If you want to switch grad programs, you need a really compelling reason - to be close to sick relatives, to follow your advisor to his new school, etc. Otherwise you are just saying “open season on my reputation!!” Think of it this way - what MIT professor is going to want a student who bailed on their last school and advisor without a great reason?
