Why does everyone seem to ignore how hard it is to get into grad school?

Sometimes an anonymous site is exactly what we need. :blush:

I hear you, OP. Life is hard. That’s why we come together on CC to support each other.

Agree that it varies on the program. My friend’s kid applied three weeks ago to a masters in management at U Chicago and got in. Maybe it was easier continuing on (since already at U Chicago as an art major). But not a lot of business experience, so I found that interesting. I think the one-year masters can be pretty straightforward for admissions if the gpa is high enough.

100%.

A school that is highly selective for undergrad might not be nearly as selective for a masters. It depends on the program/career.
