Hi Chethan92

When will the essay topics be released?
Is it safe to assume the application essays will be released on 1st August ?

Hi,

Does anyone know what the essay questions are for NUS?
I am not able to find it in their website. Also, while creating application only the option of Executive MBA comes in the drop down box.

Hi basabidas,

I got a reply from Adcom.

They are still updating the essay questions for this year application cycle. It will take some time.

Hope this helps :)

Hi,

Does it make a difference when during the application cycle of 1st August to 31st March we apply?

Do we benefit applying early?

All inputs are appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi Mon16,

If you see the application deadlines. The whole cycle is divided into two cycles. The benefit of R1 is that you will be eligible for scholarships.

Quote:
Application Deadlines:

Round 1: 1 August 2019 – 31 March 2020 (Scholarship Qualifying Period)
Round 2: 1 February 2020 – 31 March 2020


As the seats are filled early. You will get a better chance if you apply in R1. R2 will have fewer seats and will be more competitive.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi!
When will the application process start. On the website, the date is mentioned as 1st August, but NUS MBA is not coming as a drop-down during course selection(after registering as an applicant).

Thanks for your inputs.
I will be applying in Round 1. My question was if it matters when in Round 1 we apply. Say someone applies in August and I apply in February - so both of us apply in Round 1 - but does that person have better chances/benefits of applying early in Round 1?

Oh that's okay! :)

But does it matter when we apply in Round 1?
The Round 1 window is almost for 5 months - so does it make a difference when in these 5 months we apply?
Like applying in August over January increases acceptance chance or anything like that?

NUS offers rolling based admissions. So, the sooner you apply, the better the chances.

Hope this helps.
