@RoulaDaher2@PhDVoice@PhD_Genie@OpenAcademics We touched base when I accepted & my previous mentor knew/understood I worked full time until moving 2wks before the semester.

My request for 2023: stop using BMI.
If you're a member of the public, using it to suggest an 'ideal' weight: STOP.
If you're a clinician, using it to judge someone's weight: STOP.
If you're a scientist, using it as a proxy for adiposity: STOP.
