by Dream Compass | Aug 24, 2022 | MBA Admissions and Essays Guidance
NUS Required Essay 1
How have people, events, and/or situations in your life influenced who you are today? (250 words)
In this essay, you must look back at all the challenges you have faced and overcame throughout your life or incidents that motivated you to take up new initiatives or people who influenced and inspired you. This is a rather short essay and therefore must be focused and direct. Here are a few pointers to help you compose it.
- As you have only 250 words, choose 2 out of the 3 – people, events, situations so that you can substantiate them properly.
- The stories you choose could be from your cultural or sports activities/volunteering experiences/firm initiatives/personal struggles/family circumstances. A very compelling story from your professional experience will also do.
- See this as another chance to bring out values that the school stands for. If you have examples of say ‘Excellence’ and ‘Teamwork’ in the previous essay, then focus on maybe ‘Innovation’ or ‘Integrity’ in this one.
- While describing your experiences, concentrate on the learnings and takeaways rather than the event itself because the essay asks specifically how it contributed to who you are today.
Format – Introduction, one paragraph each of the 2 experiences and a conclusion
NUS Required Essay 2
How do you plan to spend your time on The NUS MBA to transform yourself personally & professionally? Briefly describe your experience to date, and how this and The NUS MBA can help you achieve your mid and long-term career goals. (350 words)
This is the standard MBA essay in which there are 3 parts – past experience, the NUS MBA and future goals. The key here is to clearly state your mid and long term goals, highlight through your past work experience how you already possess a few skills that will help you achieve them and most importantly how the NUS MBA will bridge that gap in skills and experience to help you realize them.
Let us delve into each aspect.
- Mid and long-term goals – Mention a role, location and a few companies you would want to join. It is important to state why and what led you to pursue these goals and why they resonate with you. This need not be elaborate, but it should be convincing and real
- Experience to date – Here, describe 2-3 experiences that portray strengths/attributes that NUS looks for. End each one with how it will relate to your goals. NUS’s core values are Excellence, Care, Innovation, Integrity, Teamwork. It would be a good idea to include at least one example of leadership skills (essential for any business school)
- In class experience – The program has a set of core modules such as ‘Corporate strategy’, ‘Financial Management and ‘Marketing Management’ in the first semester and specialization-wise electives to choose thereafter. Apart from the usual specializations, it has ‘Innovation & Entrepreneurship’ and ‘Real estate’. Eminent professors such as Prof. Wong Poh Kam (Technopreneurship) from MIT and Prof. Ishtiaq Mahmood (Strategy and policy) from Harvard are part of the world class faculty at NUS
- Experiential Learning – As part of its experiential learning framework, in the second semester NUS has the Management Practicum (MP). In the MP, NUS MBA students execute a consulting project for leading companies from Singapore such as Dell, Johnson & Johnson. The Global Immersion Program, International Student Exchange program and case competitions also allow students to apply concepts to real-world problems
- Out-of-class experience – There is a plethora of activities on campus ranging from the ‘NUS MBA Elevator Pitch’, Echoes’ and Pencil Pack, to the world’s largest business case competition “Cerebration 2015”. Clubs such as the Consulting Club, Women in Business Club, enhance learning and help hone leadership skills
- The Network- NUS helps students develop a truly global network through the diversity of students in the class and by facilitating several international programs such as study treks and internships.
Format- The essay could be chronological – past experience leading to goals and then the NUS MBA or with the goals stated first, followed by past experience and the NUS MBA. Do include a brief introduction and conclusion.
NUS Optional Essay
Is there any additional information relevant to your application that you’d like to share with the Admissions Committee? (200 words)
To write or not to write this essay concerns a number of MBA applicants each season. We suggest you first complete your entire application, except for this essay. Then go through the application to see if there is something additional you wish to highlight. These could be one or more of the below,
- Most schools want you to use this question to explain something about your background/experiences that requires explanation or further clarity (e.g. an unexplained gap year/low undergraduate grades/low test scores)
- You can also use this essay to showcase another unique facet of your personality which would hasn’t been covered elsewhere
- You can use the optional essay to address the choice of the recommender. Sometimes the candidates aren’t comfortable asking their current employer since they aren’t ready to share their MBA plans. Hence, this space can be used to explain the rationale behind this
NUS Re-applicants only Essay
Please provide an update on any new aspects of your professional, international, academic, or personal profile that would not have been included in your previous application. Please also explain your motivation for re-applying to NUS. (300 words)

If you’re planning to study abroad, particularly in Singapore, the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) MBA program undoubtedly ranks high on your list. Renowned for its diverse student body and strong placement in key industries, NUS offers a transformative experience that goes beyond conventional learning.
