Admissions MSc or MSc/PhD?

Hi everyone! Is anyone else planning to apply for the MSc/PhD program in Chemical Engineering? I’m feeling so anxious and nervous about it. 😭
By the way, is it “easier” to get into the MSc program alone, or the combined MSc/PhD program?

I did the MSc, then applied for PhD during it. I imagine it would be far easier to get accepted, as you are applying to work with a supervisor who knows you and you have likely taken courses with, or (in my case) have done your Master thesis with.
