braves2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 In general, is it easier to get into grad programs during the off-semester (spring)? Does anybody know?
TheGirlWhoLived Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I don't know about masters programs, but all the PhD programs I have seen only take people for fall. It might be different for your field... Have you already looked this up?
bsharpe269 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 From what I have seen, most phd programs only accept students for the fall semester since due to funding issues and also the way that classes are set up. Classes are done in sequences so you wouldnt necesarily be able to take the classes offered in teh spring since you had not taken the fall ones yet.
Guest Gnome Chomsky Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 It might be. But then you're limited to the small number of schools that actually accept people for the spring semester.
Crucial BBQ Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Fewer programs offer a Spring admissions cycle but they are not totally rare. I would imagine competition would range from similar to more competitive as the number of seats may be available would more-than-likely be less.
