Is Ph.D. worth the cost?

<p>

</p>

<p>No. </p>

<p>In fact, depending on the department, doing undergrad at MIT will actually make it harder to get into MIT grad as the senior faculty in those departments have mathmom’s view that students shouldn’t spend all of their higher-ed years in the same department/university environment unless there’s an exceedingly compelling reason to do so. </p>

<p>Heard this from several MIT folks…including a few Profs who were advisers to friends in various MIT grad departments (Mostly natural and engineering sciences). However, this depends on department so I’d await answers from those who know more details. </p>
