That may be problematic as a plan, if (as I've heard is the case) elite graduate programs are somewhat biased in admissions to elite undergraduate programs. > Seems like a better cost/benefit ratio, considering Masters is only 1 or 2 years and thus doesn't cost as much. Graduate programs tend to, at similar schools, have a substantially higher cost per year (though may also offer more opportunities to offset that cost) than undergraduate programs; a masters, despite less time in residence, can easily cost more after the bachelors than a bachelors at the same university would cost.
