Every day I talk with prospective graduate students of all ages and backgrounds who wonder if they are \u201cgrad school-worthy.\u201d I usually find their self-doubts to be rooted in myths they\u2019ve heard or read about from non-graduate school sources.  It pains me to learn that many of these folks have let these myths hold them back from pursuing their master\u2019s or doctoral degrees for several years.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking about going to graduate school but feel unsure because of something you\u2019ve heard or read about, you\u2019re certainly not alone. While there are many myths floating around about graduate school, let\u2019s set the record straight on a few of the most common ones here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #1: You need a near-perfect undergraduate GPA to get accepted to graduate school<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grad admissions committees believe that past academic performance is a strong indicator of your chances for success in grad school. However, committees take a holistic approach to reviewing applications and consider your entire applicant profile: academic records, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, work experience, etc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence of growth, resilience, and commitment on a graduate application can sometimes help compensate for a less-than-perfect undergraduate GPA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #2: Grad school is too expensive, takes too much time, and it\u2019s not worth the cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grad school is certainly not free, but it can be considered one of the best investments you can make in yourself. It\u2019s an investment that never breaks, never gets lost or stolen, never loses value, and keeps paying you back every year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, master\u2019s degree holders earn nearly 20% more per week than those with only a bachelor\u2019s degree. Over time, that adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional lifetime earnings\u2014not to mention greater job security and career advancement opportunities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, many Pacific graduate programs offer financial aid opportunities to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, as well as some accelerated graduate degree programs that can be completed in as little as 12 months. Together, these reduce your investment of time and money and allow you to start receiving the benefits of your advanced degree sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #3: You must quit your job to attend grad school<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily. Many Pacific graduate programs offer evening, weekend, and hybrid options that allow you to study while working. In fact, many of our grad students (like me) are working professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #4:<\/strong> Grad school is only for people seeking a career in academics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Graduate degrees open career doors in business, healthcare, technology, education, and more. Whether you\u2019re looking to upskill, change careers, or take on a leadership role, grad school can be a practical next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #5: Grad school is REALLY difficult<\/strong>! <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the process of developing advanced knowledge and skill in a graduate program is challenging and requires strong motivation and commitment, most people who have earned a bachelor\u2019s degree and meet the minimum admission requirements for the program they are interested in have the necessary foundation to succeed as graduate students.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the personal knowledge and attributes you bring to a Pacific graduate program, you are provided with a high level of support from our dedicated faculty and a wide range of support services from the university. By looking at the graduation rate for the program you are interested in, you can see the results for yourself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line? Question what you feel is holding you back from pursuing a graduate education. Don\u2019t let graduate school myths guide your decisions or hold you back any longer. Contact a graduate admissions team member<\/a><\/strong> to get answers to your questions, get the facts, and explore what a Pacific grad school program could mean for your future. <\/p>\n\n\n
