I was recently admitted for an MS at UCLA even though I applied for a PhD. I was told of a one day open house for all engineering admits (nothing great, just some speakers). Also, they only provide travel reimbursement for their highly recruited admits (I"m guessing PhD students). Do you think they have a separate open house for the PhD admits?

So I get an e-mail a couple of weeks ago from a Professor tell me that he was considering offering me a PhD position in the engineering program. I arranged to call him and spoke with him last Monday (9 days ago). The phone call was mostly information on the program, the selection process, the stipend, the professor's research, etc. But the professor never gave me a solid offer. In fact, I don't think the topic of whether I actually got in came up ( I wish I could go back and hear the conversation again). I'm really quite confused. I haven't been accepted by the school yet. The professor told me to call/e-mail if I had any more questions. What should I do? Should I just ask a question so that they know I'm interested? Has anyone ever encountered a scenario like this before?
