RIP me, congrats though! I thought the visit and school was amazing. Do you mind sharing the PIs initials?

Thank you! and congrats to your UCSD too!

But sorry I don't think my PI will recruit too many students so it may be easy to find out my info if I share. 

My friend received an oral offer from his PIs one week ago but he still didn't receive official. paperwork always takes time. Best luck to you!

Penn BE has what's called the "Graduate Group" which consists of all professors a BE admit can join the lab of, even if their primary appointment is outside BE. As long as that PI is on that list, I can't imagine they wouldn't be aware of admission procedures.

finally got my invitation! my POI helps a lot...

Honestly, I don't for sure know. I thought they didn't before as that's what people here implied, but either way they could still be sending invites.

 

Especially if you've recently had a Skype interview, it doesn't make sense for that PI to spend time doing that if they weren't gonna send out any more right?

thank you for your reply! but the point is that PI is from department of radiology so Im not sure if he is familiar with the BE admission procedure XD. anyway, I can only wait at this time... hope I can get the invitation. Seem like 90% of invited students will be admitted. and congrats to you!

I'll just add that  previous years' data may not be as relevant as usual, because they have a new system in place this year (where they did Skype interviews then invitations).

Best of luck either way!

So they didn't have skype interview previously? I just had skyped with a faculty this tuesday and was waiting for a campus visit invitation...