THE ROLE OF ESSAYS IN MBA ADMISSIONS
In the journey of securing a spot in this prestigious program, your essays play a pivotal role. They are not just a formality but a window for the admissions committee to glimpse into your personality, goals, and suitability for the program. So, let’s dive into how you can craft essays that stand out and truly reflect who you are.
UNDERSTANDING THE ESSAY PROMPTS
Analyzing each essay prompt.
NUS MBA application essays are designed to assess your fit for the program. Each prompt is an opportunity to showcase different facets of your background and aspirations.
- Option A: Passionate about…
- Option B: Greatest challenge…
- Option C: Biggest failure…
- Discuss your immediate career plans post-MBA, including industry, function, and country of choice.
- Share anything not covered elsewhere in your application.
- Update on new achievements since your last application and explain why you’re reapplying.
KEY STRATEGIES FOR RESPONSES
For each prompt, authenticity and specificity are key. Reflect on your experiences and articulate your thoughts clearly. Here’s how you can approach each:
- For Passion/Challenge/Failure: Dive deep into your experiences. What did you learn, and how did it shape you?
- Post-MBA Goals : Be specific about your career path. How does NUS fit into this plan?
- Additional Information : Use this space wisely to highlight unique aspects of your profile.
- Re-applicant Essay: Show growth and renewed motivation for choosing NUS.
STRATEGIES FOR CRAFTING COMPELLING ESSAYS
Crafting a compelling MBA essay is not just about answering questions; it’s about storytelling, about painting a vivid picture of who you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re headed. Here’s how you can make your NUS MBA essays resonate with the admissions committee:
REFLECTING YOUR PERSONALITY
Your essays are your voice in the admissions process. Let them hear you:
- Be Authentic: Share real stories and experiences, not what you think they want to hear.
- Show, Don’t Tell: Use specific examples to illustrate your points. This makes your essay more engaging and memorable.
BALANCING PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL ANECDOTES
A well-rounded essay includes both professional achievements and personal insights:
- Professional Achievements : Highlight key accomplishments, leadership experiences, or challenges overcome at work.
- Personal Insights : Share hobbies, passions, or personal experiences that have shaped your character.
COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
Even the most seasoned essay writers can fall into common traps. Here are some to avoid in your NUS MBA essays:
STEERING CLEAR OF CLICHÉS
Clichés make your essay sound generic. Avoid phrases like ‘think outside the box’ or ‘game-changer.’ Instead, use unique descriptions that reflect your individuality.
ALIGNING ESSAYS WITH CAREER GOALS
Ensure that your essays align with your stated career goals:
- Consistency : Your career aspirations should align with your experiences and the strengths of the NUS MBA program.
- Research : Show that you understand how NUS will help you achieve your goals. Mention specific courses, professors, or programs.
SAMPLE ESSAY ANALYSES
Learning from successful essays is a great way to understand what NUS MBA is looking for. Let’s break down some key elements from sample essays that have made an impact.
DISSECTING SUCCESSFUL ESSAYS
- Storytelling : The best essays tell a compelling story. They start with a hook, develop with rich details and personal insights, and conclude with a strong statement about future goals and aspirations.
- Clear Structure: Successful essays have a clear beginning, middle, and end. They are easy to follow and make logical progressions from one point to the next.
- Personal Reflection : Essays that stand out include introspection and personal growth. They show how past experiences have shaped the applicant’s future ambitions.
LEARNING FROM EXAMPLES
- Example 1: An essay that details overcoming a significant personal challenge, and how this experience fostered resilience and a deeper understanding of diverse cultures – crucial for an international MBA program.
- Example 2: An applicant describing a professional project they led, highlighting leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, directly aligning these experiences with the skills needed for an MBA and post-MBA career goals.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR APPLICANTS
Finally, let’s look at some additional tips that can give you an edge in your application to the NUS MBA program.
RESUME/CV CONSIDERATIONS
- Tailor Your Resume : Ensure your resume complements your essays. Highlight experiences that showcase leadership, teamwork, and other skills relevant to the MBA program.
- Quantifiable Achievements : Use numbers and statistics to make your achievements stand out. For example, ‘increased sales by 20%’ is more impactful than ‘improved sales.’
