PERSONAL STATEMENT
By applying for Ph. D. studies at your university, I am seeking to fulfill a childhood dream to understand and appreciate the wonders of nature. Born and brought up in a small city on the Yun-Gui plateau in southwest China, I was full of curiosity in my childhood as I observed the dramatic weather changes there. In this city surrounded by mountains, seasons would come and go with clear-cut perimeters.

È4¯bbs.eduglobal.comì^Qbiz@With a mystified mind, I graduated in 1989 into the Nanjing Institute of Meteorology to major in synoptic dynamics. The institute offers probably the best academic programs of its kind in China. As a highly motivated undergraduate, I took 21 courses in meteorology, scoring an outstanding GPA of 91.53/100 (3.79/4). In related subjects such as mathematics, physics and computer science, I did well, too, scoring a GPA of 90.91/100 (1.69-4). My overall GPA ranked the second among about 110 students of my year, winning me the Institute Scholarship for 4 consecutive years. In 1992, I was designated an Excellent Student, the highest honor of the school, given to only one student of each grade in four years.

È4¯bbs.eduglobal.comì^Qbiz@Upon the completion of my undergraduate studies in 1993, my excellent academic records won me easy acceptance into a graduate program at a research center jointly run by the Chinese Academy of Meteorology Sciences and the Nanjing Institute of Meteorology. I worked under the supervision of my advisor, the distinguished Professor Ding Yihui, vice-chairman of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences and now chairman of National Climate Center. I kept myself informed of the latest meteorology findings by reading a wide selection of reference materials, among which are Atmospheric Sciences, Acta, Meteo, Sinica. Under the seasoned guidance of Professor Ding and other noted meteorologists, whom I engaged in regular discussions at seminars and other occasions, I conscientiously trained myself in independent research. I would take care of the nitty-gritty of any projects on my own. Building upon my undergraduate record, I scored a graduate Study of Heavy Rainfall Influenced by Typhoon No.9406 was not only highly rated by my professors but also published in…
