Abstract

Chemical Engineering Education has provided significant resources for students who are either contemplating or actively pursuing graduate school opportunities. Examples include the annual Graduate Guide as well as contributed articles that address various issues. What has been missing is providing students perspectives and techniques on how to craft the best possible application. In this article, three faculty members who have extensive experience with the graduate application process share their advice on this important topic.
