Draft application statement(s).Most graduate programs in engineering expect that you will apply 9-12 months in advance of thesemester in which you wish to begin graduate school. Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks: Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.
