I had my interview on 7th Feb. Not yet heard from NUS. When do you typically get a call for the 2nd interview? Did anyone else give the preliminary interview on 7th?
Hi., when did u submit your application and what were the dates by which your referees submitted their report? Just want to know the time frame for receiving a call - how did yr pre-interview go? can u share some insights?
Sure, submitted my application on January 19th with the recommendation complete by the second week of January.
Invited to interview on 6th Feb
Preliminary interview on 7th Feb -
A 15 minute interview. What took me by surprise was the pace of the interview. A blast of 11-12 questions in the space of 15 mins. Maybe measuring your ability to think on your feet? I do not know. Most questions were common like Elevator Pitch, Why MBA and Why NUS.
The other not-so-common questions were -
If you were to have a masala-chai with a celebrity, who would that be? (I picked Roger Federer, should have chosen Bill Gates or Alibaba, considering its a business school interview
)
Three cities you would work in?
Any questions?
Again, I said NO Questions. The questions were so fast and the No was more of an instinctive response. I was prepared with a couple of questions to ask, but did not ask any when it mattered the most
She said shell hand over the feedback to the adcom and they will reach out to you.
