Graduate School Application Essay

Strive harder to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get – A golden rule that I have been following since my childhood, in turn helping me achieve all my goals with sheer persistence and determination.

Right from the start of my schooling, I have been passionate about science and mathematics because of their preciseness and logical theory involved. I passed out of 10th standard with 92.33% (School Topper) overall with 99 percent in Mathematics and 96 percent in Science. I’m extremely gratified by my results in Mathematics, as I maintained 99% score in the same till my under graduation. This interest made me take up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as core subjects in my higher secondary and also helped me score 92.6% in class 12. In IIT-JEE, a national level common entrance test for under graduation studies, I secured 8701st rank amongst all the exam takers who were more than 300 thousand in number.

That experience left me with some interest that captivated me to learn about all these components especially, generators and transformers. After some good guidance early on and being able to solve higher level engineering problems with ease, I found that I’m convenient with this branch of physics when contrasted with others and cogitated that this branch suits me. So, I picked Electrical Engineering as my major in Under Graduation. My curiosity and commitment have only grown upwards over the years and I enjoy mastering topics with pin-point
