[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any chance he can get back on the PhD track?[/quote] He's withdrawn from his program, and it's so competitive that he won't be accepted back once he's left. I think it was a dumb decision to leave, but he doesn't have the greatest judgement. That's part of HFASD, I'm afraid. He's said he'll go back for a PhD at a less competitive school after he works for a few years. He didn't like living on a subsistence grad school stipend. Jobs in his field pay six figures starting salary, if he can get hired, of course. [/quote] This doesn't sound right, assuming that he withdrew from his program in good standing. Are you sure that he didn't fail out or wasn't counseled out? Sometimes grad students decide that getting a Ph.D. isn't for them, but it isn't unusual for people who fail out of Ph.D. programs to leave with an M.A.[/quote]