INTERVIEW PREPARATION STRATEGIES
- Know Your Story: Be ready to discuss everything in your application in more depth, especially your essays.
- Research NUS: Understand the program’s nuances and be prepared to explain why it’s the right fit for you.
- Mock Interviews : Practice with friends, mentors, or professionals to gain confidence and receive feedback.
As we reach the end of this comprehensive guide, remember that your NUS MBA essays are a unique opportunity to showcase who you are beyond your grades and test scores. These essays are your chance to stand out in a crowded field of applicants, to show the admissions committee not just your ambitions and achievements, but your personality, your drive, and your potential as a future business leader.
Summarizing Key Insights
- Authenticity is Key : Be genuine in your storytelling. Let your unique voice and experiences shine through.
- Align with Your Goals: Ensure your essays align with your career aspirations and showcase how NUS MBA will help you achieve them.
- Be Strategic : Use your essays to cover different aspects of your profile, ensuring a well-rounded application.
Final Encouragements
Embarking on the journey to an MBA, especially in a prestigious institution like NUS, is both exciting and challenging. Remember, your application is a reflection of your journey so far and a window into your future potential. Approach it with confidence and sincerity, and you’re already on the path to success.

NUS MBA Essay Tips & Deadlines
My tips for completing the NUS MBA application are below in blue.
1. Please answer ONE of the following short essay prompts. (300 words)
a. I am passionate about… b. My greatest challenge has been… c. My biggest failure was ….
All three of these questions are opportunities to share an interesting experience from your life. Passion comes through with differentiating details (did you compete in 10Ks every weekend? Did you turn $500 in high school summer earnings into an investment portfolio worth thousands?). Challenges are overcome with drive, tenacity, and commitment. Failures are learning experiences and launch pads for subsequent successes. Share an example here that will help the admission committee see your individuality come alive.
2. Briefly describe your immediate post-MBA career goal including your industry, function and country of choice and how have your prior experiences motivated and prepared you to pursue these goals? (300 words)
All MBA programs want their students to be pleased with the employment they find and the career trajectory ahead of them after graduation. Applicants must demonstrate in this essay that they know what they can expect to achieve within five years of graduating so that the admissions office will believe you are realistically driven.
If you do not know any NUS MBAs personally, you may find LinkedIn searches for NUS alumni very useful to see what a wide range of MBA alumni have succeeded in doing within around five years of graduating. Go to NUS’s LinkedIn page and then use the Search Alumni button, then restrict your search to alumni who graduated around 2012 or 2013 to get a sense of their five-year progress. This isn’t foolproof: you must check that you are looking at MBA graduates (and not undergraduate degree holders or exchange students), but this will offer you wider insight than your own small circle of acquaintances. Go ahead and reach out to alumni through LinkedIn and through your personal network to discuss how they reached the advancement that they did to add depth to your own plans for this essay.
3. If there is anything else you would like to share with the Admissions Committee that was not covered in your application, please include here. (300 words)
The first two essays were short, so there is almost certainly more in your background: additional areas of leadership, influence, and impact , for example. While this optional space may certainly be used to explain a weakness or flaw in your background, I highly recommend shining the spotlight on an area of strength in the process: poor grades do not have to stand on their own when you can demonstrate that you spent your undergraduate education in significant extracurricular leadership roles, for example.
4. (Only applicable to re-applicants) Please provide an update on any new aspects of your professional, international, academic or personal profile that would not have been included in your previous application. Please also explain your motivation for re-applying to NUS. (Maximum: 300 words)
Reapplying demonstrates your sincere interest in this program, so don’t assume that the admissions committee is biased against you. Instead, use this space to show that you have used the time since you applied to take on new challenges, expand your leadership experience, and build insight in areas that will interest your NUS classmates and future recruiters. The final aspect of the essay prompt – about your motivation for re-applying to NUS – also offers you the opportunity to show that you’ve done your research about the NUS MBA : what students have you spoken to and what have you learned about how this program will help you on your path? What makes NUS special? Those details will further demonstrate your readiness for the program.

Ardelia Djati Safira has a habit of becoming the first. She was the youngest person to ever lead an investment project at PT PPA Kapital, an Indonesian private equity firm. In the process, she managed a team of 20 – many much older than she was. It was a role, Safira says, that prepared her to handle everything from preparing due diligence to managing personalities. Despite her impact and influence, she felt “boxed in” – exposed only to one way of seeing and doing things.
“I thought it was the time for me to go out of my comfort zone and explore new things in a new place with new people,” she tells P&Q . “I still need to sharpen my business intuition, learn deeply about business know-how, practise negotiation skills, and sharpen my decision-making process.
THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT
Last year, Safira decided to pursue an MBA to prepare her for executive leadership – or start her own company. Her search ultimately led her to the National University of Singapore Business School as a member of the Class of 2022. One reason for her choice, she says, was the program’s emphasis on self-discovery.
“For me, an MBA program is a safe time and space to evaluate shortcomings and establish foundational strategies to work on those imperfections,” she explains. “The NUS MBA offers amazing experiential learning modules, which include “Launch Your Transformation”, “MBA Survival Kit”, and “MBA Consulting Project”. These modules will help me discover my true strengths and overcome my weaknesses. I am excited to start my own version of transformation with The NUS MBA.”
As an MBA student, Safira has already recorded another first. She was elected by her classmates to be the first female president of the NUS MBA Students’ Council. It was a huge boost for Safira, who is also a mother. The honor was made even more meaningful after the pressure-packed “Faceoff” session before the votes were cast.
“It is an open session where students who would like to be the leaders of The NUS MBA Students’ Council have to deliver a 1-minute pitch and answer multiple questions from faculty members, campus officers, and the cohort. It was a very meaningful experience for me because I learned to deliver my plans and craft my answers to some challenging questions in a short period of time.”
NUS Business School
A LONG LIST OF ACCOLADES
Safira isn’t alone in embracing leadership among the Class of 2022. In her first two months at NUS Business School, Mosam Choksi has helped organized three events and been elected as President of the NUS MBA Consulting Club. Not surprisingly, Aayush , a former nuclear scientist, was chosen to lead the NUS MBA Energy Club. At the same time, Bayar Delgernaran helped lead a team that has made it to the final round of the NUS Fintech Month Hackathon.
“In just a few hours, we worked together in harmony and created a well-rounded system that detected corporate loan fraud. I was pleasantly surprised that we even got selected.”
These early successes are just an extension of the class’ career momentum. At 21, for example, Mosam Choksi was already presenting at board meetings. The PwC consultant has since landed three promotions and worked in seven countries. Within three years of graduating from college, Estelle Ang Yi Jia became the top salesperson at Rohde & Schwarz Asia – home to 1,300 employees and 20 subsidiaries. And she didn’t relinquish the top spot until she enrolled at NUS Business School, either. By the same token, Bayar Delgernaran has risen to the challenge and beaten the odds wherever he found himself.
“Even though I did not know anything about marketing, after many trials-and-errors, I was able to help grow the Kobo business in Japan grow from one of the smallest players to being a dominant player in the span of over a year,” he tells P&Q . “In Canada, I learned how to code in SQL and was able to improve on its CRM system through a clear reporting system that showed where we could improve in conversion rates. As a business developer working from Singapore, I was able to work on the marketing strategy of Taiwan’s first fully digital bank. As an entrepreneur, I was able to assemble and manage a robust development team in Mongolia and develop the Irbis platform which matches investors and startups.”
ACHIEVEMENTS RECOGNIZED AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS
In fact, you’ll find the Class of 2022’s fingerprints all across the globe. Aayush, for one, saved one client $14 million dollars. In the process, he boosted their productivity by a third through developing a process optimization simulation. His design was so innovative that he was recognized by the Indian Prime Minister’s office! In Pakistan, Hongyi Liu led a 50-member team for China’s FAW Group. In one year, the team produced $30 million dollars in export value or nearly a third of the company’s annual GMV exports. Then again, Samantha Mae Yau Bautista – “A banker by profession who is a creative at heart” – got to see her achievements recognized in one of the most public platforms imaginable.
“In Security Bank, I was part of a dynamic transformation team in charge of digitizing and growing our retail bank,” she writes. “As a part of this team, I led numerous projects, such as the launch of our mobile banking application, the streamlining of our deposit products, and the creation of a new credit card and loan products. All of our efforts were rewarded when we were awarded as the Best Retail Bank in the Philippines 2018 by The Asian Banker . Receiving the trophy with my colleagues in an event in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia continues to be one of the fondest memories of my time with the bank.”
Neil Nevgi started his career as a mechanical engineer. Eventually, he pivoted to entrepreneurship, producing a rent-to-own operation – one that generated $125K in seed funding and employed nearly two dozen people. Like any entrepreneur, Nevgi is an example of perseverance in whatever challenge he tackles.
