I am offered a place by UCL and Warwick for Econs and awaiting LSE reply. I would really like to study in UK but need to self finance my overseas studies. My family is not rich but parents are willing to finance my overseas studies. However, we will need to make adjustment to our spending inorder to finance my overseas studies.

I will return to Singapore to work in the finance sector. Is the overseas studies really worth spending S$250k? Are SMU ddp scholars highly regarded in the private sector? Will overseas grads be paid much more than local grads?

Tks
Take fms even if go Ivy League university, if work in Singapore, still worse off than nus ntu smu grad, will be debt ridden and prospects = local Uni Grad. Fch nus ntu smu >= fch Ivy League.

But will be diff if u take up Govt scholarship to go overseas study. Wise choice is to take the smu scholarship.
