Calling all NUS Applicants - (2015 Intake) - Class of 2017

Well it was quite an interesting interview unlike most of my interviews with American schools. It started off with them asking for my Elevator Pitch. It then went on to why I would want to pursue my MBA, why I don't want to stick to my current industry, some things related to my goals, my company, how I would provide a branding strategy for one company to compete with another big one with a lower market share, what problems I faced or what my learnings have been in my difficult times.

Then there was more stuff about what my target companies and markets are, what more responsibilities I got with each promotion, and why the company thought I deserved this over others. Why I did not go for a dual MBA program considering my interests was also a dicey question asked. Why am I targeting only certain types of companies was asked at the end. Then questions from my side.

This was more or less it. I don't remember the exact details as I was in euphoria for receiving an offer just last night from Imperial!

thank you so much good luck! and congratulations for Imperial

+1 on Ankur's comment - Debrief please

I think mine t was really quick with NUS. I submitted application on Feb 1, 2015. Interview was on Feb 26 and decision on March 9, 2015. I had the HKU deadline so I requested for an early decision and I think they obliged.

Interview was good, conversational with Professor Nitin and Chua. It has been a while so I dont remember much but it was largely about my current employment in my family business - opportunities, threats, competitors, what are my goals, how will NUS help.me achieve my goals, what will i contribute to the program, why MBA, etc. Also other than academics what will I focus on in the programme (i spoke about clubs of my interest). the interview started with a 1 minute pitch on why NUS and why MBA. I also mentioned the NUS current students and alums I connected with, which they were glad about.

Sounds to be a great interaction. All the best at NUS.

I too was interviewed on the 26th and got an offer today. Still thinking about it.

So hang on people, offers are being rolled out.
