I was in my PhD program but dropped out due to the slow pace of my research and my loss in interest in it. I basically wasted my two years.

Will this tantamount to negative impact on my overall package in top B-Schools.

I have a Bachelors in Engineering for a reputed college, MS from a not so reputed one and then dropped from PhD program.

I have around 5 years of experience.

Please repsond.

Dear jbdpramod,

Starting a PhD program, even though you did not finish, will not necessarily hurt you. However, you do need to explicitly address why you decided not to complete the program.

Good luck,
Lisa
