Yeah, it was awesome in every sense. No monks, but a lot of asian virtuosos in overcoats, which are similar. Grad students eating hot pockets under blankets in their own corner of the library are also a little like monks. I did not see any of those, however. They were eating bagels, muffins, and veggie sandwiches.
I should find out if they're giving me an offer within 3 weeks, maybe sooner. It's not likely, but it would be incredible and a huge validation of what I've been doing. Eastman has possibly the best graduate theory program in the US, maybe tied with Yale or Indiana or CUNY, hard to say. Whether I get in or not, I was thrilled to make it to the interview stage and not make a fool of myself.
