Hey guys, I am currently applying to a PhD program without any prior undergrad education. Now that I have submitted my applications, I wonder how likely it is for someone like me with only a BA to be admitted to a PhD program. Since most PhD programs offer the possibility to obtain an MA on the road anyway, I just didn't think it was necessary to enroll at an MA only program first. Besides, due to my military service, I thought I would be running out of time since I want to start earning money before I'm 40.
Anyway, do you know what percentage of people admitted to PhD programs already have MAs? What about you? Are you applying to a PhD program with or without a graduate degree? Please specify your field.
BTW, I am applying to two different fields, Philosophy and Anthropology.
