    It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just come back to a phd program after leaving it. It’s not like undergrad.

        Did they have an approved leave of absence with a planned return or did they just fall off the side of the planet and then later just show up?

        It’s rare to find a school that would entertain such a thing. I doubt that is the case with those people you’re talking about.

        Without a leave of absence you’ll likely need to reapply and get new letters of recommendation , etc. Your chances at that point are pretty low.

          No, they withdrew, one about a decade ago, and then re-applied.

          Its not nearly as hard as you are making it out to be.

          Not much different than a new applicant, except we know they know how to be a doctoral program member, and do things like be an intern, or RA.
