<p>Yes SMU’s newer but it’s got a better placement record than NUS, especially in investment banking and finance-related positions in general.</p>
<p>eg, the only IBD analyst ( from the local schools ) taken in by JPMorgan was from SMU. </p>
<p>If you’re looking at stuff like Engineering or Arts then go for NUS, duh</p>
<p>Why aren’t you shooting for the top schools in America? You can’t let something as trivial as money bog you down.</p>
