Sample SOP for MS in Computer Science in the US
Sample Statement of Purpose for MS in Computer Science applicants targeting US universities with engineering background.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
We are really in the center of an advanced and PC renaissance that will significantly affect our exercises and may even change being human. I'm elated with regards to the prospect of committing my long and effective vocation to such an enthusiastic, quickly developing field. I've generally appreciated fiddling with PCs and exploring different avenues regarding various projects since I was a child. Since my reality has practically covered with the introduction of the contemporary registering area, I am sure that there will be much more huge headways in this subject later on. It was sensible for me to pick Computer Science as my undergrad major.
There is only one obvious getaway for my postgraduate studies: the United States, which is the epicenter of the technological realm. The United States has been the leading generator of computational technology, with the most innovative and profitable organizations situated there. Learning in the United States will provide me with a wider variety of comprehensive capabilities and a much broader, more global outlook. Therefore, I am applying to MS in Computer Science program at [UNIVERSITY_NAME], which will start in the fall of 2022. Thinking about my tremendous scholarly and expert history, which I will examine exhaustively hereunder, I am sure that I am sufficiently equipped for the requests of trying out your lord's program.
My education involvement has armed me with an extensive variety of application skills and understanding that will come in handy when I begin graduate school abroad. I completed my undergrad from [UNIVERSITY_NAME] (2016-20), in B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). CGPA 7.666. I thrived in physics, mathematics, and chemistry studies as a high scholar, with my 10th-grade marks being 97% and 12th marks being 98.2%. My undergrad degree covers many other courses and core computer science courses like Operating Systems, Data Structures, Analysis of Algorithms, Computer Architecture, Software Engineering, Database Management Systems, Computer Networks. All through this time, I was fortunate to have educators who perceived my energy for these disciplines and pushed me to seek after augmenting my logical information and sharpening my scientific reasoning. I selected to study Computer Science at school to an impressive degree due to their assistance and guidance. I adored concentrating on coding and computational demonstrating as an understudy, and gratitude to my strong logical skill, I dominated in classes like math, measurements, and differential conditions. Notwithstanding my specific PC foundation, I presently like the field's limitlessness and essentially boundless freedoms for extra review.
Aside from the classes I've completed, I've been quite involved beyond the classroom, engaging in extracurriculars and seeking new encounters to challenge myself and extend my perspectives. I have participated in various inter and intra college coding competitions and secured 3rd place in a competition named [COMPETITION_NAME] in College's technical fest ([FEST_NAME]) and received a cash prize. I received perks from a Startup company for designing aesthetically appealing layouts and animations for the website. Additionally, I received a full-time offer from [COMPANY_NAME] after eight months internship. This is a proud movement for me, and the trust they kept in me is incredible. My tool is still live and used by many experts from [COMPANY_NAME] Print Division in India, USA, Spain, etc., which makes their work easier. I'm presently positive about acclimating to new conditions and drawing in with people who appear to be unique from me. These abilities will prove to be useful while I instruct in the United States.
Additionally, my other achievements include receiving the best speaker award and the best role taker award in [ORGANIZATION_NAME] club ([CLUB_NAME]). Being a sports person, I was a district-level football player and a semifinalist in the inter-college [TOURNAMENT_NAME] Football tournament in 2018. Besides this, I represented the college in many events. Participating actively in various events at college helped me discover several aspects of personality in a better light. Moreover, while at college, I was the maker of my specialization's bulletin, a position I took to contact new companions and make new capacities. As these experiences illustrate, I am unimaginably spurred and forceful when procuring new abilities and having new experiences. That is the reason I have decided to additional test myself by seeking a graduate degree in the United States.
During my internship at [COMPANY_NAME] (JAN 2020 - SEP 2020), I worked on the "[PROJECT_NAME]." This tool captures and processes logs data coming from the printer, visualizes each thread's data on the timeline present on the webpage for multiple processors (cores). The language used is JavaScript. The libraries used are Backbone JS and Require JS. I was introduced to opportunities to improve my abilities and broaden my knowledge in computer science. With industry-tested computer science abilities, I opted to pursue higher study in the same sector. Even after securing a full-time job at [COMPANY_NAME] as a Software Engineer (Firmware) at [COMPANY_NAME] (MNC company), where I worked on the "[PROJECT_NAME]" project, which establishes a connection between Engine (Hardware) and Dune firmware (latest firmware) through TCP/IP using Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) with the help of Google Protobufs inside the [COMPANY_NAME] printers, I took responsibility in actively participating in debugging several critical and ambiguous bugs in "[PROJECT_NAME]" (contains a sequence of components communicated with interfaces) in the Printers. I participated in an annually conducted "[EVENT_NAME]" by presenting the print flow through PowerPoint Animations and received laudable applause from the audience, team members, and managers. Your institution's research programs, curriculum, and technically talented faculty enticed me to apply for a Master's in Computer Science here.
[UNIVERSITY_NAME] provides an interactive and attractive platform for creating individual abilities and following personal ambitions by setting several objectives. I would use every chance to progress in the computer science field with several of my talents, perseverance and devotion.
In terms of my long-term objectives, I intend to implement everything I learned in the United States into the technology business in my home country. Although this business is fast expanding and showing great promise, it is presently developing compared to other, more industrialized nations. I hope to obtain the competence, insight, and understanding essential to guide our economy into a new era by enrolling in your master's program and potentially operating in the United States for a short time. I anticipate that this Master's Program will help me become a successful, innovative professional and accomplish my goals.