“From being hospitalized for severe dehydration after my first ever 10km run, I have now completed four half-marathons,” he tells P&Q . “Next target is to complete a full marathon in 2021 and still look photogenic at the finish line.”
NUS Business School MBA students
OPEN-MINDED AND GLOBALLY AWARE
Indeed, you’ll find the Class of 2022 stays plenty busy outside work and class. Samantha Mae Yau Bautista is an illustrator and graphic designer, while Ardelia Djati Safira loves to sing, play piano, and paint. That Renaissance spirit is also alive in Victoria Mitrofanova . She can speak four languages – and is certified in hand-to-hand combat. And don’t overlook Bayar Delgernaran. He started university when he was 15 – skipping three grades in the process.
And how is this for a double life? “I solved complex nuclear physics equations by the day and taught Bollywood Zumba by evening,” jokes Aayush.
And how does the class describe their peers? Aayush applies the term “high emotional intelligence” – adding “open-minded, empathetic, and articulate” for good measure. Andrea Coello Kunz – a Deloitte senior consultant and “globe-trotting food engineer” – also uses “open-minded” as a distinguishing quality of her classmates.
“Considering we all have such different backgrounds and grew in opposite corners of the worlds, there is still a constant sense of curiosity and a frequent need to share what makes us unique with others,” Coello Kunz explains. “Everyone seeks to understand each other even when we do have some cultural barriers.”
For Mosam Choksi, “global awareness” is what sets her peers apart. “My classmates come from the most diverse backgrounds and from across the world. Every day in class, I hear stories and experiences from them, each so unique. The learnings I have from these experiences have been the highlight of my MBA journey so far.”
ACADEMIC RIGOR
During the 2019-2020 application cycle, the NUS MBA received 791 applications and ultimately enrolled 106 students (not counting the 19 students who deferred to 2023). The class boasts a 663 average GMAT and 670 median score, with the range being 670-710 in the mid-85% range. 11% of the class entered the program with a GRE score.
True to the program’s international flavour, 93.4% of the class hails from outside Singapore. In total, the NUS Business School attracted students from 24 countries, with 31.7% of the class being women. Academically, the largest segments of the class hold undergraduate degrees in Engineering and Technology (35.8%), Business (20.8%), and Finance (16%). In terms of professional backgrounds, 22.6% of the class last worked in Financial Services, with Consulting and Business Services accounting for another 16% of the class.
One reason for the school’s popularity? Think rigorous academics. After all, three NUS Business School faculty members have made P&Q ’s Best 40 Under 40 Professors list since 2015: Joel Goh , Kai Chi Yam , and Jonan Sulaeman . Thus far, the Class of 2022 has been impressed by the academic programming.
“The NUS MBA provides MBA fundamentals such as financial management and corporate strategy, but also leadership development,” writes Ma Yuhan , an international legal counsel for a consumer appliance manufacturer. “This has helped me gain a clear insight into the various facets of management. The core courses in the first semester are fun as well as useful. Professors are experienced, resourceful, and creative. I’ve really enjoyed the classes and interacting with professors and classmates alike.”
A FEELING OF “KIASU”
NUS Business School interior
You could call the first semester a rite of passage. Here, MBAs master an array of business essentials, models, and tools. As a result, students are able that prepare MBAs to bring unique value and insight into a wealth of hands-on learning opportunities that follow. That was the case for Corinne Mae Ablaza , a P&Q MBA to Watch in 2020 who now works in renewable energy investments for one of Germany’s largest commercial banks.
“The first semester may be more focused on knowledge and hard skills as core modules are introduced to strengthen our fundamentals,” she admits. “However, through club activities and access to the larger communities at NUS, I was exposed to numerous networking and industry learning opportunities. I also had the chance to participate in several case competitions and a global immersion program to London. By the second semester, I was able to leverage the foundation established in the earlier semester and really dive deep into areas I found most interesting. This was through the myriad of elective modules and the experiential learning component which provided me with additional practical experience. For example, through the MBA Consulting Project, I spent five months guiding a non-profit organisation (NPO) to develop its long-term strategic plan.”
For Mosam Choksi, the first semester can be summed up this way: You’ll never be bored. “There is so much to do here, especially in the first semester – classes, students’ council, events, networking, social gatherings, case competitions – just to name a few. There is no way you can do everything, and this instills a feeling of ‘kiasu’ aka FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Moreover, I have noticed how time flies. I cannot believe that I am already halfway through the first semester. It feels like I just got off the plane yesterday.”
