NUS MiM / CEMS MiM: Jan 2021

Hi everyone!
I've received my offer for NUS MIM!
Would like to connect

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if anyone that interviewed in early July (8-9) got their offer/rejection/waitlist? Interviewers said that it would take them between 2-3 weeks and we're currently approaching the end of week 3 and nothing yet.
Cheers!

Hi !
Me and a friend of mine, we had our interview on the 8th and still haven’t heard back from NUS.

We are also wondering if anyone from those date received an offer lol

Let us know, it’s starting to feel like a long time.

Hello Guys,

I have recieved an interview call from NUS for my MIM programme today. Could anyone help me out with what sort of questions should I expect during the interview?

Thanks.

Hi!

Personally, my interview was quite tailored around my profile, especially around my graduate studies at LSE in political economy. The interviewer asked me about my dissertation (methodology, findings etc), courses and opinion on different political systems (i.e. pros and cons of majoritarian vs PR, differences within the democratic rule of countries of my origin - Italy and Turkey - compared to Singapore).

As for the “standard questions”, you should be ready to motivate why NUS, why management (i.e how this programme fits within your goals), what you intend to do later and why Singapore (or Asia for that matter).

Hope this helps!

Hi All,

Just completed my interview. Wanted to post a debrief to give back to this awesome community.

Interviewers - 2 (1 Professor and 1 Adcom) went on for about 30 mins.

The Interview was fairly conversational and casual. I had actually prepped quite a lot but was fairly straight forward (Dont know what to make of it). Wasnt a blind interview and thy had gone through my resume and application before.

Following were the questions:

1) Brief overview of profile
2) Why MBA now?
3) Why Singapore / NUS?
4) looking at your profile, what exactly do you feel an MBA will provide which you already dont have
5) In case after the MBA you are forced to go back to India, how successful would you view your experience to be
6) How have interacted with people of different nationalities at work and what difference did you observe?
7) Apart from work what all do you do?
8) Can you rank the following on what is most important MBA aspect to you - Soft skill training, network, academics?
9) Any questions for us

Wishing all of you the best luck and hoping for a positive response! Fingers crossed
