PS The Statement of Purpose is a one to two page typed statement that answers the following questions: What are your reasons for undertaking graduate study in the ETIM program at Carnegie Mellon University? How does your work experience and education prepare you for graduate training in the ETIM MS program? What are your goals after you complete the M.S. degree, and how will our graduate program help you achieve your immediate and longer-term future career objectives? Applicant responses to the E&TIM Essay Questions/Statement of Purpose may be emailed to: etim@andrew.cmu.edu as files in PDF or Microsoft Word format. CV Applicants to the E&TIM program must submit an updated resume describing the applicant’s educational and professional background. Resumes can be submitted in several ways: by uploading an electronic copy to the resume submission option on the E&TIM page on the online application, by email (etim@andrew.cmu.edu), or by mail to the E&TIM admissions office address listed to the right. Fee The application fee to the E&TIM program is $65. Application fees can be paid by credit card using the E&TIM online application. Alternatively, application fees can be mailed to the E&TIM admissions office address listed to the right by check (made payable to Carnegie Mellon University) or international bank draft. Application fees are not able to be received by way of bank wire. RL Three letters of recommendation are required to be submitted by applicants to the E&TIM program. Letters are typically written by professors or work supervisors. At least one of your three recommendations must be from a professional experience and one from a professor at the educational institution last attended. For a letter of recommendation to be considered by the E&TIM graduate admissions committee, the recommender must complete a recommendation letter form. Letters of recommendation and recommendation letter forms can be submitted in two ways: by email through the E&TIM online application (to choose this method, an applicant must apply to the E&TIM program with the online application), or by mail, sent to the E&TIM admissions office address listed to the right. The E&TIM graduate admissions office will accept mailed letters of recommendation sent either by the applicant or directly from the recommender, but in either case the respondent must sign the letter envelope over the sealed flap. Transcript Applicants must submit official transcripts from both undergraduate institutions and any previous graduate work. For a transcript to be official, it must be sent to the E&TIM admissions office by the university where the studies were completed. If you are currently enrolled in a degree program that you have not completed at the time you submit your application, please submit your current transcript. An additional (final) transcript must be submitted upon completion of your work. You may expedite the processing of your application by submitting an unofficial copy of your transcript to the admissions office. An unofficial transcript can be submitted in several ways: by uploading an electronic copy through the additional documentation submission option on the online application, by email (etim@andrew.cmu.edu), or by mail to the E&TIM admissions office address listed to the right. If you upload unofficial transcripts with your application, we will review it. However, if you are offered admission, you will need to produce official transcripts prior to enrollment.
