My commiserations to those who did not get through; I am certain that you will get into another school that better suits your requirements.
Heartiest congratulations to the admits. All the best for the scholarships. Any Singapore-based admits keen to meet up?

Has anyone heard back on the scholarships? According to the website, the Said scholarship decision has been made for Round 1. Not sure if no news = no scholarship.

Also, has anyone started researching colleges?

Hi,
I'm applying to Said in round 2, and have a question regarding the CV. In the application form, it says 'create a CV using the template provided here as a guide'. Does that mean the CV has to be in the exact same format that is shared or we can use the format used in other colleges?

The CV template is just a guide. Keep it a one-pager and make sure you incorporate all the elements they are asking for.

Time to wake up this quiet thread !

Those who had applied in Round 1, please share the updates. Did you get an admission? How was the interview?

Hope to see a few replies at least!

Hi guys,

I am aiming to apply for Round 2 at SBS. I had a few questions that I am sure you be able to answer. One of my recommenders is not available to submit the letter by 5th, does anyone have any information if SBS would still consider my application in R2 if everything else is submitted on time along with one recommendation?

Also, I gave GRE and Toefl earlier in the year. Do I need to send the official scores to SBS for my application to be reviewed or will they do the interview on my uploaded score report and require the official reported score later in the process?

Thank in advance to anyone who could help out with these.

Hi Jbh, I am not an expert regarding this but I ran into a similar problem and I explained it to the SBS people. And believe me they are pretty fast in responding along with a feasible solution (except if they are travelling or on break). God speed!

Hey guys, anyone applying for R2 know what the actual deadline is? I know its the 5th of Jan, but what time precisely? I couldn't find any info on their website.

Thanks!
