I've just received an invitation to join the Graduate Open Day at UCDavis. And this will be my first time to attend Graduate Open Day in the US. There will be welcome party, campus visit, lab tour and interview with faculty members during the whole event. Is there any tips or suggestions for me to perform well in my first campus visit and interview? Wish to hear some advice. Thanks to all of you!

In fact, I am now physically in the US, so for some universities it is easy for me to get there. I also think the best way is sending another email. I will try it later. Thank you for your answer.

I am applying PhD for fall 2015 and I contacted several professors by email last year. Some of them told me that they planned to hire new PhD students and asked me to send my CV. But after I sent my CV to these professors, they never reply my emails. Now I have submitted the online application. So my question is, during these days before the decision, can I drop by and visit professors during their office hours? If it is possible to make an appointment, email may not be a good method since many professors may ignore them. Will it be good to make phone calls to professors? I am an international student and I don't know much about whether making phone calls will be annoying to professors or not. Hope to hear your suggestions. Many thanks
