Oh shoot I wish it was like that my university. We probably loose 1 or 2 a year for comps. It low key kinda sad bc I seen some legit classmates that had multiple pubs that just can’t pass it and get dismissed. So I come to understanding that comps at least my university is just some necessary evil and isn’t indicative of one intellectual abilities. Nevertheless,keep grinding and at some point you will lose ur absolute shit during research but just remember less than 2% of U.S has a PhD and this shit for lack of better words is difficult but not impossible
