<p>Well…for the fact… the thread has been a bit of bias. 4 years ago SMU is just a 7 years old university with only 1 graduate cohort in the country. now we are still young (the fact that we are just 11 years old in comparison to the other two) but the school has maintained its strong reputation in Singapore and Asia. </p>
<p>For the fact - SMU has just been recently accredited by AACSB (and I guess this is something that people dont expect coming from a school that only performs for short time) and it also has partnership with CFA. We are on the way to gain EQUIS accreditation. Though partnershiol with CFA and AACSB accrediation may enlight the quality of education that SMU brings, SMU’s success is not marked by these. </p>
<p>SMU has been highly favoured by employers in Singapore, and what I mean is that though we are young, big company like Goldman Sach, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Blackrock, Citibank, etc have been recruiting SMU students. To a certain extent some have landed a job in investment banking in which they work alongside the ivy leagues and other top universities’ graduates. </p>
<p>It is hard to compare SMU with Wharton and Harvard. But in term of its place in Singapore, SMU has performed very well. There is no doubt that the school has been very successful. </p>
<p>With regards to your question, I must say that transferring to the US is more complicated than what you thinik. Every states in the US has a different requirement. For example, if you are coming from UC then it may not be easy for you to transfer to Michigan or other states universities, and hence, if you are contemplating to go to the US by means of doing transfer, it may not be easy to start from Singapore. </p>
<p>So, chances are, you might be well accepted to the US university but you may just start from clean state. It is because of that, I might strongly suggest you to start yourself in the US, if, by all means, your dream is doing an education in the US. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
