Singapore Management University

<p>Interesting. I didn't know topics like this exist here :D Thought it's all about Harvard, Yale or Princeton :lol:</p>

<p>I applied and was shortlisted for the essay and the interview too. But I did pretty bad: mispronounced every second word, and ended up 3 paragraphs :(( for the essay.</p>

<p>I chose the 'hardest moment' topic too.</p>

<p>Anyway, can u post ur profiles?</p>

<p>Premanjali -
Had a good essay....but an OK interview....they were courteous but didnt show any great (positive/negative) reaction</p>

<p>...neway..cya...n all the best to all!!!!</p>

<p>PA I can't believe you forgot to mention that I wrote your 'teacher rec'!</p>

<p>Sucharita,pls write my Econ rec</p>

<p>hehe why not...I love writing recs...of course ther's the tiny, microscopic, subatomically small fact that I've never seen you :p</p>

<p>Anybody knows how much time they take to inform us about the admission decisions?
Any more rounds after this one or are the final calls due?</p>

<p>hey i just got an e-mail saying that my final admission decision will be released upon my giving of my final Class 12 exams . Is that good news?</p>

<p>this thread is much better than our ol' indian thread which is pretty deep in political discussion right now.
so such - didn't know u wrote good recs for other. should have asked u for mine before.
premanjali - why is it tht u dont like ur name to be shortened. u know tht in my part of the country, if some1 calls u by ur full name - it usually means tht they dont like u.
hayden - it is good news, unless u drop the ball on 12th. if u do alright - u in.</p>

<p>finally someone who's talking sense! yeah adides I'm hanging out here too until akash and SP have stopped raving and ranting :p</p>

<p>ranting and raving? ehhhemm...anyway, how much scholarship does SMU give to int'l students usually?</p>

<p>yes SP ranting and raving</p>

<p>ahhh...please...im not doing anything. its just an interesting debate with a bit of spice..thats all. anyway, sorry my comments hurt u in any way...but just respond to my last post there, i just want to understand ur logic.</p>

<p>Did they emailed you on their own, or just replied your questions of deadlines? Whatever, i think you are in :). Believe me, SMU doesn't dare to reject a 1340 who did well in his interview.</p>

<p>SP trust me it would take a lot more than that to hurt me or offend me. But yeah, some other people may find it objectionable if its in a thread which has nothing to do with politics. On a purely political thread of course, youre free to state all your opinions :)</p>

<p>they replied to my message duongnt . And its 1430 btw</p>

<p>yeah i meant 1430. 1340 is not that much ;)</p>

<p>ya such....
it was such who formulated my best reco by my computer sir...whose too 'busy' to write on his own...he then cheked it n signed it withvery few alterations..and thnx for tht such!!! :)</p>

<p>hayden even i got the mail sayign furthr proceedings of smu will be told thru mail...ad tht i shud be sending them my class 12 results as oon as possible...i dnt know whethr thts gud news or bad..
but ya, agal named sneha fmr our skool got thru last yr...n she told me tht if ur seleted for intrview ur sure shot into smu!!!! :) thts quite a bit of encouragement..but iam an optimist but not su much so tht i fell relieved listenignto snehaz encouragement...all the best neway...
good if we (as in hayden, duongnt n myself) get thru smu..then i will know atleast some1 thr :p .....hehe....
ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF US!!!!!!
cheers!!</p>
