Hi all,
I had submitted my application for R1 and have received the following mail in the standard NTU mail template.

"Meet Winnie over coffee to discuss what the Nanyang MBA can do for you and your career."

Can anyone throw light on this ? Especially someone who got invite to coffee chat and got an admit.
Is this an interview call or a 'marketing' mail.

Thank you.

I have sent them a mail in the morning. Will wait till tomorrow before sending mail again. BTW if I do receive the interview call, any advice. What questions do they ask? Can you list them ? Anything you remember.
Also how much time did did you have from the day you received the mail for setting up an interview to the day of your interview i.e. how many days did you have to prepare ?

I just got the following mail from NTU after I mailed them for a 1 to 1 coffee chat.

Dear Nikhil,
Thank you for your mail . Please note our Admission process is still on and the final decision will be out on or before 10th of January.
Thank you for your patience and kind understanding.


I don't know whether this is a ding or not :-/

I am thinking of asking for a clarification whether the interview decision deadline has been shifted to January 10th from the earlier deadline of December 20th.

Hi,

Hope this can throw some light on confusion about coffee chat session. This is what I received and this was not a promotional event. I believe the promotional mail would be titled differently with different content. I did attend the session and received an offer of admission on 12th December. NBS rolls out admission on rolling basis and the last day till one can expect admit is 15th January.

Subject: Exclusive Coffee Chat with Associate Dean NBS NTU Singapore in Bangalore 4th Dec 2017

Message:
