guess like you have to get cum laude & above or bust
Depends on what you want bro:
Graduate Employment Survey 2013 (Published 2014) | Salary.sg - Your Salary in Singapore
The post from brightspark may be a good gauge? But is releatively old. If you look at the new GES 2014 based on 2013
Smu Lee kong chian business (cum laude) > NTU business and accountancy dual degree (starting pay)
(Something interesting here is that it is not specified that cum laude genereally has to be double degree for smu, and may already provide an additional plus point if this is a case, than you will have to ask yourself:
Is having a cum laude with just double major more marketable than a double degree or vice versa? Is NTU's double degree more "shiny" because of their ranking? What job do you really want? If you want to be a civil serpant in e long term NTU should be your choice because they often "go safe and by the book-relevant business; suatainabe and stable tactics". (U know what govt like this style of teaching rite? Hehehe)
Smu focus more on innovation, creativity and out of the box ideologies, to make a difference, to constantly change and innovate.
To sum up, smu specializes in innovation, change and creativity to adopt to rapid changes for business
NTU specializes in administration and suatainable, stable development for business
than again, this is based on my poly lecturer who was from NTU business but it is an opinion and you should ask around more for a better and clearer overview
Oh I also found out that SMU provides internships to many presrigeous overseas uni's. It is one of the, if not top international schools to go, for the business undergraduate program. U may wish to do more research on this (P.S you may not find havard on the rankings because it does not offer undergraduate programs for business, only masters)
As mentioned by another poster, NUS and SMU provide wider overseas exchange programs and internships. NUS provides internships to pennsylvania but not sure of wharton biz school is included (u may wish to find out more from our NUS friends)
Hmm, in my personal opinion, even with a handul of graduates earning a 5 figure sum in SMU, it will still br very hard to scale the figures. Idk about in the past, ( that thread is quite old) but currently SMU has the largest cohort intake of biz students and they have a population of 700+ and a bigger sample size over NTU and NUS. If anything, it would make the figures more credible.
actually quite alot of students there are elitist, family are rich or have connection. But nonetheless most of them are alright to work and befriend with. Just take note to brush up to your present yourself better and be more outspoken before starting your school. Good luck to your school.
You got statistics to prove? And yes, according to your logic quite a lot of students accross all 3 unis are "elitist, family are rich and have connection"
Or rather can be re-phrased as competitive, well to do families and good networking skills"
This is a no-brainer and what did you expect from these three top-tier universities anyway? It is competitive to get good grades and most students would already learn how to network and make valuable friendship during the course of their tertiary education.
