ABD information and assistance with statistical information I am presently in a PhD program and was an ABD student. I am curious as to the following information, which will also assist me in formulating my dissertation topic:
1. How many students are ABD on this site?
2. How did many of you end up in an ABD status?
3. How many ABD students are searching for ways to complete their degree?
4. What opportunities have you found that will assist you with your degree completion?
I hope to help as many ABDs as possible and I would appreciate it if you could help me by responding to these questions. Please feel free to ask me any questions as well.
I was never ABD.  Datapoint to help your survey.
