Application Materials and Instructions | |
| APPLICATION CATEGORY | SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS |
| Educational Background | Applicants must upload unofficial transcripts or their application will be considered incomplete. Official transcripts must also be sent directly to the UNM Office of Admissions. |
| Program of Interest | Select: School of Engineering > Mechanical Engineering |
| Test Scores | GRE scores are required and should be submitted to the University directly by ETS (Institution code: 4845; no department code is needed). During the online application process, please report your scores unofficially for review. The GRE scores are considered for general benchmarking purposes and are examined in the context of all other application requirements; these include the GPA, letters of recommendation, and statement of intent. As such, a minimum required score has not been set. The TOEFL or IELTS score is required by the University for all international applicants. Further information and the minimum score requirements can be found at the UNM Office of International Admissions website. |
| Letter of Intent | Required. The presence of overlap of applicant's interests with the expertise of one or more of our faculty members is given a significant weight in terms of application acceptance decision. So, this statement should show clear evidence of such overlap. |
| CV/Resume | Please upload a current CV/resume with your application. |
| Assistantship Interest | If you are interested in a TA- or GA-ship, please complete the TA/GA Application Form and submit according to the instructions on the form. Please see the department website for information about Research Assistantships. |
| Recommendations | Three (3) letters of recommendation are required. The letters must be written by professional references such as instructors and supervisors, not friends and relatives. Letters should be submitted directly by your recommenders through the online system. Specific directions are included within the application system. UNM BSMEs with a GPA of 3.5 (or higher) on their last 60 credit hours of coursework have the option of submitting only two (2) letters of recommendation |
