I had never seen my parents happier than they were on that day – the day when the JEE results were declared and it came to everyone’s knowledge that I had secured a descent enough rank and earned a spot in the prestigious IITs. However, I was far from satisfied. I had to take up a major in Mechanical Engineering due to my not so great rank, despite being extremely ionate about learning Computer Science and Robotics. Being a math and gaming nerd from childhood, my ion for Computer Science was natural. I therefore struggled hard in my first year to get myself in college top 7 in first year exams and had my branch changed to Computer Science. But I was not the one to rest. I soon discovered that the course curriculum at IITs is quite rigid with little focus on hands-on learning, which is the method I love to learn by. Moreover, there is insufficient coverage of courses like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning – topics I like the most. When I went through the breadth of offerings in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Graphics and Human Computer Interaction courses and the flexibility of courses offered at UIUC, I was thoroughly impressed. From numerous and cutting edge computer labs, to specially dedicated groups in AI like the Beckman Institute and Language Processing Groups, there are opportunities that will allow me to achieve my academic goals at Illinois, that would be otherwise unavailable. I could, therefore, take courses which were inaccessible in a stiff curriculum. Although IIT-G does not have UIUC’s range of courses or the focus on AI, I have studied under some wonderful professors who have imparted me the value of pursuing my interests come what may and its’ these values that bolster my decision to transfer. My reasons for transferring, therefore, are completely academic, save one. I initially went to IIT-G because of the highly competitive academic environment of the IITs in general. I’m now looking forward to pushing myself to expand my social skills by coming into with the diverse international and American community at your college. As my transcript shows, I have done great at IIT-G and I am convinced I can meet the academic challenges of UIUC. I know I would grow at UIUC, and your program in Computer Science perfectly matches my academic interests and professional goals. OR I look forward to collaborating directly with my professors on their AI research, and working towards being a critical and valuable member of Carnegie Mellon’s computer science community.
