I remember a couple of older guys from grad school who came in from industry jobs; they found that the first couple of years challenged their motivation, and I can think of at least one who simply decided it wasn't for him after all, even though ability was not an issue. Whereas the temptation to drop everything appears weaker for students who have always been in school to begin with. | |

I think most profs would be quite happy to do this, especially if you are obviously making a serious effort. | |
