Application letter & Resume


Graduate Coordinator,
The United States of America

Dear Sir/Madam

I really desire in pursuing a master degree at Name of the applying university in Artificial Intelligence of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science program. I am currently pursuing the Bachelor of Computer Engineering at National University of Singapore, and my interested area is AI which is also a major branch of specialization of computer engineering.

Being a computer engineer undergraduate, I have achieved much experience and concrete knowledge of both Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, which enhanced me in both academic areas for combining them to build products consisting software and hardware. This is also a strong matching point with the program that I am applying for because they are both a combination of two majors. Computer Engineering is the wisest choice I have ever made. Through intensive and extensive projects during the CEG course, I have built up the solid basis with excellent individual and team performance for my future work and study in deeper and more specialized fields.

I always admire the breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and since I was a young child, movies and stories about robots have motivated me to put a lot of ambitions into my followed life decisions. I have a unique belief, which is that people who still remember their big childhood dream and pursue it are always the happiest and luckiest ones, moreover, the successful ones. If most people are commonly motivated by interests, then it is me myself that motived my interest. If most people are commonly focusing on the requirements and qualifications, then my belief keeps reminding me that children’s dreams do not have a limitation and here comes the possibility for the impossible for my life. Born in China, I have gone through the competitive College Entrance Examination before my turning point. The impossible came when I failed to get the desired major. However, children’s dreams always get a way out. Making up mind and fighting again for the dream won my possibility back. And this is why I am here in Singapore as a scholarship owner, making step-by-step milestones directly pointing to my dream. Thanks to Singapore, I can see the thin band bridging grown-up me and child me growing wider and stronger. And thanks to my dream, I feel the pushing power inside me no more clearly than now when I am writing this letter. Chinese has an old saying “Man struggles upwards, water flows downwards”. For me, dreams are there right in these two sentences.

Name of the applying university is my dream, but dreamers are not always lazy ones. I am a unique dreamer which dream of creating better dreams to motivate more people. I know Name of the applying university needs talents but dream can be talent if it comes a long way far from 10 years ago a young child’s heart. Sincerely thank you for reading this letter. I really hope there is a possibility for me to continue my dream and thank again for your consideration. Please contact me if there is anything else I need to provide. I look forward to communicate with you in the near future.

Yours Sincerely,
Yang Mo
