Perhaps next Monday, some may start to hear from the school again? All the best to everyone who's still waiting!

They are taking excess of time, as it surprises me their poor management skills. Anyways, I am on a full-ride with University of Oxford, and it has been accepted with a full-scholarship by Clarendon.. Good bye LKYSPP (NUS) and Good luck to all those who are still waiting for results. Hi Jamy! Hope you are doing well and many congratulations on your admit to Oxford. I've created a WhatsApp group for MPA/MPP applicants. We're ~10 people right now and all would greatly benefit from your guidance regarding Oxford application and MPP applications in general.

Chevyyy195 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I’m sorry if there’s another thread with the same subject, I couldn’t not find it. Was wondering if anybody knows how hard is to get into this program and into NUS in general. I applied like a month and a half ago and everything went fine, the admissions unit told me they will notify me in case I need to do an interview most likely in february, and then, results will come out in batches from april-may. A little about my profile/background: - Bachelors degree with honors in International Relations at National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) - GPA: 3.7/4 or 9.25/10 (mexican grading system) - Academic exchange at University of São Paulo (USP). Also completed two postgraduate workshops in IR and Political Science. - Work experience: Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the Undersecretariat of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. - Don’t know if it counts but as my undergraduate project I carried out a thesis. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarM Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Hey - so I was admitted to the MBA/MPA (dual degree) program for 2018/2019. Unfortunately didn't get funding so I couldn't accept the admissions offer. I have applied again this year for the MPA at LKYSPP. A little about my profile/background: - Bachelors degree in law from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (Ranked in the top 3 in Pakistan) - GPA: 2.95/4 - 10+ years of work experience in development consulting with local organizations receiving donor funding and with international development consultancy firms. Have primarily concentrated on access to justice and rule of law reform. I was interviewed in February 2017 and had my offer of admission by the end of March 2018. The timelines this year are clearly going to be different. Emailed them a couple of days ago on what the next steps in the process were and got this exact response: "The final outcome of the admissions will be released to the applicants by batches via email from April onwards. if you are required to attend an interview, you will be informed via email between February and March. Please note that not all selected candidates are required to attend admissions interview." Would love to hear from folks who have received an email to schedule an interview.

Same here -- radio silence. I had attended an NUS webinar a couple of months ago where they said that they'll respond anytime from February to May. And they may or may not interview you before accepting/rejecting. The problem with waiting for so long is that I'll have to respond to other universities!

I’m in the same boat, but waiting only on one uni (UvA), but with all this coronavirus situation, i won’t be surprised if they take another month or so to release results. Just accept the offer if you already have one, then at the end you can choose whatever works for you. I’m more worried about scholarships, didn’t notice NUS was four to fivefold more expensive than other unis, that’s nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is Singapore in general. But they do offer a fair range of scholarships, so here's hoping! And I can't accept my offers because they all require a deposit to be paid. Don't wanna do that. Instead, I'm just going to wait till the very end of the deadline and hope that I receive all responses by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
