[Official] Singapore Management University (SMU)

Hi puys.. I too got an admission letter from SMU MITB course.. so quite excited about it.

Anyone who got the scholarship, was it offered to you upfront or you had mentioned in the interview ? Because I was told that scholarship will be merit based and will be offered after you join the course. Just wanted to be clear in that front.

guys does anyone know when the classes are starting in Jan ? is it beginning of Jan or end?

Hi

How are the referrals submitted? By post, by email?
Also, how about the documents, uploaded or sent by mail?
Read the website, was a bit confusing. Anyone can help?

Hi .. I got an admit for Jan 2014 FT MBA batch .. anyone here who is also joining that batch?

hi all.. i have a peculiar problem.. i applied for Jan 2013 batch with score of 710. But since i had just completed 2 years as on November 2012, i received mail from the admission committee head stating that they would be willing to interview me for Jan 2014 batch in Feb 2013.. anyone had similar situation like this ?

Can you guys throw some light on the placement activity of the university (MBA s not undergrads)

@saurabh231 hi saurabh,
could you share your academic record which SMU considered for Jan 2014 intake..Importantly your GMAT score??

hi .. my gmat score was 680 , about 7 yrs of experience in IT with 1 yr of international experience .. i think applying early for 2014 intake was a mjor plus for me ..

Hi @saurabh231 : I believe u can help me with my query If I submit my application today for 2014 FT batch and things are positive by when I can expect(approx.) my entire interview process to get completed including its result?


Thanks in advance...

My interview was scheduled within 4 days i submitted my application and got an admit mail within 2 days of interview .. in a nutshell the admit decision was made within a week after i submitted my application.
@saurabh231 Thanks again.. !

heyy Saurabh !thanks for you response 😃
@ puys: heyy guys any of you secured admission to SMU courses through GRE score consideration? what are the chances of securing admission through GRE instead GMAT.

phone interview day after tomorrow.. can any one help for some tips

@icespray it shoudl be a very standard interview .. no curveballs. This is how my interview went:

Tell us one good thing about leading a large team (i lead a team of 25 members)

Tell us one bad thing about it

Describe yourself in 3 words and give an example for each

Name one Asian who you look upto and why

What would be your biggest challenge if you join SMU

How would you overcome that challenge

Why MBA now and why from Singapore

How would you contribute to the class

Any questions for us

I think that was all - about 15 - 20 mins of discussion

@icespray just keep your cool .. i think they are most concerned about your communication skills.. probably to ensure you can contribute to the seminar style of teaching
