2. What about cost of laptop etc? Is that included in the estimated expenses they have given ? Atleast I did not see it in the FAQ's. Also, is there any specific configuration ? And are there tie ups between the university and the laptop manufacturers so that students get better deals ? or does it make sense to buy one frm India itself ?
3. I tried to click on the link for online payment, but it opened up my application homepage in which the status still says interview and I did not find any link to pay  . Have any of u paid online ??? Making a draft and all is a BIG overhead
4. The admit e-mail from April Ngern says that the tentative date of orientation is 28th july and that the program commences on august 29th . I am a little confused regarding this.if orientation is on 28th july , does that mean tat i have to be in Shanghai by then ? And if so, what will we do for one complete month !!! - this has kinda psyched me out since I have not even resigned yet !
5. Are there any gals who have accepted this till now? or am i gonna be d first one ???  ( this ones not gonna change my decision , just asking for information  )
Please Help !!! And pray tat online payment thing works.. i gotta accept and send all the stuff by 26th june !!! No TIME  |
Hi Pragnya
Don't mind my short answers - am in a little hurry
1) medium of instruction -english
2) laptop - preferable to get your own. it is not covered in the fees. About tie-ups between univs and manufacturers, good point - best to ask the univ themselves.
3) link for online payment - I had the same problem too. Just send a mail to April and Richard (NUS admissions folks)...and they'll enable it.
4) dates of the course - please see :
A-MBA
5) there are other "gals" (you seem to be the only Indian gal though) .....get into the S3 yahoo groups:
http://www.s3-asiamba.com/listener.do and you will see many of the other candidates who have joined.
