Yeah, we nees more people to key in data and filing up forms.. can never get enough people to do that

Its not that NTU and NUS buisness are not good at being vocal when it comes to their topics of self interest. Its just that smu ones does a better job

But really depends on what kind of education you want that will determine your choice!

To the OP: good luck in selecting your uni choice!

SMU Business - 1st choice
NTU Business - 2nd choice
NUS Business - 3rd choice

why? I would have thought NUS is a better choice than NTU.

1st choice - NUS (2015 world rank: 12th)
2nd choice - NTU (2015 world rank: 13th)
3rd choice - SMU (2015 world rank: Nil)

Don't be a joker, the NUS brand name easily trumps all other local unis.

The cuf off point is also way higher. SMU kids might not have the grades to enter NUS while NUS kids definitely can enter SMU.

Need to burst your ego. All three are treated equal by employers, no such thing as one is more branded than the other. Cut off refers to the popularity of the said university. If you are so proud of NUS by all means but to suggest that it is the most superior in the local tertiary landscape is blowing trumpet. I have a daughter in NUS year3 in a course more demanding in terms of entry grade than its business school yet I can only say that it is a good university as NTU is also just as good.

You must not have gone overseas to study/work for prolonged periods of time or have significant number of expat friends/colleagues and students who study at top schools.

If you think that a BBB entry point at SMU Business is equal to an AAA at NUS, then yeah, you are as gullible as you're myopic. I have friends at SMU business and they are so stupid that I wonder how they got into university in the first place. There is no substitute for intellectual capacity, and that is represented by your grades, end of story.

what do expats / foreigners think of the local schools?

The "National" i.e. flagship university is always better.

Take Seoul National University, University of Tokyo, Australian National University, the list goes on.
