Each year, we receive thousands of applications and we spend a considerable amount of time and efforts pouring through each application in detail. Each application is
important to us, as this is a critical step to grooming leaders for a sustainable world.

Many are curious as to whether there is a certain set of criteria that determines
entrance into the program, and the answer is, no.

Firstly, to be able to apply, you should already be prepared with some of the
mandatory requirements such as a GMAT score (of a minimum of 600 points), a
minimum of 2 years’ full-time working experience post bachelor degree, a bachelor degree and a TOEFL score (of a minimum of 100 points) if English was not the medium of instruction at your university.

The application form is an important document that must be duly filled out and
submitted before we are able to study an applicant’s profile. Hence, we’re unable to
accede to email requests for quick ‘advice’ of an aspirant’s ‘chances of getting into the program’, based on their work history and simple description of their educational
backgrounds.

A holistic view into your true calibre would only be visible to us, through your answers entered into the application form, your career journey in the form of a CV, and all
other accompanying documents, including your GMAT score. This then allows us to
fairly and accurately access you against all the other qualified applicants, and haul
you in for an interview if you have been shortlisted.

Whilst there is no typical profile we look out for, year in year out, a single criteria
remains constant; we admit individuals who have the X-factor to become responsible
leaders who have the intrinsic qualities to lead in a sustainable world. An aptitude that
matches the program’s objectives clearly puts you ahead of your competition.

We encourage you to answer all questions with your innermost ambitions and
earnestness. Nothing matters more than being true to yourself. And as with any job
application, you should attend the interview well-prepared, especially with a well-
charted career plan.

With this, we wish all aspirants to The NANYANG MBA all the best in this endeavor and a fruitful journey to their goals!
