I just received an invite to Indiana’s “PhD Campus Visit Weekend” for their Informatics program. Similar to Penn State it did not mention interviews but it did have an option for video chats if you couldn’t attend in person.
I applied to Penn State’s Informatics PhD and got an invite to their “Graduate Recruitment Days” yesterday. Does anyone know anything about this? The wording was strange; it didn’t seem like it was a necessary application step and there weren’t other options for if you couldn’t attend, like a Skype interview. They never even mentioned an interview actually.
