<p>I finally sent my application to SMU......so do international applicants get interviews?</p>
<p>hi there shijie and leigh. will i be seeing you at sotongfest? (the annual gathering thing for penn frosh in singapore) was from 01S33 btw.</p>
<p>hey seeker, afraid I won't be attending since I 'm not going to penn and more importantly-- I'm not even in spore right now! You guys have fun! tell us about it afterwards. :)</p>
<p>hi guys, kinda new here. i was from hc and will be going to jhu this year. hope to see some of you guys there.</p>
<p>welcome. interesting. i was thinking of applying there but i dont really like baltimore..prefer something more urban =/</p>
<p>boomer, usually intl have phone interview but since u live here, u might be asked to comedown to smu itself for it...</p>
<p>hey seeker - oh is that what its called? yeah ill see u there i guess. when is it anyway. i still havent gotten my package. think it got lost in the mail.</p>
<p>Hey, so if you're singaporean, and only apply to Singapore U, and don't get accepted to any of them..</p>
<p>What do you do??</p>
<p>And also, is it even worth a try to apply to S'pore U.. if you've studied overseas (less challenging system..)
I don't think I'll get into any S'pore Us at all..</p>
<p>hey, there is no harm tryin mna, inlt students do get in....but i think the appl are closed now. i noe they are for ntu n nus....not sure abt smu..</p>
<p>Hi sinaporeankid. which year did you graduate?</p>
<p>hey leigh
i grad in 2002. finishing ns in a couple of months.</p>
<p>wow... so many new pple/posts since i last visited
im supposed to go to UPenn this fall but i doubt im going because i have no $$$ and no scholarship (boo...)
are you all going on your own finances?
i was from vj btw</p>
<p>hey milkcarton, long time no see!!
oh mna, hope ur fin aid wokrs out somehow :)
so where in s'pore did u apply?</p>
<p>leigh - oh okay then : )</p>
<p>shijie - sotongfest is actually for those who've chosen to accept penn's offer, so that comes later. the thing coming up is sort of a convincing session i guess.</p>
<p>milkcarton - tough luck man. i had to keep trying for scholarships for the same reason. i really don't know what might work for you...maybe you could try writing to some really big shots at random and asking them for money :/</p>
<p>im scheduled for an interview (smu) on the 19th. anyone got any tips? :)</p>
<p>i am on 18th and i need tips as well... i think someone posted some stuff on the prev page when i asked for help :p</p>
<p>wat course is ur interview on? mine is business</p>
<p>mine is on ISM :P</p>
<p>i dont know about ISM, but i went for the business interview at SMU
basically, i think you know they give you 2 articles from the business/money section of the straits times (it's printed directly from ST webbie)
then 8 of you will discuss the article (but sometimes you may discuss stuff other than the articles)
neha (and anybody else) you probably have to be prepared to fight for chances to speak since everybody will be doing so. i didnt... i only spoke one sentence LOL but it's okay. im probably headed for NUS.
anyway the impression i got was some of the people spoke rubbish... they were talking just for the sake of being heard. the professors were laughing at them ha, so i think it's more important to talk less but make sense and not just gibber on.</p>
<p>oh yeah, wydnerdo - i believe ISM (and all other schools except business) will be a solo interview. there will be about 2 professors. i've heard that the solo interviews all went really nicely, because the profs are friendly so dont worry too much! ^.^ just know why you want to go to SMU ISM</p>
<p>thanks milkcarton :P what course did u apply for in NUS?</p>
