I got into the wrong career lol
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
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.
Without a leave of absence you’ll likely need to reapply and get new letters of recommendation , etc. Your chances at that point are pretty low.
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.
Not much different than a new applicant, except we know they know how to be a doctoral program member, and do things like be an intern, or RA.
