Welcome! We have quite a vibrant group from Vietnam here. Just search for some of the profiles in the last couple of weeks and you’ll see quite diverse group group. You’re definitely in good company!

PS. I don’t know a whole lot about NUS but I think it’s definitely one of the top programs in Asia. I guess NTU could be another option. Are you applying to any other programs? Are you planning to work in Singapore in the ideal state?

Yes, I will apply to NTU. The reason I choose Singapore because I intend to return to Vietnam to work post-MBA (may be not immediately, but definite after graduation about 2 years). Actually, I want to go deep into digital transformation and innovation; given Singapore is the Asian innovation hub and the school's tie to the APAC market (also low cost as well), I want to go to NUS or NTU MBA.

Makes sense. There is a decent MBB presence in Singapore or I would rather say strong.

Coming from consulting/Big for background is great so you’ll definitely get picked for the interviews but keep in mind that interviews are really tough for MBB consulting. They’re pretty selective and very competitive. Often they start just a few months after you start school so very quickly.

I guess another option would be INSEAD. Singapore campus.

SMU is another solid option in Singapore although would rate it par with NTU and slightly below NUS. Consulting positions are there in SG although I have seen most of these filled by US B-schools / likes of INSEAD etc. Dont see a lot of presence of NUS MBAs there and my sense is most of them try for Fin focused roles.
