The interviewer was a faculty member and was very nice. 20 minutes for preparation + around 20 minutes of conversation. And yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbakkwa Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) My interview was similar to @OVi_'s. I expected questions about my essay actually, but was surprised nothing was asked about it. Was asked about the case study and my motivation to study as well. Took around 15 minutes for the interview portion. Tone was good, so I'm feeling ok. Was just a little shocked as I was expecting a rapid fire of questions I had arduously prepped for ?. Fingers crossed!

cee123 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 @chewbakkwa i hope you get it! did they mention when they'd send out the offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbakkwa Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Early april onward. I hope you hear from them too, @cee123! @Jamy with Singapore's partnership with ASEAN countries, I'd think if you get in there's a pretty high chance of getting a full scholarship.

Thank you for the reply. I have another question which was not discussed in the previous discussion, i.e., if an applicant is invited for an interview, does it mean that he or she has higher chance to get admitted than those who weren't invited ?? Thank you in advance. Edited March 4, 2020 by Jamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance. I can't answer this conclusively, but I've read from previous replies that there are some that get admitted without having been invited for interviews. Those that weren't invited fall into two pools - definite acceptance and definite rejection. Those that were invited fall into - likely to be invited and likely to be rejected. Since more people get in through interviews than direct admission, you could say that you have a higher chance of getting in if you've secured an interview.

It's odd that the school is taking a while to process applicants despite an earlier deadline compared to US grad schools regardless of the current situation (Covid-19 virus). I guess there are just more applicants relative to US public policy schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
