Yo...

NUS MBA application checklist shows all crosses except references but I distinctly remember them being check marks in the application before I submitted.

I have emailed the school to ask them whats going on.

Document checklist shows all the submitted documents needed.

Help! LMFAO... I hope this is not a dumb mistake on my part.

I was waitlisted in mid-December after interview. I have emailed them a couple of times but I am not getting any answers.

I got a response saying the checklist is that way because they are yet to verify the documents. I had gotten a quick profile check on Dec 1.

Yeah if the deadline for interview invites is Feb 17, they are for sure behind the schedule. Which means they must have been flooded with applications?

Anyone know a good resource to identify consulting firms in S'pore after MBA?

Hey, the website says the interview invites will be released by 17 February 2021 for FT R1, does that mean most of the invites have been rolled out already? Or will the invites be released simultaneously on 17th?

deekshawadhwa

From the decision tracker, I see a lot of interview invites already rolled out. So, I guess that means they will release the interview invites a few at a time till Feb 17th.

Thanks for the update. I don't think they are flooded with a lot of applications as I don't see the same on the decision tracker. Even though not all the people who have applied report it to the decision tracker, I see the numbers are more or less the same compared to the last year's numbers.

Did you check their careers page?

Yes, I did check their career page but no specifics there. Know of a good resource or forum where I can chat people up about the industry in Singapore in general? I know I got this backwards but had to get the applications out first.

Hi All,

I have applied for Part time MBA in NUS on 15th Feb and have not heard back yet. However, I have heard back from the other school that I applied. I am, hoever, quite inclined towards NUS and I was hoping to get a decision from them before the acceptance.
Any idea what I can do in this case? How long do they generally take?

Hello Everyone,

Any who has an admit already, I wanted to know how are you guys arranging for the funds? Are you applying directly to Prodigy Finance or through someone or applying elsewhere?

Any leads or guidance will be highly appreciated.

You can ask the other school for an extension of the deadline for acceptance but don't stretch it too much. In the worst case, you can pay the deposit there(with a possibility of losing it if you get an admit from NUS) and wait

Congratulations. That looks like a pretty fast turn around time

Do you know if this is the normal response time or you got fast-tracked somehow?

Hey, has anyone applied to NUS MSBA( Masters in business analytics) program for 2021 intake?
If yes, can you please suggest if you got an admit? Or an interview date? Or any response after submission of your application?

Also, is there any group mainly for msba applicants?

Both degrees come under business school only. Not sure if the process is slow or they have rejected the application.
When i mailed them so they just told me that checklist was updated. They didn't answer the question of application status though.
