Good luck,

Hi,
Thanks a lot man. I met a whole bunch of alums when they came to bangalore for the NUS connect program. All I'm hoping for now is to get in

Rockmba1,
My research on SMU made a similar impression in my mind about the school and as a result, I am going to be a part of the program starting July 2012. I still have time to change my mind but I think I am going to accept the offer. I did not even apply to NUS for the sheer reason that it is located way too far from my house and office with poor connectivity to public transport. I will be pursuing a part-time program, by the way. The reputation of NUS MBA is indisputable though. Even Nanyang (NTU) for that matter.

I would soon be attending the NTU interview but I don't think any outcome is going to change my mind. I will be sticking to SMU. I chose the program because it is short in duration (18 months part-time). SMU has a high class faculty and my experience in a sample class that I attended was awesome. The seminar style teaching was impressive. In addition to these, SMU's industry ties are commendable. SMU will be ranked by FT this year (most probably) and from what I have learnt from various sources is that average salaries of SMU alumni have been above their NTU and NUS counterparts. So I agree with rockmba1 that SMU will feature high in the rankings. SMU is also the youngest university to have earned both AACSB and EQUIS (5 yrs, usual is 3 yrs) accreditation, though some argue that even money can buy these.

All in all, I am happy with my choice and have also pocketed a scholarship from the school because of my GMAT score
I will be happy to connect to those who would be joining the part-time program in July 2012 or full-time program in Jan 2013.

Good luck mates!

NUS B-school is ranked as one of the best in Asia. While the placement may not be as good as say they have been for ISB in India, they're solid and Singaporean universities tend to make sure you end up OK somewhere.

Hey there! Any admits for the Singapore Management University - Master's in Business Analytics Program, starting August 2015?

Hi

Can you please evaluate my profile. I am very interested in doing MS, or MBA, in finance from some good asian university. Also, can you please suggest me some schools?

My GMAT score is 640 (Q50, V26, IR6). I have also taken GMAT last year. My score was: 620 (Q49, V26, IR:5). I am in no mood in taking another GMAT :p . Got some other engagements as well.
