When we push students to always choose the highest-ranked programs, we make it easier for those programs (or their faculty) to get away with treating students badly. Since that push sends the message that students should just be grateful to be there, no matter the cost.
There's some good advice in this thread, but I'm going to offer another take on #6 here:
The "best" (i.e. most prestigious) program you get into might not be the best fit for you, and you can still have a great career, even if you decide not to put status above everything else.
The "best" (i.e. most prestigious) program you get into might not be the best fit for you, and you can still have a great career, even if you decide not to put status above everything else.
6) If you are offered the opportunity to do a PhD or a master at Oxbridge, Harvard or Yale don’t thing twice. Go!
7) Smart work exists in academia as well. Just look for it.
8) Paradoxically the pace of innovation at work can be slower in academia than other
businesses.

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.
Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal.
There is so much waste happening.
