I've seen people who were able to enroll as non-degree grad students for a semester or two and then be admitted.

- djcapelis 17y agoUnfortunately this route means you don't get any funding. Taking a research position at a university might be a better path for someone with financial constraints. But yes, I've heard of people doing this too and I can imagine it working. Professors who know you like you a lot more than professors who don't know you.
- RK 17y agoIt might also work to be in only one class, allowing you to still have your normal job, etc. I think the main thing would be to show the department/professor that you can cut it at the university. If you can get a research job and take class(es), you're practically a grad student already :)
