kasuganosora Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I was accepted to some top stat PhD programs this year. All are ranked in the top 15. I am interested in some topics. However, honestly, I am not sure what I want to research. There is a possibility that I will change my mind in the future. Is it unusual to quit PhD program in the middle and get into another PhD program again? (I know such cases occur when supervisors move to other schools. But other than that...)

GoPackGo89 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Wouldn't it make sense to just change problems or find a new advisor within the department? Interested in an answer as well SolKit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatsG0d Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I would say unusual is a bit of an understatement. More like "extremely rare". These universities spend a lot of money funding you, so if you quit, it might signal to the new university that you aren't really sure what you're getting yourself into. Just something to think about. mitchell35 and DBear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
