Yay!

One of the kids I did an alumni interview with got in to Princeton! It's only the second one in six years of interviewing. I really liked this guy, too, and pushed hard for him. (That probably helped, but wouldn't have done much unless the rest of his record was stellar, too.) He sent me a sweet (and ecstatic) note letting me know that he was accepting and thanking me.

I only talked to him for an hour, but I still feel proud of/for him. Aww. Go, little brilliant high school student, go!

Oh, and I forgot to mention my very first interviewee also got in. Looking back, that kid was impressive but rather arrogant. The whole interview felt like he was interviewing ME. Prospective engineering student, and chose MIT over Princeton (no surprise, really, given the personality).
