Why today would any international PhD students WANT more than 4 years in the USA? Get your degree then . . . GTFO
Or just never study in the USA at all . .
Even if they wanted to, a lot of PhDs take longer than 4 years. My program averages 5.5 (with 4 being very rare and considered “early”) and someone I know in physics say 6 or 7 is common. Those programs are going to have a large drop in admission. I’m on my way out and will finish at 4.3 years, I’m the first one in my class to graduate
Agreed, this makes doing a STEM PhD in the US a gamble for foreign students. Getting to year 4 and then having to drop out because you can’t get an extension is a huge disincentive to bring talent here
Why would you come here if not for pussy or dick?
And get infected by MAGAts?
My point was why would you come here unless it’s for sex and/or love?
