So for me final list goes like:
Emory - 2nd round and rolling :(
CEIBS - first round - 30-Nov
HKUST - First round - 17-Dec
NUS - its rolling so after HKUST, I ll try to close this one
Dropping Queens most probably, becaues its 2nd deadline is 28-Nov and its rolling as well. Moreover I do not have much time. CEIBS and Queens deadline is clashing. so will drop Queens most probably.
Other schools, I may think about if I submit the apps for above schools in time and am satisfied with the applications/essays I would submit
Krannert. Depends on when I take TOEFL
NTU - have to do the research
AIM - would not go for it because of the political situation there.. but would do the research.
Adios

NUS.. a bit of info!!
Application Deadlines:
For Full Time NUS MBA Applicants:
Round I: 01 Oct 2008 - 31 Jan 2009
Round II: 01 Feb 2009 - 31 Mar 2009
Scholarship qualifying period (only for the full time NUS MBA applicants): 01 Oct 2008 - 31 Jan 2009
There is no Application Fee. :)
Tuition Fee: Full Time MBA: S$50,000 (approx. 17 lakh INR, 1S$=34.19Rs) payable over 3 semesters
Recruitment stats and some insight:
I got this info from NUS site only.
About 64% of the batch got a job in Singapore only. Rest of them got in Rest of the world (obviously)
The highest % of people were employed in Finance/Accounting and got the highest package. So keep this in mind that if you are going for any school like NUS, HKUST Business school, and if you want your career in finance, you cant go wrong with that but looking at the current situation, I dont know if you should think about finance in the first place. But as they say, everything passes and these financial crisis come every 6-7 years, so hopefully things will be fine in next 2 years.
Yes the next question is.. getting a job in non-financial sector.. yes even I am looking for that and since these schools are good, hopefully we will be able to land in a good job of our choice.. cant really comment on this.
By function, only 8% people got a job in Gen. Management and only 6% in MIS. while industry wise 21% people got a job in tech. industry ( I am looking for a job in tech sector only.. 21% looks good but am not sure about the profile or anything.
Function wise MIS peopel got the lowest package and industry wise tech people got the lowest package.
Highest package we know - financial services, consulting services, and real estate.
So apart from finance, the school looks good for consulting as well.
69% got placed by the time of graduation and number rose to 93% within 3 months of graduation.. so job placement wise, NUS looks promising..
mind you.. most of the people got job in Singapore only.. people come back to India as well but after working there for few years.
Avg work experience is 5 years. Dont worry if you have less experience. What matters more is the whole package and I would say, the most important part (i feel) of package is your essays (for most of the schools in the world)
In MBA Recruitment Partners list, I could see some names (of my interest) like Cognizant, HCL Technologies, IBM, Oracle, Motorola among lot of Investment Banking names (big ones)
So it gives me (and probably you guys) an idea about NUS. Read some blogs, some forums to know if NUS has what you are looking for.
I am contemplating about applying to NUS.. Since the first deadline is 31-Jan-09, we have got some time.. but I have no idea if NUS has rolling admissions like Queen's. If thats the case, hurry up. If anyone of you has any idea about, do let me know too.
