Are engineering PhDs easier to get into?

[binbagsss]

from a maths and physics background, are they easier to get into than something mathematical physics? I'm asking because from my experience it was a lot easier, I'm currently enrolled on a PhD in fluid dynamics, (and I am not sure I am enjoying it), but last time I asked on here I was told there isn't really any difference. thanks

Ease of getting into a graduate program is more a supply and demand issue.

If the graduate program is not popular and if you have the credentials then it would be a lot easier than one where there are many candidates.

yes, i think that's pretty obvious, but totally avoiding the question at the same time. c

So you're going to spam then forum with the same question over and over until you get the answer you want? You could have told us that at the beginning.

Or you could have mentioned that in the earlier thread (the technical term for that is "communication") rather than stopping participating in that thread and starting a new one.

And "experience"? You have none - unless you actually have gotten into an engineering PhD program as well as a physics PhD, and in that case, why are you asking?

PS UK English has sentences. You might want to try them.
