Graduate / Review of Why do you want to pursue an MS-MIS degree at Mays Business School? -Pallavi Thakur.. [12]

Hi Pallavi,

It good to see that you have mentioned the faculty members in essay. A piece of advise, Ms Robin Starnes is dean and you might not be interacting with her directly. I would suggest to remove her name from the list. Also, it would be great if you mention some of the publications or research of the professors mentioned. That would add to the credibilty that you have actually done research about them and are actually impressed by there work.

Also, @Vengispen, wouldn't it be nice if Pallavi mentions her short term and long term goal in the essay? I believe, goals, if clearly outlined, give a picture of awareness of candidate in the area of interest. Please do suggest.

Thanks,
Anuj

Hi Vengiespen and Pallavi,
Thanks for your time to go through my essay. Really appreciate your effort. I understand my essay was missing the hook and also the last para seemed unconnected. I have rewritten the essay in an attempt to cover both. Request you guys to please review this. All comments and criticism are appreciated.

Once, during my initial days in Information technology(IT) industry, I created an excel based macro to renumber the test cases names which reduced the rework time of a test engineer by test case preparation by about 10%. It was a basic record and play macro and yet, it proved to be big help for the team. This marked a pivotal moment in my understanding of IT, that it is not about coding or programming, this industry is all about improving the operation of companies. I am proud to say that I have continued to develop automation tools like KPI calculator, to help reduce the human efforts on mundane tasks.

I inculcated this pragmatic approach during college graduation while working on a project of designing IIR filters to suppress the digital noise using MATLAB. Though MATLAB was not the first high-level language I learned, but this was the first time I was introduced to the concept of using computer programming to control the functioning of the electronic circuit.

The drive for Master's is derived from my work assignment at the client location. I was working on Quality assurance of Campaign management and Sales and Marketing feature for a financial institution. The module was focused on increasing the sales by offering products to customers based on banking behavior and click through rates. These data subsequently gets analyzed and portrayed to business to highlight the area of maximum profit. The role of answering business questions using unstructured data motivates me to pursue advanced studies with the specification in Data analytics.

Thanks in advance. Hope to hear from you,
Anuj

Hi Pallavi,

while you do the changes, can you change the text 'TAMU' to Texas A & M. I have learned from one of the alumni that TAMU sounds unprofessional to adcomms

Thanks,

Graduate / Some light on my career - SOP for masters in management information science: Fall 2016 [3]

Hi Mohammed,

I think the essay is good. I believe there is a scope for improvement in the introduction. Can you support your first line, where you have mentioned your interest, with your inspiration or motivating force. I do not see a connect there.

Also, I think, it is better to start description of your current role in next para.

Thanks,
Anuj

Please provide a Personal Statement regarding how your academic achievements, personal interests, and life experiences have helped prepare you to succeed academically and to be an active member of the UC community. Be sure your response addresses each of the three components. (Please limit your response to approximately 250 words)

I graduated in Electrical and Electronics in engineering. It was overwhelming to learn the various subjects covering topics from low voltage microprocessor to High power turbines. I took on a project of designing IIR filters to suppress the digital noise using MATLAB. Though MATLAB was not the first high-level language I learned, but this was the first time I was introduced to the concept of using computer programming to control the functioning of the electronic circuit. This project developed in me the ability to use concepts of information technology in a pragmatic way.

Working with one of the India's biggest Information Technology firm, Infosys limited, for more than 5 years, I have had opportunities to work in several projects with multitudinous roles with clients and have seen them making an informed business decision using information technology. I have also learned that to advance in any job is to make oneself more valuable than what your position calls for and hence motivating me to pursue a Master's degree in Management of Information systems.

Inspired by the "People You May Know" feature of LinkedIn and coupled with my personal work experience of on Campaign Management and sales and marketing feature in banking domain, I am inclined towards presenting the unstructured data to clients and helping them with business questions and problem. The role of Data analysts and Data scientists has motivated to pursue a higher education in this field.
