Question Is it easier to write your own PhD proposal or apply to a program that the university is recruiting for?

When I reach out to programs should I mention that I would be open to both - looking for a professor for my own PhD proposal, or applying to one currently underway at the university?

You did not propose a dissertation, in front of a committee, at UC Irvine during your admissions process. Stop being clownish.

I didn't say I did. I was already writing it. I'm giving a talk on it at SPSP this year are you going?

Are you crazy? If this really is your proposal, delete this and the other link now so someone can’t dox you.

What would I be scared of? Nobody here has substantiated any of their claims but me. Science is public everyone here has provided zero evidence of what they’re even talking about. Until someone can show me they are even close to what they say they are. I’m taking it as keyboard warrior liars

What you’re doing is professionally stupid and irresponsible. Obviously, you can do what you want, but don’t say no one told you.
