This week, TBP-PAE hosted a brown bag lunch talk as part of National Engineers Week, entitled “Preparing for Grad School – How to Become a Top Tier Applicant.” Senior TBP member Ryan Coulson (’18) shared his experience applying to graduate school programs to a group of sophomore and junior engineering students. Ryan shared what he learned after having recently applied (and been accepted!) to graduate school. Some topics Ryan discussed include when to start the graduate school search, how to narrow down programs, which exams you need to take, and how to make your application stand out.
