Sample SOP for Business Analytics in USA
The world of business is changing rapidly. Every sector is shifting towards digital processes to cope with the standards of the vehemently rising competition. Business Analytics is such a field that introduces digital platforms, virtual concepts and online approaches to facilitate companies for better decision making, expansion, and other growth-related purposes. I have developed an interest in the field, firstly because of my interest in business (generally), my academic ventures, project-based experiences and extracurricular endeavors, all of which collectively honed my set of skills and knowledge-base that are required to excel in the aforementioned discipline.
I passed my matriculation exam from ……. in 2018, with a score of ….. CGPA. I passed my intermediate exam from Narayana Junior College, in 2020, with a score of …. marks. I went on to pursue my graduation, in ….. (Taxation), 2023, from ….. College of Commerce, obtaining a score of …. CGPA, up until the fifth semester. As a student of commerce I have learned about subjects pertaining towards business studies, accounts and economics. Hence, I was able to derive some basic or fundamental knowledge about the discipline from my graduation period. Before moving into the other details of my academic and professional experiences, let me briefly state my reasons for traveling to the USA and pushing higher studies in Business Analytics.
The USA holds the beacon of educational excellence and brilliantly provides world-class facilities to students. The country has sustained an unparalleled legacy of globalization, successful businesses and digitization. The country’s position, when it comes to the provision of top-tier educational facilities, is simply what makes it the foremost preference for aspiring students like me to travel and study. The aforementioned university is a monolithic example of educational excellence. I was deeply moved by the practical orientation of its course structure, the expertise of the faculty and the elaborate nature of courses/subjects, wherein both theoretical and practical aspects have been bridged together adequately. I have gathered relevant information from both primary (alumni) and secondary (internet) sources, and I am indeed content with what I have learned about the university and the country’s plethora of educational provisions.
During my graduation-period I have studied core subjects like Business Organization, Financial Accounting, Indian Tax System, Income Tax Processes/Practices and more. Apart from the subjects I learnt in school/college, I went on to take an additional course in Python. I would like to place special emphasis on my project-based experience, where my actual skills on Business Analytics were put to test. The project was on the study of Customer Satisfaction towards using Uber’s Services. The experience eventually improved my analytical and reasoning skills. The discipline of Business Analytics is basically concerned with the processing and interpretation of business data, to aid any business/company towards the generation of effective solutions and decision-making processes. I worked along similar lines to appropriately learn about data management and interpretation. I am also fond of painting and dancing. These are outlets that enable me to hone my creative skills and develop my artistic sense.
I have completed my internship from 111ideas, during the month of January to June in 2023. The indulgence taught me the varied dynamics of an active-work environment, wherein I learned how to handle data, interpret, analyze and construct hypothetical frameworks as a practice. My managerial skills also received a significant boost because of my constant management of leads during the internship period. I was also able to hone my leadership and community-building skills during my time in college, whilst helping the organizing-committee set up and manage festivals, academic seminars, tech-fests, cultural events and so on. Working with teams and getting to meet diverse people from around the country is simply a refreshing and mind-opening experience. India’s cultural diversity is truly unique. Such indulgences improved my social skills and taught me the importance of inclusive values as well.
Other values that I hold on to are that of perseverance, hard-work, enthusiasm and sustainability. I wish to explore as much as I can and learn innovative concepts that challenge the conventional structures and recreate our understanding of things in an incredible manner. I wish to achieve my career goals with the presence of such values to further motivate me in life. I wish to recreate myself into a distinguished individual with recognised/acknowledged talents. I want to contribute towards the organization I work for, not merely to fulfill the daily requirement of tasks, but to actually apply business analytical tools in an innovative manner. In short, my goal is to contribute towards the pace of development and introduce new ideas/concepts/frameworks to the company’s foreground.
