Hey everyone! I'm happy to share that I got the admit today. I would like to thank this community. I've always been a viewer, thought I could share my experience in this forum.
I had applied for round 2 on the last date, 16th Jan. I got the interview invitation mail on 7th Feb for my interview scheduled on 10th Feb. Unfortunately there weren't any slots available for that date, so I got another invite mail on 9th Feb for Interview on 13th Feb. This time I was able to book a slot.
My interview was conducted by a member of the Adcom and an Alumni from the 2019 batch. The interview was mainly around my past accomplishments, motivation (why MBA?, Why now?, Why NUS? etc), career plan, strengths & weaknesses and a couple of situational & behavioural questions (best team and why?, biggest accomplishment? etc). Both the adcom member and alum were actively asking questions and follow-ups. I have done 2 prior masters, a PGDM from India and a MSc Strategy from Netherlands, so was also asked about how those courses impacted my career and why do I feel like I need an MBA.
Overall the interview was very pleasant and felt like a regular conversation.
I received my offer (no scholarship yet) on 24th Feb. So just over a month for the entire process. They have given me sufficient time, i.e. till 10th March to accept the offer and make the token payment.
My profile is as follows:
GMAT: 760
TOEFL: 114
Bachelors & Masters GPA range: 3.0-3.2/4
Nationality: Indian
WE: 3 years 3 months
Best of luck for everyone who's still in the process of applying or waiting to hear back! May the force be with you!
