Comments: Had an interview with  a Prospective PI from Purdue University, she had a phone call with one of my  Referees (they Had the same PI when conducting their PhD in US so they knew each other before). Then the PI informed that she invited me at the Visiting Days 15-17 of February to meet in personal. Nextly, an official email came to me informing me about the invitation. I need your comments please. Is it worthy to go at the visiting days? What should I expect? What are my chances of being admitted??

!! Please I need an insight here guys... Thanks!!
