Anyone just choose their research topic based on whatever professor agreed to work with them? 2017-03-07 02:39:18 Post No. 8727662

Anyone else have no idea what research they want to do, and just accepted the research projects based on whatever professor was the first to agree to work with them? Anyone do this to be admitted to a PhD program? if so, how did it work out? Did you actually like your research project?

i agreed to join the first professor that contacted me, and he already had a project lined up.
i regret it because the professor can't manage a lab for shit, and he wasted 2 years of my time while i waited for him to get funding. i was going to master out after 2 years but of course he got funding then which trapped me in.

I'm in math so it seems to be quite different. Most students don't have an advisor or topic until after all their exams.

in the fourth year of the same shit program. grant runs out in a little over a year. not sure how i'm going to finish on time, but i'm hoping i'll be able to half ass a thesis and squeeze through.

I did math too and in most schools a POI has to have interest in you for you to receive funding / be accepted
