Graduate / My main goal is to learn and apply the learning's in life - SOP for Masters in Data Science [3]
Hi,
I'm applying for Masters in Data Science and have prepared the following SOP. Would love for people to review and share their feedback:
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
After working for more than eight years, I want to return to academic study and pursue my master's degree. This was a challenging decision for me, however being successful to me is not just about rising to a high position in the company hierarchy, but to be able to learn and apply the learning's in life.
I am a practical person and my understanding is prodded by seeing things work. I am a quick thinker and learner. I also believe in getting the basics right, enabling one to take on any task, no matter how complex it is. During my fourth semester in my bachelor's degree one of the papers was a project. We'd begun learning Java in the same semester and after discussing the options with our project guide, I decided to create an examination results website for our college using Java Servlets. This required using the GET and POST methods to retrieve and insert records accordingly. Right from setting up a server, connecting the database and writing the java code I performed all these tasks. It definitely was overwhelming at times when after doing everything correct it still wouldn't work, however perseverance, unalterable focus and help from my project guide kept me going to its successful completion. As my project area was different from the rest of the class, this got me spending more time trying to understand and implement a lot more than was expected from me.
Although it took me more time to complete my bachelor's degree than expected, I have now matured as individual and realized how I could've done certain tasks better. I learnt the importance of timelines and not giving up. In fact I explain and demonstrate my real life example to kids. I teach underprivileged children Math and English on as many weekends possible. Imbibing these qualities and implementing them in practice, I have gained knowledge in various fields such as Web Analytics (tools and techniques), Text Analytics (NLP and sentiment analysis), and analyzing different types of data (qualitative and quantitative) to generate meaningful and actionable insights.
I am interested in studying and gaining expertise in Machine Learning. In today's world, big data is becoming a reality fast and is extremely challenging to deal with, especially in the IT domain. Starting from customer acquisition data until the customer leaves an organization, the size and type of data
available for analysis and explanation is colossal and promising.
Conclusively I would say that your Institute has an international reputation, attracting students and aspiring graduates from across the globe for this course. With, top-rated teaching your university is firmly positioned at the leading-edge of dynamic performance. For the immediate future, I envision myself at your campus striving to become a successful student equipping myself with all the latest knowledge, and intellectual discipline to become a productive and competent professional in my field. Such a platform to interact with globally diverse student community will bring the opportunity to
learn cutting edge business tools and practices and will also prepare me to excel going forward.
