You know, grad school varies so much because there are so many areas, professional, research, and levels like MS, MSE, PhD…the answers will somewhat vary depending on what you are talking about. if you are talking specifically about accounting you should say so.

1. I don't even know why the comparison would be made, it just doesn't make sense. If you are under-prepared or not at the level of the school then it doesn't matter if it is easier or not. You won't get in. Even if a particular grad program admit rate is not as hard as the undergrad admit rate, there may still be a very well qualified applicant pool.

2. Grad classes are supposed to be harder but it may be easier to get a B as that is considered passing.

3. Again it depends. For accounting, not likely for a MSA or MST program. Maybe if you are the top of the applicant pool or have a really high GMAT/GRE? Not sure on that. Maybe the MBA forum knows more about the business programs.

4. I'm not sure this matters for accounting. For many research fields, you are encouraged to to to a new uni to get experience with other researchers if you are going for PhD. If not and your uni has a 1 yr program for grads that may be efficient but I suppose if you can trade up that's worth it.
