How should I prepare for NUS MBA interview?

Steps to prepare well for the NUS MBA interview:

• Know the format: The interview typically lasts 20–30 minutes and is conducted by an admissions team member. Since they may not have seen your full application, be ready to walk them through your profile in a structured, concise way.
• Practice behavioral responses: Expect situational questions like “Tell me about a time you handled failure.” Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to answer clearly and show growth.
• Show program alignment: Highlight how NUS’s focus on Asia-Pacific business, innovation labs, or leadership modules matches your goals. Be specific—generic praise won’t stand out.
• Show international awareness: NUS values global thinking. Share a moment where you adapted in a cross-cultural setting or worked with diverse teams.
• Ask something insightful: End with a question that reflects your interest in NUS—maybe about a particular module, alumni network, or club.
