Editor's notes
- Texas A&M asks for a short statement, no more than a page and a half, that covers why you want the degree, your background, and long-term goals, and names faculty if you are applying to a thesis or research degree. December 15 is the cutoff for the department's Graduate Merit Fellowship, well ahead of the February 1 international and May 1 domestic deadlines, so funded-PhD applicants should finish early. Research assistantships come from individual professors, and the department advises starting a real conversation about their research rather than simply asking about funding. Letters must arrive through EngineeringCAS by the application deadline.
