So I had an interview a week ago for UCSB and was invited the same day via email to the open house. The schedule for the open house only shows a 1 hour slot for meeting with faculty and no formal interviews are taking place as far as i know. I have not yet been admitted and am dying to know if i got in. This is for an MA in global studies. Is this a good sign? also, expenses are covered as well as lodging for the weekend.
We can’t really be sure. Every university does this a little differently. It could be that the interview went well and they immediately invited you to an open house, or it could be that the invitations for the open house coincidentally went out the same day as your interview. Open houses are often information sessions, especially for master’s programs, and don’t indicate anything about admission.
