signedup118 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 A bunch of students left a lab around the same time. Maybe they want their research to go in a new direction. Now there may be potential for new students in that lab but not sure if it is a good lab situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhommependu Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 contact some of the students maybe? a bunch of people leaving at once would definitely set off red flags for me but it could be a coincidence lhommependu and FestivusMiracle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there may be potential for new students in that lab but not sure if it is a good lab situation. I would be very cautious. Acceptance to a University usually revolves around getting into a specific lab; transferring into a different lab is a political minefield, as the student leaving one lab usually needs a darn good reason, and the person taking the student needs to have funding. The fact that more-than-one student left a given lab and was able to find funding elsewhere is worth noting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signedup118 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 It was 4 or 5 students. It is a clinical program. Student funding comes from externships not from the labs. Maybe the student interest shifted because everyone heard new professor had been hired. I heard they left before the new professor came but students already knew they had hired someone new.

No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that's not a euphemism for something worse? TheCheat_IsMyHero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randompsychologist Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Do you want to be in a lab where "slow progress" is a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
