First, congratulations on making the PhD first cut; I've read and heard that PennGSE's PhD programs are very selective! Second, thank you for your thoughtful reply. I've heard that the EdD weekend mirrors the PhD weekend, so it's nice to hear about your experience. Although Saturday appears to be a rather structured day of activities, it's comforting to hear that the interviews feel more lie conversations, rather than interviews. I am--far and away--most nervous about that part. All the best to you; hopefully you will get your good news within the next few weeks.
