Starting over a PhD in another school
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2015 4:34 am
So, this year I'm at the point where I am practically rejected from all the schools that I applied to.
I am planning to try again next year, since my MS thesis adviser gracefully offered me a research position in his lab, along with decent funding.
He also asked me if I'm interested in applying for the PhD program here at my home institution, just in case things don't work out next time.
I have a question regarding this situation.
If I enroll here as a PhD student this year, will this fact act against me in any way when I apply to other schools in the upcoming year?
In other related topics I read that it's hard to get good recs when you're planning to abandon your current program, but this does not apply to my case. So, my only concern is whether the schools that I will apply to might consider this as a red flag.
