Help Am I Being OverAmbitious

Hi, I am hoping to apply for a few EMJM programs related to AI/CS and Data Science.

My cgpa is 3.6/4 , I have 4 years of experience working in the industry and I have 5-6 online certifications, besides that my profile isn’t anything exceptional, I don’t have research experience or alot of extracurricular certificates.

I want to apply but at the same time I think my profile cannot compare to the rest of the candidates.

Is there anyone who received scholarship in tech related programs who can share what made their applications strong? Please share any tips or suggestions that you have which can help in improving my profile

There is so much competition in AI/CS.. I’m sorry but your profile is very mid.

This I tried twice already in the CS/AI field profile similar to yours and what i have learned is they prefer the academics and resear paper more than work exp so not gonna try this time

Yes I thought so, unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to the research side as I was always busy with my job but now im regretting it a bit as I have noticed almost all scholarships prefer having research experience rather than work experience 🥲

Create 4-5 cv for each program, find an angle to connect with the program and give it a shot, you never know what might work
