared for this question, though...</p>
<p>"Why Princeton?" or more sneaky variations.. "What do you look for in a college?" or "How did you fall in love/get exposed to Princeton?"</p>
<p>don't be nervous. if you know his or her child, talk about him/her because taht'll get you brownie points..</p>
<p>that is ok
my why princeton will run into hours</p>
<p>anybody have experience with the houston area interviewer?</p>
<p>I'm not sure about Princeton, but there tends to be several interviewers for each area. I know Brown and Yale have at least two interviewers in Westchester, NY. By the way, callthecops, what do you mean by "brisk"?</p>
<p>I was interviewed in Houston.</p>
<p>yay! My interview was good :)</p>
<p>Awesomnessity. Did they give you your acceptance letter right then and there? :p Congrats.</p>
<p>how rude
no I was really nervous and thought I'd get really tongue tied and say stupid stuff
But I didnt and my interviewer was very friendly (even though the building security reallly freaked me out)
So yeah it was good :)</p>
<p>how rude? lol. e-props for sucky building security (i actually have no idea what you were talking about, so I'm stabbing in the dark here)</p>
<p>did any of your interviewers bring yearbooks? that was probably the most unexpected and pleasing part of my interview. I'd almost forgotten that colleges do yearbooks, hehe.</p>
<p>yeah sucky building security because the interview was in the American Consulate here and they are scared of terrorist attacks. (I obviously fit their image of one at any rate)
Bu the guy had a cool office
and no he did not have a yearbook
dont talk about yearbooks. our high school one really sucks. there's one kid whose pic they didn't have so they put a drawing of a cow instead on her page. Accident? I don't think so!!!</p>
<p>BWAHAHAHA! Oh wow. That just made my winter break...<em>wipes tears from eyes</em> I'm going to do that for our yearbook...</p>
<p>And the American Consulate?! Lol. Makes the Student Union at Baylor U downright shabby in comparison...</p>
<p>dont. we murdered the yearbook committee in an extremely gory way
Trust me, student union at baylor u is 10000000000X better than consulate. The only reason they didnt frisk me was because they didnt have a female security guard on duty! I felt like a real criminal</p>
<p>hahahaha! if u cuda just strewn a couple of bombs inside then, and if u got a reject letter, just call up the consul general and blackmail him into getting u accepted ;) glad it went well. btw.suburbian, brisk means quick .</p>
<p>hey bokonon, who was your interviewer in houston?</p>
