Invitation to paid visit = admitted?

[nanoflag]

Does an invitation to paid visit (by Penn State Materials Science Dept) mean I am admitted?

Thanks

why's this under history? and not necessarily, usually it's because you're a finalist.

A "flyout" does not mean you have been admitted, but it does mean you are on the short list. You will most likely be admitted if your visit goes well. Good luck!

It depends on the school/program. Sometimes programs will have an interview phase, in which case this means you're on a short list and highly likely to be accepted. Other times is does mean that you're essentially admitted, but they can't formally say you're accepted because they don't have your funding situation fully figured out yet.

What if they pay for your visit before you turn in your application and it's not an interview?

Thank you all for replying.
