[申请背景] 台大管院学士毕，欧洲交换学生半年，GPA 3.8 GMAT 710、TOEFL 102 5+ years in brand management and product marketing (FMCG) [申请学校] Applied: NUS, NTU Admitted: NUS, NTU Decision: NUS [前言] 申请过程中觉得资料很有限，主要透过Chasedream论坛找到较多的个别申请经验分享，自行汇整花了满多时间。 因此决定自己来写一篇心得，希望能帮助到对新加坡MBA有兴趣的台湾人。 考虑家庭因素，希望找一个双方都能有不错的职涯发展的国家工作。 有欧美经验，但比较习惯亚洲的生活，考虑政治、民情、环境等，最後选择了新加坡。 对我而言，MBA是在新加坡找到工作的手段，考虑到学费、时间、班级规模，仅申请NUS与NTU。 [心得] 准备GMAT & TOEFL的期间，满建议同步参加学校举办的info session、coffee chat等， 会对Adcom、Alumni的风格都更加了解，之後也好评估选择哪间学校。 通常会考虑class profile的产业结构，但NUS & NTU我询问Adcom各产业比例满相似的。 我选择NUS的原因如下： 1.国际排名/认可度较高 2.17个月的schedule规划，有做实习、交换学生的余裕 3.位置靠近CBD，面试、实习等较方便，生活机能较佳 虽然最後选NUS，但必须说NTU比较小班制，Adcom较能照顾到每个人。 从我第一次交GMAT成绩，NTU的Adcom就主动联络我约coffee chat，分享NTU MBA program的特色，也聊聊我的total package在申请中的竞争力。 中间透过Adcom引荐校友，都非常有效率，态度热情友善。 相较来说，NUS的Adcom没有主动联络过我。 [Timeline & 面试经验] 2020/05 – 2020/12 GMAT三战& TOEFL一战，都有补习 2020/12 – 2021/01 CV、Essay、推荐信准备，有找顾问协助NUS NUS 1/27 Submit application 2/17 Interview invitation 2/25 Interview 3/10 Offer get 面试30min by Zoom，两位面试官都是女性，都负责招生，谈话的氛围算舒服，但面试官 会期望回答得很深入。 整体面试的流程如下： 1.Self-introduction (必须包含Professional background, Why MBA, Career Goal; 过去的经验让你有了特定的career goal，必须透过MBA才能完成) 2.针对自我介绍不清楚的地方追问 e.g. 我提到cross-cultural management，面试官请我举一个工作上的例子阐释跨文化合作的困难 3.对於雇主们的看法?

Class size太大，能建立Network的广度/深度有限 4. Class profile - Consulting的比例高，但我自己着重 FMCG/Tech 不过INSEAD Global ranking高，先前接触的Alumni也都很厉害，而且多校区，还是一间很值得考虑的学校 回归到Why MBA，program的选择还是看个人的需求 因为我的目的是在新加坡工作，一句话总结就是考量CP值选择NUS ※ 编辑: moneyseven (118.168.133.24 台湾), 03/14/2021 13:31:58 是的 推Kellogg哥 学长好~~其实是学妹哈哈! 已经加LinkedIn，感谢 ※ 编辑: moneyseven (203.67.100.39 台湾), 03/22/2021 14:58:48
