Hi sillybilly

A lot depends on your profile, GMAT score and if what geography you wish to make your career in.

If you wish to settle down abroad at least for 7-8 years post MBA then it makes sense to take up Nanyang. It’s a very good in Singapore and Singapore is now the latest hotspot for budding career opportunities. You can also try and get a good scholarship basis your GMAT.

If you wish to settle in India for long term I would suggest go for ISB and try for IIMA PGPX in next year.

It all boil downs to where you want to build your career. Doing an MBA from Singapore and returning to India after few years makes no sense from ROI perspective also. The global exposure would certainly be great.
However in india nothing would beat IIMA PGPX/ ISB. Depending on your work ex.

You mentioned you particularly want to wait for ISB/ NUS. Seems like you have made the decision in your heart. I will say one thing here- an offer in hand is better than nothing.

Focus on where you wish to be in long term and what is the brand you want to be associated with for rest of your life.

All the best!

Hi All.

I have received an offer for admission from Nanyang Business School, with a partial $; however, the offer has a one week deadline. I have applied to three other schools, of which 2 (Simon and NUS) are yet to revert and the third one, ISB, has shortlisted me for interview.

I am not sure how to proceed here. Nanyang is a good school, but I want to wait for offers from other schools, so that I can compare and choose the best one. They might offer an even better scholarship. In particular, I want to wait for ISB's offer.

The non-refundable acceptance deposit at Nanyang is substantial and I can't afford to forfeit it. What are my options here?

1. Should I ask Nanyang to extend the offer deadline? If yes, then what reason should I give?
2. Should I accept the offer? Is Nanyang better than ISB or Simon? [Can also try negotiating for more $$]
