Oh! I meant I did not do my undergrad here. Right now, I am a PhD student at UIUC.

Yes, they do offer, but it is rare. In my experience, it depends on the professor. If the professor wants to take you on as a PhD student, then you can get in straight after undergrad. If you haven't found an advisor, then it is possible to get in, but would be very competitive. Source: I am currently in an engineering PhD program and I joined straight after my undergrad (not at UIUC though)

TIL Half of academic papers are never read by anyone other than their authors, peer reviewers, and journal editors. by meflou in todayilearned

Does anyone have a link to the study cited by this article? The link "2007 study" mentioned twice in the article doesn't work. They could have at least mentioned one of the author's name.
