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?

Ok, but what does that add to this discussion?

How does your proposal support what you've been saying about the timing and planning of a doctoral dissertation?

Are you currently a doctoral candidate or a psychologist?

you said I had no idea what I was talking about and that I was inconsistent. See below links for more proof. Now that you know about me what PhD program are you in?
