    Not that unusual IMO, lots of people start their PhD directly after completing their Bachelor’s. If they weren’t born born in the first half of the year then they’ll have completed their BS by 21 and start the PhD either at 21 or 22.

      A PhD is a mutli-year committment, usually right about 4 years before you’re ready to argue your dissertation.

      Like, a PhD program is basically 1/3 doing your research, 1/3 being a TA, and 1/3 being an RA.
