In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss the increased issue of paused and canceled graduate admissions for fall 2025, especially for PhD programs. I offer context and insights on the factors contributing to this situation, including budget cuts, federal policy changes, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university finances. I also share actionable strategies for prospective PhD applicants, focusing on developing Plan A, B, and C to navigate this challenging admissions landscape.
