I recently got admitted in the PhD program in Statistics , and they informed me that I am allowed to take An First Year Examination in August. And in order to be able to get PhD level courses I need to pass this exam . So basically I am not in the PhD ? it sounds weird that I have to pass 1) First Year Examination -->and then 2) PhD Qualification Exam(end of the 3rd year) so basically If I do not want to take the August Exam upon my arrival I am obligated to get Master Level classes and in the end of the 1st year pass First Year Examination to continue in the PhD level. Does this happen in all Statistic Program ? I mean 2 QUALIFYING EXAMS kinda stressful , and in my opinion misleading . Are they doing this to keep a specific number of students in the main PhD program ? Does this happen in all PhD Stats or Math programs ?
