Any Update on this, have they released the Essays?

I have been constantly checking. But, I think they'll release the essays on August-end.

They are out. Just checked today.

Both carry equal weight and the test scores are just one of the many criteria.

From NUS website:

All applicants are required to take either the GMAT or GRE exam, regardless of their academic or professional background. We do not have a minimum score required for admission as standardized tests are just one of several admission criteria.

A high GRE score does not guarantee admission, and a below-average GRE score does not eliminate a candidate. Scores may be self-reported; however, when you receive an offer of admission, official scores will then be requested for verification.

Hope it helps

Silly question I know, but can anyone tell me the correct program from the drop down. I am targeting the normal NUS MBA

Programme Type: Coursework
Faculty *: NUS Business School
Programme*: ??

When I choose the MBA Semester AY20/21, I can see just 2 drop downs choices, Real Estate and Healthcare. As such I am in confusion.
Please help.

Hi punksin007, I have attached the screenshot for your reference. You can leave that option empty.

Hope this helps.

PS: A question silly to others, might not be silly to you ;)

Hi,

In Test Details section, when I select GMAT, the form asks for Reference Number. Is this the GMAT ID or Appointment Number? Most other applications have asked for GMAT ID so wanted to clarify this.

In the NUS full-time MBA application form, where do we need to upload the resume? There is no section where it explicitly calls out to upload resume. Do I upload it in the "Documents upload" section?

I mailed to the admissions team asking the same but I have not got any reply.

Great! I'll also shoot them a mail. Please share their response if you hear from them.

I have uploaded all remaining things from the Checklist in the "Documents upload" section. I guess that's the only option. Name the documents clearly as to what they represent. That should do in my opinion.

Hey Guys, I have a doubt. Does the mail goes to your recommenders for recommendation after you submit your application or as soon as you enter their email?

The mail goes as soon as you submit your recommender's email address.

Instructions
Please refer to instructions from the Faculty / School on the number of referees to assign for this application.
Your referee(s) will be receiving an email notification on submission of referee report immediately after you have submitted your application online.
The deadline of submission of referee report will be 14 days from the date of email notification.


These are the instructions on the website, does this mean email notification will go only after submission of application and will have a 14 days window?

Ah. Sorry, my bad. Yes, the email will go once you submit your application and has a 14-day window from the time you submit your application.
