Pushed through? In my experience those candidates are encouraged to drop out.

There are practical matters, some quite controversial, that you aren’t considering.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Probably. What are you referring to exactly?

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Let’s just say that demographics play a critical role in future grant applications.

Not everywhere, I guess. The advisor needs to show good numbers to the ~~stakeholders~~ board, after all

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think that's on the entrance selection committee, not the supervisor. (Although they are probably part of that committee)

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I don't know for sure, but my advisor used to worry about the amount of successful PhD graduates, because of the department quota, iirc

on the other handhis quota was not too high, and he allowed me to enroll and was okay with me, although I said in advance that I will likely become a drop out

Depends if its profitable or not, including in the long run.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. Short term easy passes come at the expense of sacrificing long term reputation.
