View submission: Difficulty of getting into a MA-PhD program?
It’s difficult to get into a PhD. You are up against 200 or more applicants competing for five slots. Grades aren’t as important as having a solid writing sample and letters of recommendation, but you might need an MA with good grades to demonstrate you can do graduate coursework, and the MA’s that pay you tend to be both competitive and do not inflate grades.
Also, you can find programs that pay you starvation wages. Don’t do this because you don’t have other plans. Do this only if you can’t bear doing anything else.
There's nothing here!
