Dear xx,
Acclaimed as a prodigy, I entered into one of China’s Ivy Leagueuniversities at 14 and joined the country’s topmost scientific researchinstitution as a graduate student at 19. Now an experienced engineer at 26, Iwould like to scale still higher intellectual heights by undertaking advancedstudies that I hope would put me firmly on the cutting edge of scientificdevelopment.
I have demonstrated a keen mind since my early childhood. For years, Iconsistently outperformed all of my classmates in such challenging subjects asmathematics, physics and chemistry. I was thus chosen to represent either myschool or my city in a variety of provincial and national contests of academicskills, in which I won numerous prizes. This impressive academic record put meon academic acceleration several times. That not only enabled me to finish myprimary and secondary education in eight instead of the usual twelve years butalso sent me at 14 to a privileged class for the gifted at the ChineseUniversity of Science and Technology, a major cradle of the country’s scientificand technological talents.
After two years of basic training in the gifted class, I chose electricalengineering as my major and computer software programming as my minor, convincedthat expertise in these fields would stand me in good stead in an era of China’srapid economic expansion and technological modernization. As you can see fromthe transcripts of my undergraduate grades, I excelled in both of theseareas.
Upon graduation in 1991, I won easy acceptance into the Institute ofElectronics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and became a graduate studentat 19, when most Chinese students would be just starting their universityeducation. At this institute, I narrowed my academic interest down and focusedit on the area of human and artificial intelligence, where the courses I tookwere deliberately concentrated. It seemed to me that scientific breakthroughswould next come in this area, which made it both challenging and promising. Ilearned a whole lot about this area in the course if doing my thesis titled “TheRadio Shunting System in Railroad”, for which some experiments were conducted onthe basis of artificial intelligence.
My solid education paid off in my ability to take on a variety ofresponsibilities in China’s burgeoning software industry. After I obtained myMaster’s Degree in Engineering in 1994, I first took up a job with atelecommunication company, where I managed a trunk communication system thatresembled the cellular wireless system. A year later, I joined a softwarecompany to develop CMIS program for China’s Post and TelecommunicationsMinistry. It was a large project, and I made crucial contribution to it byindependently developing and finalizing one subsystem, which proved to be asignificant success and won me profuse appreciation from users. After thecompletion of that project, I have been working for the Japan Brother Ltd. inthe area of software development.
The relative smooth path of my career notwithstanding, I have not had achance to lead a major project, although I have always finished my part of everyproject immaculately. In spite of all my achievements, I feel that I have nottaken the full advantages of my intellectual capabilities. I now wish to pursuestill more advanced studies and thereby obtain an advanced degree so that I canopen more doors and shoulder greater responsibilities.
I believe I have acquired the necessary theoretical framework andsufficient practical experience for further studies. My ability to teach myselfand conduct independent research allows me to attain competence quickly in areasthat I may at first know very little about. I never work just to finish anassignment, but instead I always try conscientiously to improve my knowledge andexpertise through the work I do. In this fashion, I have become seasoned in suchfields as trunking system (telecommunications) and CMIS system (software). Thisquality should help me as I seek to further upgrade my education, particularlyif I have ready access to the seasoned guidance of a strong faculty and theconvenience of state-of-the-art research facilities.
The University of Idaho is well known for its excellence in the E. E field,complete with an accomplished faculty and modern research resources. Theseshould set a good stage for me to exercise my keen mental power and diligence.If I am accepted, I am confident that I can make quick progress in the E. Efield, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence, image processing,wireless communication, neural network and computer networking, which have manycharacteristics in common and share many important principles. Due to the broadapplications of these technologies, I believe the progress we make in theseareas will help shape the future of the mankind. I would like t be at theforefront of such progress.
As I am broadly grounded in EE and computer science, you may find mequalified or more qualified for advanced studies in areas other than those Ihave mentioned. If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me knowany suggestions that you may have.
I wish to assure you that I have the necessary English language skills tocomplete advanced studies in your Ph. D. program. I generally read or writeEnglish without any difficulty. I have, over the years, not only read academicor professional materials in English avidly but also memorized the wholeEnglish-Chinese dictionary. There may be room for improvement in my oral Englishand English listening comprehension. But I am sure my English proficiency issufficient for me to undertake advanced studies and research. Besides, I believeI can improve my oral English by leaps and bounds once I start to live in anEnglish-speaking environment. All that I need to do is to set my mind free.
I plan to return to China after the completion of my Ph. D. studies eitherto teach at one of the larger Chinese universities or to lead a high-techcorporation.
Yours sincerely,
