Is graduate school easier to get into than undergrad?

Answer 1

Depends on where you go. If you're going to attend one of the corporate diploma mill university, all they care about is revenue so they'll accept anyone. Examples are University of Phoenix, Strayer, Walden, Capella, etc. If you attend a traditional school with a rich history and they care about academics it's a little more difficult. I attend Grand Canyon University for my Master and it was easy, but not overly difficult either. Good luck!

Answer 2

Since you have to get into an undergraduate program before getting into a graduate program -- isn't the answer pretty obvious.

That being said -- I got into graduate schools that I never could have gotten into as an undergraduate. I was unchallenged in High School and did not do that well. I got into a good regional school (Villanova) -- but could never have gotten into a top 20 national university. But I studied hard and did well in college. I got accepted at some great graduate schools (Cornell, Minnesota, Duke, UC Berkeley). Minnesota is the only one I could have gotten into as an undergraduate.

The takeaway here is that you get a second chance. If you didn't get into that great school as an undergrad -- then youhave a chance to prove yourself. Still -- it isn't easy.

Answer 3

I would say no, when you apply for an undergraduate degree, you can get an Associates of Arts and just transfer to a 4yr university like Florida State University. But when you apply to graduate school, you have to take placement tests and everyone wants your financial aid. Also, i think there are less scholarships available for graduate students than undergraduate.

Answer 4

It does depend on the program, but it's generally much harder to get into graduate school.

Answer 5

at least twice as hard if not harder
and twice as expensive.. if not more
