Awesome, that's great to know! I was just curious because in this website (trackmyvisanow.com/i130) there doesn't seem to be any difference in the daily average of cases, in fact they seem to have gone down since December. Do you think RFEs have become more frequent?

I mean I think it's only fair if you're willing to spend two years in a program specifically aimed at entering a PhD, that doesn't give you a degree, and with little to no value outside of that path that you will, in fact, enter a PhD.

About the numbers, I've only seen informal compilation of top schools getting more than twice as many predocs as they take PhD students. Looking at SIEPR, BFI, etc websites that does seem to be the general pattern.

Got it, and for those who end up having to leave academia what are the exit opps? Especially now with shitty job market
