Some EE flavor, from a Skype chat and some texting, fwiw:
The EE grad I spoke with wrote this:
"I think that if you can walk in with what I call the three opens (can't do the body language with typing) you'll get a great deal out of it:
1) Open mind (touches head) 2) Open heart (touches heart) 3) Open arms (for hugging). (opens arms) "
That is, it sounds like you must be willing to be vulnerable, open. Perhaps being an out of towner (EE is in Philadelphia, and I am coming from Sweden) is an advantage in this open context.
...
I wrote this:
"If asked how confident I am about myself and socially, maybe a 2 of 5 (1 is worst). If asked about knowing what I want from life and if I have a plan, also 2 of 5. It seems I am not in control of it much, not a good feeling.
I'd really like to hear what others want from life, what plans they have, what is important to them, and how they plan to achieve these."
My EE contact wasn't fazed by this openness (and we'd only been talking for maybe 10 minutes) - how great and real to be able to be open and share - and I really liked the guy -
Good stuff, I think, if you are wound that way,
