  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.

        No, they withdrew, one about a decade ago, and then re-applied.

        Its not nearly as hard as you are making it out to be.
