Just got a rejection for the MPA program. Honestly a little shocked and disappointed, considering I had secured a place in the dual degree MPA-MBA program at NUS two years ago. Applied again this time with an improved GRE score (170 verbal, 159 quant, 5.5 AWS), an improved CV, and solid references. I thought the interview went well enough, although we did have connectivity issues. Don't really know what to make of it, except maybe the competition was stronger this year. Good luck to folks that are still waiting to hear back!
