Hardest post-grad studies to get into

We all know med school is #1 hardest program to enter. Well anything healthcare related more so. What about law school? Business masters? idk guys, tell me some post grad stuff. I'm thinking bout my future.

Only in english dominated countries is high school math easy.
Go to any country in Asia

Law school and med school are hella competitive.
Good grad school programs are also hella competitive, but you can usually get into SOME graduate program.
Theatre graduate programs can also get EXTREMELY competitive because there are so little spots per program. But I'm pretty sure no one here is interested in theatre grad school except for me.

Also Duke med school is garbage unless you really want to do research. Duke produces really crappy doctors.

Ivy-League philosophy PhD programs come to mind.

The pay-off isn't exactly the greatest (all you can really do is teach with few other career paths beyond that), but trying to receive a PhD in philosophy is incredibly difficult. Actually quite ironic given the noted lack of rigor for a philosophy undergraduate degree.

depends on which grad school. some medical schools only require a 3.5 which is a fairly low GPA for med school entrance.
if you want to go to Duke or Harvard medical school, you best be having a solid 3.75+ GPA plus some impressive credentials outside of school plus all the testing
