accepted but not invited to official visit weekend

[Sconnie]

So last week one of my schools notified me that I had been accepted and asked of I had any questions about the program.  I asked to be put in contact with a current grad student to get a better feel for the people that are there.  In her introductory email to me she mentioned that the recruitment visit is incredibly important and she highly suggested I go.  Now my POI has made no mention of this weekend to me.  When I mentioned to the grad student I hadnt heard about it she said that my POI would be the one to give me details.  What should I make of that?

I would send an email asking about it. Visits to me are very important (esp if you've never seen the city/school/professor before) and I think it's fair to have one.

 

If they can't fit you into the official admit weekend, try asking whether you can schedule a one-on-one visit at some other time.
