Easiest grad program to get into with funding?

[gradschoolgimp]

What's the easiest program to get into that offers full funding and a stipend?

I know a phd is rigorous and trying all that. I'm not flippantly considering applying.

I'm just curious about options, theoretically speaking.

What are the easiest subjects to get into and easiest schools to get into that offer full funding in this program?

I'm going with hard sciences

Or engineering. At my uni, there's usually enough projects to fund everyone.

But although they are most likely to have funding, it cannot be assumed they'll be easy to get into (and OP is asking for both). In fact, perhaps because they are funded, they can be extremely competitive fields.

I thought the second poster made a joke.

Anyway theoretically speaking there may be some fields that are easier to get into than others, and there may be some fields that are easier to get funding. BUT in Phd acceptances your preparation is key so this theoretical comparison does not make any sense. Eg. who knows maybe it is easier(?) to get into engineering with funding but boy you have to have adequate math training , lab experience, etc... even to apply. So at the end it is not so easy.

if you seriously don't even have a major in mind for which you would do a PhD in, you should not do a PhD

[amandacarol1215]

I don't think you should choose a PhD program based on what is easiest to get into. It should be something you love and want to work for, otherwise it will be a waste of both your and everyone else's time and money.

Forgot to put into my comment you need a bs in the field you go into for hard sciences which isn't easy to do. But one you do, there's so many universities with so many spots I would say it's easiest. But then again a lot of the programs wil, lead to jobs you could of gotten with a bs

Don't think easy. Think quality and passion.

The last being the most important.
