I think I should point out that the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University is the most prestigious faculty of Thailand’s oldest and most famous university. Standards are kept very high by imposing an extremely rigid grading system and making it very difficult to graduate. For example, approximately 20 percent of all first-year students fail and are dropped from the University. In my graduating class of 140 students in Mechanical Engineering, only one received a degree with honors. My 2.88 GPA put me in the top 10 percent of my class. At many other institutions this level of achievement would have merited a first or upper second-class honors degree.
Moreover, my success in work is remarkable. In 1997, I was selected among 26 top sales staffs to handle major product having sales exceed 20m dollars. Because this position required a person who had not only to be good in sales & marketing but also to be a company representative to have a meeting with international company such as ALCOA.
I hope this information provides an interesting overview of my background and that the committee will recognize my potential as an outstanding candidate. I would like to assure the members that if I grant financial support, I will do all my best to contribute to the institute whether during my study or after graduation to enhance its reputation.
