  1. I don't have an interest, but this topic reminds me of Hanna Garth's research. Not sure if this reply is helpful at all, but maybe it is! She's at UCSD
  2. Hi AP thank you for your reply! I will definitely include that I'm so much more carefully informed now and cognizant of so many other factors that have nothing to do with academia but nonetheless contribute to my success as a human being! I appreciate your response about how I am unlikely to withdraw too---that's hella true but I didn't even think to state that! Thanks for helping me think this through I appreciate your help
  3. Thank you Hopeforthebest:) you do bring up a good point about how I frame mental health and the importance of that. I will take this advise into heavy consideration I appreciate your response!
  4. Hi everyone ? This is my first time posting here, so I hope it goes well because I am seeking advice on a unique (maybe?) situation. For undergrad, I went straight from high school to DePaul University in Chicago because I got a great scholarship--I am from California and honestly didn't do much research on the school, programs, city, etc. or have any real guidance on how to ask those types of questions. Long story short, I withdrew after a quarter because I was homesick, depressed, and snow. I went back to CC and eventually graduated with honors from UC San Diego, so I'm not very concerned about this "detour", DePaul just wasn't the right fit for me. ?‍♀️ So I'm applying to PhD programs now and I ran across this question: "Have you ever withdrawn or been dismissed from any college or university?" Obviously, the answer from me is yes because I did withdraw in the middle academic year, but how should I explain this? Better to be honest about not informed college decision and then deciding to leave after my mental health declined? Or do I just stay vague with "personal reasons"? Any pros or cons for either approach? Is this a questions I should be worried about?
