@Visweswarareddy I agree mate and thats why I applied asap for the 2014 batch :)
@saurabh231 - Thanks.. lets see how it goes. Will keep u updated. And get back to u in case if i have any more Q's..
Hi guys! To what address do our referees need to e-mail the referee form?
Also do we have to submit hard copies of our documents at the time of application submission.. I am applying to the Jan 2014 intake (full-time) by the 1st round deadline (1st March 2013).
Please help!
Thanks :)
Hello all,
I am an SMU FT MBA 2013 admit.. Have deferred my admit to the 2014 batch..
Feel free to get in touch with me for any help that you may require.
Hope to find some classmates here...!! All the best :)
Best regards
Hari
@harichids Hi Hari .. even I ll join the 2014 batch.. I guess we can connect here .. where are you from?
Why didn't you join the 2013 batch? just curious ..
@Visweswarareddy said:@saurabh231 - Applying later is a disadvantage. A large number of Indians apply and it becomes too competitive at the later stages. So the earlier the better. I dont want to take that risk. It happened with NTU and NUS too for me.
Hey Vis (if I may),
If it helps, I applied for the Nov intake of the 2013 batch and got an offer..
Deferred my admissions.. will be joining the 2014 batch...
Best regards
Hari

my profile - 680 GMAT, Indian IT Male, will have over 7 yrs of exp by Jan 2014. decent acads & ECs.. nothing out of ordinary though.. I am currently in Noida ..
@harichids - Thanks..
Now i am confused when to apply:)
But since I am ready i will go ahead and apply. Lets see how it goes.
I too have a similar profile.
690/Indian/IT/Male/5years/V Good EC and Acads...
But somewhere in the previous posts on this thread i saw some students commenting that the SMU told some Indian applicants that they had already taken enough Indians and to maintain diversity they would not take any more.. So got a bit worried.

oh great..
Have you had the chance to talk to some current students?? I hear that one has to arrange for accommodation outside of the campus..
@Visweswarareddy said:@harichids - Lets see how it goes.. would like to see an admit..
you have a great profile.. give it all you have..
wish you the very best :)
@harichids I did contact few current students ... all seemed pretty happy with the course and experience so far .. I even managed to speak to a 2011 passout currently working in Singapore .. he seemed pretty staisfied as well .. what about you .. did you get a chance to speak to any current / former students?
Yes.. i guess the commonwealth hostel is offcampus moreover I ll take my family along so will search for an offcampus accommodation for myself ..
@saurabh231 @harichids - I too spoke to an 2011 alum.. he too was very happy and felt that there was not much difference between the NTU/NUS/SMU when it comes to knowledge wise. Pay too he said was on par but again most of them at SMU would have higher exp.
Except that its a new program not many concerns.
He spoke that even get to intern for 2.5 months.
He was a bit skeptical about changing industry/function. If u want to move up the ladder in the same industry then SMU does well in that aspect.
Let me know what u guys found out...
