How do admissions committees evaluate PhD transfer students? My current program really isn't as good of a fit I thought it would be.
I'd love to transfer out to a different program, but how is it perceived by other programs? Should I wait a whole year before applying (meaning I'll start at the new school during my third year)? Or should I start applying during this round (that way I start at the new school, if I get in of course, during my second year)?
