[Official] Singapore Management University (SMU)

Anyone applied in the first deadline?

neevarp26,

The batch passing out in Dec-2009 was the first batch of SMU full time MBA. Since most of the placements statistics take in to account a period up to 3-6 months post graduation, the report is not out yet.

Various accounts of people in Singapore indicate that students from SMU (bachelors and masters) are treated at par with students from NUS/NTU with regards to job opportunities.

I have an offer from SMU class of 2011 and will take it up.

Hey pjthevj,

How long does SMU take to reply after the application submission? Do they follow a rolling admission system?

It would be helpful if you can share your profile and the i/v questions.


Cheers!

Hi guys,
Am already pursuing my MBA from SMU. Even thogh its a new school...it enjoys a excellent rating in Singapore. In fact It is even considered by many to be better than NUS as far a a MBA is concerned......The faculty/facilities are competely world class. In another 2 years it is expected to burst into the FT rankings, bcoz of its strong foundations......
Will keep you posted guys......

Hi pratimmukherjee,

I have heard similar comments from many others as well (including those who are currently doing MBA from NUS) that SMU will move ahead of NUS and NTU in global rankings in couple of years time. The fact that SMU has started an EMBA in collaboration with Wharton and ISB speaks volumes about the image it has in international community. I am planning to do my MBA next year and have been busy collecting facts and figures of various b-schools (specifically in Singapore) and for me SMU will be second only to INSEAD.

Please keep this thread updated on the latest from SMU and also please share some tips on how to crack the the admission process. :)

Cheers

Hi sgpmba,
Looks like you have done a gr8 deal of research..which is gr8....
SMU puts a lot of emphasis on the interview, as they make a concious effort to induct ppl who are confident and speak well.... so u might wanna pay some extra attention to dat particular aspect.....
rest all is the usual......GMAT, Work experience etc....
All the best
Do Well

Thanks pratimmukherjee. yeah I have heard that SMU places lot emphasis on soft skills. I guess that's why they ask for video essay (something i have't seen from any other b-school).

Does SMU have a fixed intake every year or is it variable? I know last time they took only 45 students. Have they increased it this year or planning to increase in the future?

Rockmba2011, Alexandervinay - how was your interview result? do you mind sharing your interview experience?

Hi K

All the schools you mentioned are very good.

It all depends on what you are looking for at the end of the day.

SMU has a very good and tightly packed course.

Cheers

Guys,

I think the results for Round-2 are out. Anyone got through?

Any idea how many people from the wait list get through every year and how long do they take to decide?
