Is it harder to get into grad school when the economy is down?
Filed Under (grad schools) by admin
Hamster Town asked:


Less college grads can get jobs or more get fired from their jobs/their employer goes bankrupt = more applicants for grad school because college grads have no option in the workforce and want to better their resume = more competition = harder to get into grad school?

    Interesting question.
    Its possible, but you should also consider that fact that many students may be deterred from going to grad school during an economic slump because its basically just throwing out money, since students dont reap the benefits of furthering education until several years down the line. I think alot of people will address their more urgent economic needs first.
