Hi.
I noticed that some schools in my field (Communication Studies)have a PhD program where prospective students can apply only with their BA. In other words, unlike most PhD programs where you need a MA to apply, these ones state that all you need is a BA. Once you get accepted into the program you do a Masters in Philosophy on the way to completing the PhD.
My problem is that these programs are very competitive and only accept 10 people. I have o.k. grades, o.k. GRE scores, and I can get 2 great recommendation letters and 1 so-so letter. I don't have any conference experience because most of the ones I've looked into only accept abstracts from grad students. And I don't have any work experience in the field either.
Would it be in my best interest to get a MA first from another school, THEN apply for this PhD program that only requires a BA to get accepted? What do you think.
