Generis Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 One of my interviews is up to $200 in travel reimbursement, I have too bring the receipts with me. The other has reimbursement for travel, free food and hotel, but not sure of the details yet. Hope this helps Journey2015 and JoePianist 2
yellowmint Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) How common is it for universities to reimburse you for travel? Does it mean anything (like, they really want you) or is it common practice? It generally means the school has money and is less indictive of how much that program wants you (they're interested but it is not necessarily a soft acceptance). I think it's generally standard operating procedure for PhD. I am not sure about the master's level though. Actually, only some schools reimburse - it is getting more common but I wouldn't say it is the norm, yet. Could the reimbursement occur during/after the interview weekend? I haven't been offered any reimbursement yet. Usually, after interview weekend they mail you a check. Some schools will want the ticket stub from your plane ticket as proof you've went.

Illvm Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Does anybody know the difference between Interview day and Recruitment day? Are they basically the same? After having a phone interview, I was invited to the recruitment day for one school (social) and there is no mention of interview on that day (i.e., meals with faculty members and grad students, research lab tours, and a dinner party at a faculty's house).. I was just wondering if I should be prepared for a in-person interview, and be very formal.
TheMercySeat Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Could the reimbursement occur during/after the interview weekend? I haven't been offered any reimbursement yet. I got offered for one interview, but then I was told to book my flight ASAP. It might not be in the best taste if I try to redeem the offer (I'm a nonclinical PhD applicant)
TXInstrument11 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Could the reimbursement occur during/after the interview weekend? I haven't been offered any reimbursement yet. I am awaiting emails with more details, but my POI confirmed funding for my plane and bus ride over, as well as hotel and some food. For clinical, this seems to be a much less common practice, but I'm not sure.
Journey2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 One of my interviews is up to $200 in travel reimbursement, I have too bring the receipts with me. The other has reimbursement for travel, free food and hotel, but not sure of the details yet. Hope this helps I was offered up to $250 in reimbursement. Had to submit a tentative itinerary prior to the visit, and will present receipts day of. I realize I may be making too much of nothing but my nerves are on 10 right now!
VulpesZerda Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Rutgers Visit Day 3/6 Darn. I was not invited...
SocialHealth Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Darn. I was not invited... Don't be discouraged. I do research with my mentor so I found a while ago. That doesn't mean the invites have all gone out.

_intrigue_ Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 UCSB Experimental is 2/17 (originally earlier but moved because lots of people couldn't make it) All divisions?
smbtuckma Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 All divisions? I'm not sure, I only applied to social and that's what I heard pertaining to social.
