I guess it varies due to a number of different factors but I think it would be safe to say that though it may be difficult it’s not impossible. You just have to know what you want, be able to convey that notion, and prove that you would be productive if admitted. My cousin was admitted to a PhD at TC for Education Policy a few years ago and was accepted. Her grades were not PERFECT nor were her test scores, but she knew what she wanted to do and expressed it clearly in her essay. Additionally, she had publications, paper presentations, and numerous scholarships and awards for her past contributions. Be advised though that TC is notorious for not funding even PhD candidates. This is not my opinion but something I have heard from other students. I would seriously look into outside funding should you be accepted. Good luck!
