Yes, it is difficult to get into a PhD because there are more students than there are openings. The reason for this is that applicants are being subjectively evaluated and compared to one another to determine their potential to do original research and write a defended dissertation.

 

The way to increase your competitiveness of being admitted is to have a track record of doing research, which in your case, you do not. My advice is to apply to PhD programs and as a backup to master's programs that have an "with thesis" option where you can do research and write a master's thesis.

 

Bottom line: If you are admitted, then it is not difficult to get into to a PhD program; if not, it is because you will need to improve your qualifications.

 

 

 

This section will give you an indication of what you need to do to be able to apply for the chosen doctoral programme.

 

1.    Your academic record.

 

2.    English or another foreign language certificate. ...

 

3.    Letters of recommendation. ...

 

4.    Research proposal. ...

 

5.    Letter of motivation. ...

 

6.    PhD entrance exam. ...

 

7.    Resume.

 

If you are planning to apply for a PhD program, you're probably getting advice from dozens of students, professors, administrators your parents and the Internet. Sometimes it's hard to know which advice to focus on and what will make the biggest difference in the long-run. So before you go back to daydreaming about the day you accept that Nobel Prize, here are nine things you should give serious thought to. One or more of these tips may save you from anguish and help you make better decisions as you embark on that path to a PhD.                                   

 

1. Actively seek out information about PhD programs.

 

2. A PhD program is not simply a continuation of your undergraduate program.

 

3. Take a break between your undergraduate education and a PhD program.

 

4. Your current area of study does not dictate what you have to study in graduate school.

 

5. Make sure the PhD program has a variety of research options, and learn about as many research groups as possible in your first year.

 

6. Location is more important than you think — but name recognition is not.

 

7. Those time management skills you developed in college? Develop them further.

 

8. Expect to learn research skills on the fly – or take advantage of the training your department or career center offers.

9. There are no real breaks.
