How hard is it to get into grad school and do a PhD

I guess you gotta be smart but do you have to be super smart and successful or just cleverish is ok? and is it expensive?

It depends a lot on the program.

I'd say it's less about being "super smart" and more about learning proper research methods and being able to apply them.

If you're doing a PhD a lot of schools will usually offer some TA work or research assistant work to help with the costs, but that varies a lot as well.
