Want to do an MBA in singapore!! NUS/NTU/SMU/SP JAIN?? [#permalink]
 04 Feb 2013, 01:59
Hi,
I am specifically looking to do an MBA from Singapore as i assume that the job prospects will be much better in Singapore post MBA
I recently had a look at SP Jain and SMU
Could any1 tell me the appeal of these two colleges and whether doing an MBA from these two colleges is a sensible thing
Below are my details:
-I have an experience in Finance of almost 4 years
-GMAT score of 600. How ever plan to take the GMAT again very soon
-Bachelor of commerce(honors) degree with excellent GPA
-Not really anything great to show under the extra curricular activities apart from a few table tennis honors
-Involved in community service in school and in college
-Not much international exposure professionally.
Would be great if someone could have advice whether this is a good enough profile to make it to top notch business schools provided i get a 700 on the GMAT this time around.
I am going to apply to NTU and NUS for the 2012-14 batch, are my chances decent enough to get through?
Guysss!!!need helpppppp
Regards,
Mohit Garg

I second WBC. You need a better GMAT and all else seems OK from a distance. There is a really good webpage at Aringo where you can gauge better your chances at different schools. Btw, I haven't understood, but are you applying for a 2013 start?

Unless you are a Singapore citizen or at the least a PR, I would suggest that you give a second look at the job prospects for foreigners in Singapore..

INSEAD is tough with your profile - unless you exhibit great leadership experiences with your work and multi-lingual proficiency (very important).
SP Jain is a good bet (Again, not sure about NUS/NTU as competition from Indian students are pretty high and you need to differentiate yourself)

Mohit Garg I am sailing in exactly the same boat , 4 + years of Exp in IT, Average Acads , decent extra curricular nothing much to show in leadership Giving GMAT on March 18, target score is 670+, as I feel I am under prepared and do not have enough time with New Job [:(] Just want to give a shot to NUS/NTU before march 31 deadline. I know its very bad approach to have just one week for essays Refree Report, etc etc but I am really short of time so wanted to take a chance. SP Jain - I have cleared SPJAT and then discarded SPJAT purely on the basis of no diversification at all . As its just an Indian B- school set up in Singapore with sky high Fees and they are just filling up the numbers this is what I feel from whatever research I have done. NUS\NTU\SMU -- All three good colleges but as some one pointed out bout Non - singaporean , offlately I some how feel its true but I would like it to be proven wrong somehow.Because I also Dream of working in singapore afterall INSEAD -- No second thoughts , just go for it if you think You can Regards, Abhinav

Hi,
My profile is similar too
Close to 6 years of work ex. all in finance and audit with Ernst & Young and Standard & Poor's
Chartered Accountancy degree

Visiting faculty for CFA batches at Pristine
Some ECA at company level
And the GMAT score is 600
Can somebody suggest whether I should apply to SMU for 2014 January batch or not.
Thanks

Hi Mohit, You must aim for 670+ GMAT, if you plan to apply in NUS, Nanyang & other colleges in Singapore. You may target AIM- Manila as well. Subsequently, you need to work hard on application essays and demonstrate leadership qualities, professional achievements and other aptitudes during final interviews. These are the deciding elements for admission in b-school. Feel free to post any other queries you might have. You may PM your details for assistance in school selection and profile evaluation.

I would suggest you to reconsider doing MBA from Singapore. Not a great job market over here and govt is tightening the regulations. Its getting difficult for foreigner to get management jobs.
