You are right. I think I was not clear about my question.
First of all, application deadline is 15 February and I still have a time to submit it. We talked last week and she has already bought my plane ticket which is nearly $500.- She said that it would be better for me to learn about the program and life there. But I wonder that why she invited me early? Is this kind of a campus visit or not? or should it be a good sign for me?
Hi everyone.
I'm an international student and I'm going to apply to University of Rhode Island. I did a skype interview with my potential advisor and - I think- she is quite positive about taking me as a graduate student. Also she invited me to see her lab and meet other faculty. Above all she will pay my plane ticket and my stay there for 4 or 5 days.
(I have a master degree in biology and I have quite good records -papers, research experience etc.)
What you all think about this situation?
