Hi,
I wanted to know whether the essay limit is 300 words or 3500 characters? Because in the textbox, I am able to copy more than 300 words untill it hits 3500 characters.

Thanks in advance!

It took place this Monday (Jan 28) over Skype with 2 members of the ad com. I heard back from them today, and have been accepted to the program with a scholarship!

Assuming Monday's Skype interview was to decide on the scholarship.

I had an in-person interview on Dec 1 and just got invited to a second interview (Skype) today. Has anyone else been invited for a second one? Any clue what to expect?

I'm equally baffled. My in-person interview was in Mumbai. Went through last year's GMAT club forum on NUS, apparently many of them had 2 rounds but there's very little info available online on the questions to expect.

I too had my interview in Mumbai on 1st Dec but haven't rcvd a skype invite. When is your interview scheduled? What does the mail mention?

Hi,

I had submitted my application on 31st Jan but due to a technical glitch, I could not upload my passport, passport photo, financial statement and resume. No the status shows Application incomplete. I sent the documents via email now but there is no response from NUS via email. Nobody answers on the provided phone numbers too. Can someone please guide me on this?

Hey guys,

Thank you for your interest in NUS. We confirm our receipt of your submission of application for admission to the following programme on 24 December 2018, 00:14.

My friend applied on Dec 18th and already has an admission. I don't seem to understand the process of NUS. Is it over? Should I hang in there?

How are other guys holding up?

Regards,
HK

Submitted my application a couple of days ago. Are the odds really low now since I applied at the end of Round 1. I'm Indian, so I believe it's pretty competitive out there.

Hi guys,
Quick help needed.
I applied in R1 on 31st January. After I submitted my application, I saw the checklist and it had everything crossed(X), including resume, essays, passport photo etc, apart from the 2 referrals.
But when I checked my documents uploaded link, it had all of my documents. This is weird because I wrote essays in their application and they are shown as not submitted on their website.

But as per the website, checklist needs to be honoured as pending to-do items and as everything in my application is crossed, do I need to send everything including my application and documents to the school? Did anyone else face this issue ?
Also, If I send them my documents now, will I be considered inR1?

Hi guys,

Congrats to everyone who have been admitted to the program. I am a current full time student at NUS and I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have (except scholarships!). Give me a shout if anybody has questions about the program.

Best of luck to those waiting to hear back.

I know you can't really comment on it but my friend applied on the 18th of december (as per mail) and has an admit for NUS while I don't even have an invite. I applied on Dec 24th. Is it worth waiting or should I move on?

What was your experience like?

My experience was fairly straightforward as I only applied on the last day of the last round so I knew what I was in for and I was also not pressed for time.

I would suggest waiting until the 15th of Feb as I know that there is a round of interviews scheduled for that day. Perhaps after that you can decide if it is time to move on.

I submitted my application on Jan 30th, 2019. Afterwards, I send an email to one of the marketing and she said that it would take 1-2 weeks for the adcom to check on my application.

However, on Jan 1st, 2019 I checked my email and there was an interview invitation email that was sent on Jan 31st, 2019 and needs to be replied on the same day.

I have sent an email on Jan 1st, 2019 to apologize for not checking the email, but have not received any reply yet.

Will they still give me the interview opportunity?

You submitted your application on the 31st and got an invitation invite on the 1st of Feb you mean ?

Also anyone else who submitted their application in Jan and got a interview call?

30 Jan: submitted my application
31 Jan: Received interview invitation, but needs to be replied on the same day. I didn't check my email that day
1 Jan: realized there's an email from NUS

already sent email but no reply yet. I guess they're celebrating Chinese new year

Hello guys,

I just got shortlisted for a preliminary interview assessment. It would last 15 minutes.

Anyone experienced this? What are the questions like? Can someone share their experience?

My application is stuck with a status of ‘Application Processing’. I’ve emailed AdCom a couple of times with no response. Does the status change to Complete or does it just remain in processing until your result comes out ?
