<p>so i finally had my interview yesterday. i woke up in the morning with a fever and a sore throat and stomach pangs. i had to skip school because i was very very sick, but i managed to drag myself out of the house to my interviewer's office.</p>

<p>i talked throughout the whole time with a stuffy nose (imagine how my voice sounded), and in the middle, i got into a coughing spell so she had to offer me water. and i had to repeat some things because my voice was making my words incomprehensible, BUT i did tell her i was sick.</p>

<p>WONDERFUL. i hope she doesn't grade down on my "presentation" ahahaha.. sigh. she's probably freaked out about catching the cold from me. i hope she doesn't put in her evaluation "applicant seemed very germy..."</p>

<p>lol about the last comment!
Actually, if I were the interviewer I would see this as a good thing...you are so committed to Pton and so motivated that you made the interview even though you clearly weren't feeling up to it.
I think it's fine as long as you didn't sneeze right on her or something. :p</p>

<p>I was majorly jetlagged because I had gotten back from Europe the night before.</p>

<p>"applicant seemed very germy"</p>

<p>made me laugh out loud.</p>

<p>hey, it might make you seem really dedicated. that you went to the interview even though you were sick.</p>

6

<p>Yeah! I am sure you came across as really dedicated...</p>

<p>Hahaha ... don't worry about it. I went to the hospital and found out I had pneumonia a couple hours after my interview. And I didn't even know what was wrong with me yet, so I probably just came off as rather sluggish ... but I still got in. I rather think your interviewer will think you were really dedicated to Princeton.</p>

<p>If you are sick, please try to reschedule the intv.
That's not going to go against you!</p>
