Kaleem Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Applicant205, have you got email for interview?
divertan Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Hello all! Scooby0407 - Thanks for the links, will check them out for sure, if and when, lol! Pianodive_ani - Congrats on the interview call, hope ours aren't too far behind!! And everyone...would it be inappropriate to reach out to them asking, maybe after a week or two, what their timelines are for interview calls? I don't wanna be waiting around thinking I'm still in the running if they've already completed those rounds by then... Best of luck, folks!
Kaleem Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 If you mail them the reply will be same that the process of shortlisting is in process if you are shortlisted you will be told in 1 or 2 week time.
divertan Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Kaleem - Could you clarify whether this is something you think NUS will say or if they have said something similar to you (about shortlisting being completed in the next 1-2 weeks) when you wrote to them? I'm a little confused...also, are the MPA and MPP timelines and processes, post application, the same? Thanks!
Kaleem Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Divertan,NUS replied same to me as far as time line of MPA and MPP is concerned I don't have any knowledge about it.
applicant205 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 they said the same to me. Are they taking math tests this time? or is it just case studies?
divertan Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks Kaleem and applicant205! Applicant205, from what I remember they'd mentioned diagnostic tests for both english and math, post interviews.. =)
namir Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hello! I was also shortlisted for an interview and I have some questions regarding the additional diagnostic tests: Do I need to go to a test center or do I have to do them at home? Via Skype? Thanks for answers! Roman
Kaleem Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 It is mentioned in the email that interview is on Skype or Face to face. Check your email please
namir Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi Kaleem, thanks! But I mean the math test for example.... Of course I am aware that the interview itself is via Skype but I am not aware how they test the math skills.
Kaleem Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 It will be through Internet send to you on your email id Xperto and Kaleem 2
emag Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hi all, thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear from ppl who are in the same boat with me. I applied for the MPP program and had an interview on 12th. I was informed about the diagnostic tests as well but haven't heard back since then. Has anyone done the tests already for this year? Cheers
Tinaye Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone. My name is Rudolph and I'm from Zimbabwe. I applied for MPA programme Fall 2015 and I had my interview today. I don't think I would've find it easy before going through all your previous comments. Thank you. I'm now patiently waiting for the diagnostic test. If anyone wants to practice for the tests, kindly let me know. Best wishes, Edited February 24, 2015 by Tinaye

emag Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Tinaye (Rudolph),to answer your question, I would like to practice the diagnostic tests but how do I go about doing that? Any suggestions? Thanks
strombone1 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I am curious as well as to how to prepare for the Diagnostics Exam. Does anyone here have any suggestions on how to study for the test?
Phoenixx Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi All, quick update and answers to your questions: It was a skype interview scheduled for an hour but lasted only 40 minutes so I don't think it went that well! A professor took my interview and it was a mix of experience related and 'why the course' questions. I was also provided a case study half an hour before so make sure to login in to your email a while before your interview. I was really nervous and wasn't prepared at all due to work. However the professor was really neutral and supportive so it was a nice, smooth experience. I am sure they are rolling out interviews periodically so I wouldn't lose hope. My background: Bachelors in Management in 2010. Working for 5 yrs in the non-profit/education sector. IELTS score is 9. Did not give the GRE or GMAT. Decent extracurriculars and I am good at my job but no medals or awards received. hi, did you send your application to LKY early or end of january? have people who applied end of january received any interview calls?
scooby0407 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I applied right at the end of the deadline, contacted LKY and they say that my result should be out in a week's time (March first week). If it's a yes, then interviews & tests by mid March and acceptance by end of March/April beginning.
namir Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Hi all, I had my interview recently and it was very relaxed and I always had a good feeling. Beside a case study which arrived me around 30mins prior to the interview via email, the interview was mostly about why I want to study Public Policy, why in Singapore. Then some hypothetical questions regarding team work etc. The interview was scheduled for 30mins and we exactly talked 30mins. I will receive the final decision in mid March. I applied in December and received the invitation for an interview 2 weeks ago. Anyone else who finished the interview?
GIOMAR Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Hi, I had my interview for the LKYSPP MPP on February 24th and it went well, the interviewer was really nice and the questions weren't hard (including the case study). Mostly they were related to my academic and professional background. In addition to that, I was asked few questions why I decided to undertake this master's program. I was told that they will contact me in a month regarding the interview results. I am a little bit nervous about the math test, since I do not know what to expect. Does anybody know anything about it? I am looking forward to hearing your replies

GIOMAR Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Hi, I submitted my application in January, few days before the deadline, and I got the interview invitation around on February 19th. Is here anybody, who knows anything about the math test? wandering12th 1
