Jaimin,
You should do what you can do, unless you want to keep this as backup option on a/c of default by the school in contacting you further. It is a good idea to send an email to Anna informing your decision declining the offer. If they have any more procedures, they will inform you! In the process, you would have cleared things from your side, and paved the way for someone else.

It has specifically been mentioned that acceptance via e-mail is not an option. The letter says that if I do not visit the link and confirm before 2nd June then it will be considered that I have not accepted the offer. No mention is made of any procedure to send not acceptance. So even after receiving the package, I am not sure if we can send them not acceptance via e-mail or just imply not acceptance by not confirming on the link.

@Waitlisted Applicants: You will surely see some waitlist movement after the 2nd June. Be patient till then and all the best.

@mealiennothuman

Just visit the link mentioned in your admission package. You would get the option to both accept or reject the offer. It's pretty straight forward and seamless.

Jaimin,
I wonder that why you have not received the package yet. Most of us who have been offered the admission received the package quickly. I found the post admission process to be one of the most seamless one. May be you could mail Anna and ask her for a soft copy, which they readily provide. This will ensure that even you could access the offer link and by making a decision provide some respite to few of the waiting souls.

Regards,
Puneet

I have done the needful as suggested by Puneet and conveyed my non-acceptance of the offer via the link.

got the mail today - did the needful... all the best to waitlisted candidates... hope to see you in Singapore!!!!

@Waitlisted Candidates: I am not sure if non-acceptance of the admission by me and Jaimin via the link will have the necessary effect so soon. Even though I visited the link a couple of days back and conveyed non-acceptance, just today I got an e-mail from Anna asking me to send my passport sized photographs to expedite the admission process. I have replied to her mail saying that I am not accepting the offer.

Hi all,

I want to know more about the scholarships offered in the Singapore management schools...i did get some info about the scholarships offered in
Nus and Ntu.

Question is - Will they let you know that you have got a scholarship before you are admitted or will they tell only after joining??

I am confused because i can't afford to pay the entire tuition fees and have to rely upon the scholorships from these universities.

Also, if someone knows about anyother business school offering scholorships please post them here...it would be of gr8 help

Thanks,
Shiva

Hi Shiva,

I had an admit from NUS as well as Nanyang. From what I have seen is that since the number of Indians applying to a school is usually very large, Indians are not offered scholarships at the time of the admit. Unless you have an exception profile, it's only when the applicant pool from a country is small that they offer scholarships with admit. Hence so far I have seen only applicants from Nepal and Vietnam being given scholarships along with admits. In case of HKUST till last year very few Indians used to apply, so HKUST used to give out scholarship along with admit to Indians. However, I also think that is partly because HKUST has high fees compared to NUS and Nanyang. So they offer scholarships to attract students.

In my case I was given a scholarship by NUS only yesterday, almost 6 months after receiving my admit.

All the best to you.
