| Feb 24, 2014 at 20:31 | comment | added | Poplol | @user4050 Thanks for your comment. Yes I saw your question as well. It's always better morally to be telling the truth at the first place. Actually it will be easier as well. However, I'm really not sure whether this will work out. It's a big thing anyway. | |

| Feb 24, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Herman Toothrot | I am in the exact situation as you, see the other question I asked. The problem I have is that I am currently doing research on exactly what I want, and I am afraid that transferring to another program I will be more of a compromise on research but I will be closer to home. A big dilemma. | |
