Hi @cool_prateek . You have supplied only part of your profile data. ALL MBA programs look at your entire profile, which in addition to your academics looks at your work ex. Your GMAT is higher than the NUS average. However, this year onwards, NUS will be considering your IR score as well. Since NUS is a finance oriented school, they will require you to show a good quant background - either through curriculum in college, or work ex, or GMAT score. Like application to any other MBA program, you need to have great essays - which make you stand out from the crowd, and good letters of recommendation, to get shortlisted for the interview. Good luck!

Does anybody understand the application deadlines? I mean, my understanding is that 15th November is the deadline for Indian candidates. Is this correct?

Could some one shed some light on how to go about answering the 3 NUS essay questions?

where in the application does one mention extracurricular pursuits...what if an achievement is not a publication, award, prize or membership? How does one mention it?

Hi,


I'm a current NUS MBA student and I'll be happy to help in answering any specific questions you might have on the school and anything about it.

There is a specific thread for this so I would recommend you maintain PG rules (and the sanctity of this thread!) and ask your questions there. Please read my first post on that thread for my intro.

Can anyone in this forum guide me on the documents to upload for Financial support? I will be taking a loan partly the remaining will be supported by my parents and personal money. Since banks give loan only based on admissions how do I provide proof here?

16

Guys, no where in the application essays did I find a question that asked 'Why NUS'! Is it just me or NUS has really not asked this question? Savings this for the interview perhaps?

17

Hi Piyush,

I saw that the NUS essay gives a limit of maximum of 3500 characters, but going through various blog, I see the essay limit being given as 1800 character or 300 words...Am I missing something here?
