Hey all,

Just had a few questions about being admitted to Graduate School at the university where I am studying Electrical Engineering currently (University of Florida):


If I only apply for MASTER’S admissions, does that give me a better chance of being admitted than if I applied for phD admissions?
Do engineering departments like to admit their own undergrads to grad school? Also, does being accepted into the combined BS/MS program help my chances for grad school admissions?
Electrical Engineering is one of the largest graduate departments at the University of Florida…does that give me a better chance of getting in?
I plan on doing a double minor in computer engineering and mathematics…would a rigorous coursework schedule and double minor look favorable on my grad school application to UF?


I NEED to get into the UF grad school program, as it is the only reason I am attending there for undergrad and my parents are literally MOVING from my home state to establish residency because they are banking on me to get into UF grad school…as you can probably see I am feeling the pressure. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
