Hello! I’m Vanshika. I graduated in 2023 with a B.Com (Hons.) from NMIMS with a 3.3/4 CGPA, and I have 2 years of work experience as a Strategy Analyst at a wealth management company.
I’m planning to apply to MBA programs this year. Given my tenure of work experience, what are my odds at NUS?
Hi Vanshika! Based on what you’ve shared, your profile is shaping up quite well for NUS, especially if you present it with intention and clarity.
A 3.3 out of 4 CGPA from NMIMS translates to a solid academic foundation, particularly if you performed well in quantitative or strategy-related coursework. NUS will want to see that you can handle the academic rigor, and your CGPA is within range, though not standout. If you can support it with a strong GMAT or GRE score, ideally 700 or above on the GMAT, it will help strengthen your profile and show academic readiness.
Your two years of experience as a Strategy Analyst in wealth management is a clear strength. NUS values analytical thinking, regional business exposure, and a global mindset. If your work involved client-facing responsibilities, problem-solving, or cross-functional collaboration, make sure to highlight that. What will matter most is how you frame your impact. Even with two years, if you’ve taken ownership of key initiatives or shown upward trajectory, it can stand out.
At this point, extracurriculars and leadership exposure outside of work would help round out your profile. If you’ve led initiatives within the company, mentored junior analysts, or engaged in volunteering or professional upskilling, these should be emphasized.
Overall, you have a competitive shot at NUS, especially if your goals are well articulated and the application reflects growth, clarity, and motivation.
