Hello,
I am not sure if this topic has already been addressed, but I looked for something like this and couldn't find anything.....
I am currently in a PhD program and I will be leaving after this semester for a lot of reasons (some personal, some academic). I have been accepted into an Ivy League school's MA program, and I am thinking about getting a second masters to help me focus my research interests (I am thinking about switching my focus) and to help me get into a better school at a better location. So while I am hoping that a second masters, especially one from an Ivy League school, will improve my chances of getting into another PhD program down the line, I am scared to death that having to admit that I left a program will kill my chances. Will schools only look at me as a financial risk and waste of time? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
