Dear Sir/Madam,
Technology has always astounded me with its endless possibilities, especially given the
advancements and how connected we are to the cyber world at all times. Like the reusable rockets
founded by the SpaceX company. With that being said, I am intrigued to apply for an undergraduate
program in Computer Science to further expand and deepen my cognizance through Talent Scouting, as I
believe it is one of the most flexible ways of applying to the prestigious Universitas Indonesia.
In my opinion, Universitas Indonesia (UI) is the perfect institution for anyone who desires to have
a well-rounded education that is coupled with world-class research opportunities. As the oldest and most
prestigious university in Indonesia, UI is renowned for its academic excellence and the high-quality
research that is produced by its faculty and students.
Computers have fascinated me since I was young; I possess a deep passion for exploring their
capabilities and even went as far as learning how to fix and build one by myself. Despite their compact
and portable design, these machines are powerful tools that can enhance our daily lives in countless ways.
From creating stunning graphics and analyzing data to editing photos and videos, the processing power of
computers knows no bounds, not to mention the astonishing things you can do with programming to
improve lives and create innovations.
I have a great interest in technological developments and the competency to think logically and
systematically, it is something that gives me adrenaline because of the challenge it presents to me. It
makes me an individual with a large understanding of the digital world, thus it became the basis for why I
finally chose the computer science major.
My desire in pursuing Computer Science collides with my excellent people skills.
Communication, social assertiveness, confidence, and influence are the few I master. Being intensely
involved in the student council both in middle school and high school, I had the pleasure of becoming the
sport and business division leader in charge of managing and leading my division to success; while being
a role model for others, especially for my division’s members. The tasks for these divisions were far from
easy, but with hard work and dedication, we managed to get the job done efficiently.
Not only that, taking part in an international conference about climate change organized by the
Generation Global Organization, participated by students from the United States, Bangladesh, India, and
Indonesia further sharpened my communication skill.
In the same way as I master people skills, the academic skills I possess are equally excellent.
Being gifted with an extraordinarily rational mind and a wide knowledge base, I have no difficulties
catching and taking the lessons I receive in school. Not only that, my interest in Elective Mathematics
goes back to my early years in school and has only grown through the years. Hence, I participated in the
national Al-Azhar Science Olympiad and emerged as a finalist in astronomy; Therefore, I believe I have
the capabilities and perspicacity to take on the complicated subjects and challenges that come with
pursuing this major.
These experiences provided invaluable lessons necessary to succeed in this major. With that being
said, I am used to performing well in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment as well as being used to
finding solutions from different perspectives and developed a tenaciousness to exceed all of my assigned
targets, hence I believe pursuing Computer Science is the best option for me that leads to future
prosperity.
I am fully aware of the importance of electronic devices. I'm disturbed by the news stories about
educational inequality, where many students are unable to use gadgets because a variety of factors cannot
be helped. If accepted into UI's Computer Science study program, it would not just be about whom I will
become; my contribution would also have an impact on society as a whole. In describing my real value to
society, I will include information on how technology has improved my education and career prospects.
The vocation that I want to take after studying at UI is as a Computer Scientist who works in a
company concentrating on business. Because for me, In this era of the industrial revolution, I believe that
digital intelligence requires the expertise of information system technicians with extensive experience and
a strong foundation in digital intelligence, making the skills of information system technicians essential.
In other words and on a larger scale, as a Computer Scientist, I indirectly participate in advancing
Indonesia’s economy and technology. Based on the facts in recent times, the Indonesian economic sector
has been firmly fortified by equitable development based on the progress of the digital industry in the
industrial revolution and well-managed computer science innovations could help in amending the
technical side of resource management.
In conclusion, my passion for computers and my skills in communication, people management,
and mathematics has led me to pursue a degree in Computer Science at the prestigious Universitas
Indonesia. The university's academic excellence and world-class research opportunities align perfectly
with my goals and aspirations. With my education, I hope to become a Computer Scientist who works in a
business-oriented company to help advance the Indonesian economy through the development and
management of innovative technological solutions. I believe that by pursuing this major, I can make a
meaningful contribution to society while also achieving personal growth and success. I am confident that
my passion for technology, personal qualities, and experiences make me a deserving candidate for
admission. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Gading Aditya Perdana
