Statement of Purpose

Must be sounding very ordinary now, but for a third grader it was very fascinating to envision, how a click on a computer could bring the entire world on screen. This fascination developed my curiosity toward computers at very early age. And before I could see it my parents recognized my inner potential and bought me a computer in days when it was definitely not a household name. If I remember correctly I was among the very few to have PC and for me it wasn’t an application device but it was a whole new world of opportunity. Today when I look back I knew that I have the vision in me to participate in the global movements of technology. All this has been possible because of the environment, in which I was exposed to frequent discussions about the global stock market, economic policies, importance of technology and entrepreneurship.

My schooling was a perfect amalgamation of academics, sports and extracurricular activities. Right from my schooling I had always been curious about how the things and processes inside a computer work. My schooling introduced me to Mathematica, Pascal, HTML and Database Management [MS Access] and hence my inclination toward field related to computers became stronger. My knowledge and grip over Mathematics, Science as well as other logical subjects helped me secure 88.86% in 10th grade, 81.40% in 12th grade. This got me admittance to Bachelors, in Computer Engineering at Nirma University, one of the prestigious institutes in India.

My undergraduate program has covered almost an entire spectrum of the core technical courses of Computer Science and programming but the subject “Mobile Computing” and the fundamentals of database systems in the subjects “Database Management System” became my area of interest...

... that I always wanted to learn and I certainly think that the graduate studies are absolutely essential to enhance myself. Initially, I was little confused about which university to choose but after going through profile of Jernej Barbic whose research area of interests are Computer Graphics, Animation and Simulation; I got a firm and positive opinion about studying and working under the guidance of USC professor. Moreover, I am highly motivated towards the MS CS program at USC and it fits me best. I hope that my credentials are appropriate enough for admittance to the MS CS program. After the completion of my master’s program, I aim to pursue Ph.D. program at your university and I am confident enough that it will enable me to contribute greatly to the development of the University, society and the world at large.

Thank you for the consideration of my application.
