POI wants me to give a seminar

[crossoveranx]

I've been communicating back and forth with a POI from one of the schools I'm very interested in. Regrettably, he informed he probably wasn't going to take any more graduate students this cycle. However, he told me he was very interested in meeting me and if I would 'give a seminar' he would pay for my accommodation and meals. I'm not sure what give a seminar entails, so I'd like your guys thoughts before I respond

That would typically mean a research talk, anything from 15-50 minutes. It's very unusual to ask an undergrad to do this though--how many undergrads have 50 minutes of research to talk about?--so might be worth asking him to clarify what he means by seminar. 

 

Regardless, could a good opportunity and put you in a nice position for next cycle, if you're still interested in working with him then.
