Sounds like they're jerking you around. Tell them off in the rudest way possible.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I'd enjoy that. The department is swimming in oil money. My research would likely be funded by big oil, at least indirectly.Sounds like they're jerking you around.

**** no. The website says that there's a 2/3 chance I'd end up in an oil company, so I'd be in the midst of a drug/sex binge in such an event."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Typically, a college will have two or three candidates for an on campus visit, which they pay for. It might be the case that you are the only one though, although that would be rare.
Good luck though, Rice is a good school. Looking at their recent philosophy hires it would be tough for someone in my field to get a job there.Only feebs vote.Comment

Or are you enrolling as a student? If so, that speaks admission to me.Only feebs vote.Comment

He is a student.
Generally in physics, to become a professor, there is like 6 or so candidates. And they pay for all candidates.
