The new director of admissions (Jennifer) was very welcoming, helpful, and laid-back. She seemed really enthusiastic about the season kicking off. Everyone I came across was very helpful.

My interview questions were pretty straightforward. It mostly focused on why I was applying EDP and why I was leaving engineering, with a few typical interview questions thrown in. Nothing was way out there, it was generally very conversational.

Our invites said to check in between 11 and noon. All of us were there by 11:30, though nothing started until noon. Not a big deal, gave us all some good time to chat and relax, but something to be aware of.

Overall a very comfortabe, organized day, I think.
