[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Headed to MIT for an architecture/engineering graduate program—Masters with an option to continue to PhD. [/quote]
I’ve never heard of this. Almost always a PhD admission is separate of masters admission and masters students typically can’t just continue onto a PhD program, since those are funded opportunities that drain resources. Is it an unfunded PhD offer?[/quote]

It’s funded. [/quote]
Then he got into a PhD program. No one accepts a student to a masters and an unconditional PhD offer, with the option of just initially not having a PhD at all. That’s nonsensical from a Departmental finance and planning perspective [/quote]

Oh, ok. I’ll be sure to tell my child that MIT is lying to her. [/quote]

+1. PhD here. My grad program in the social sciences commonly admitted students to PhD program straight out of undergrad, who then earn an MS and a PhD. The dept prioritized funding for these students to the same degree that they did for students coming in with a Masters already. [/quote]

Science masters here—don’t know what that person is talking about. I was accepted to several top programs and at all you could get masters or phd or both—your choice.[/quote]

DS has a few friends in fully funded masters programs. I think the universities would love these students to continue on to get the PhD, it’s more the student who isn’t sure. So yes, it happens.

DS is a fully funded PhD student in engineering.[/quote]
They would still have to apply for the PhD.[/quote]
