Got an invite to interview on Friday (March 16) - I live in the States. I would certainly like to attend, and it seems they urge you too as well. If I cannot make it onsite, and opt for the phone interview, do you think it is less likely I would be given admittance? I assume there is at least a small bias towards those that spend the time and money to visit in person, right?
I would urge you to interview in person if you can! Even though I had seen the university before, I still opted for the on-campus interview day (I am from the US as well). The admissions team does a fantastic job selling the school. There was a full day planned with a dinner the night before. It was also a great opportunity to meet other candidates and interact with current students, as well as explore the town.
