Comment on I got into the wrong career lol

Ya? It’s that easy to just get into a phd program huh?

She dropped out of her doctorate. She’s going to have to explain why she dropped out if she wants any chance to get back in and that is already pretty low after dropping out.

“I dropped out to make money, and now I have money, and now I want to complete my PhD.”

Easy enough explanation.

  It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just come back to a phd program after leaving it. It’s not like undergrad.

    Yes, you can. I’ve welcomed 3 doctoral program folks back just this past semester.

    Did they have an approved leave of absence with a planned return or did they just fall off the side of the planet and then later just show up?
    
    It’s rare to find a school that would entertain such a thing. I doubt that is the case with those people you’re talking about.

She didn’t really “drop out”. She left for a much much much better opportunity. That’s a strong sign of intelligence.

  Dropping out is dropping out. The reason doesn’t matter so much.
