[quote=Anonymous]I’m curious why people think these interviews don’t matter at all. Princeton’s CDS states the interview is “Considered” which is also the same category as legacy, first-gen, and geography.

From the school’s website:

DO I NEED TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW AS PART OF THE ADMISSION PROCESS?
We try to offer each applicant the opportunity to have a conversation with an alumnus/a volunteer. This is a chance for you to learn more about the Princeton experience and for us to learn more about you. Interviews take place after the Admission Office has received your application. You may choose on the application to opt out of the interview and this choice will not put you at any disadvantage in the admission process. If you do not opt out, you may receive an email inviting you to interview with a member of our Princeton Schools Committee in your area (if available). The alumni interviewer will contact you to arrange a convenient meeting time. Alumni interviews for the 2023-24 application cycle may be in person or virtual depending on the availability of the alumni. The Admission Office has no preference between these two options. We include the interviewer’s comments in our review of your application. Interviews aren't required as part of the admission process, but we encourage candidates to accept the invitation. Do not be concerned if interviews are not available; we will give your application full consideration without an interview. Given the timeline, we will not be able to offer an interview to students who are participating in the QuestBridge National College Match as well as the Transfer Admission Program.

Apparently they don’t penalize if someone opts out or no interviewer is available, but for those who interview, it seems to matter (even if only a little).[/quote]
