I applied there in December (for a Phd in EE) and they sent me an email inviting me to visit during their engineering grad school recruitment day. They are paying for all air fare, meals, and hotel costs. I am really looking forward to going. I'll get the chance to meet the engineering dean, department chair, and profs that are working in my area of interest (and that could potentially end up being my research adviser).
They have good professors in my area of interest (organic semiconductor devices) and it looks like a cool school...and the weather is nice. Plus (not that this is really that important), it is ranked pretty well (#26 in the country for EE).
The event is on Feb 29th and March 1st. I would arrive on the 28th and I would leave on the 2nd.
So, has anyone been to ASU's campus? If so, what are your opinions? I assume there is a really good chance that I will be admitted since they are paying for all travel expenses. Hopefully I will have an offer for admission at the event. Also, I hope TA/RA and fellowship arrangements will be made at the event.
I am surprised I have been given an offer (sort of) this early in the admissions process. I don't expect to hear from the other schools until the end of Feb or beginning of March.
