<p>spencer1111 is pretty much accurate. </p>
<p>Would like to add, SMU is a great school if you are (1) a Singaporean (2) intend to climb the corporate ladder in Singapore. Indeed the university is selling itself so well such that it is luring some of the top calibre Singaporean students into matriculating. It’s done so well that many local firms like SMU students. </p>
<p>However, if you’re an international student, SMU will be a bad choice. The global reputation for SMU is still somewhat pathetic. Nobody really cares about the school’s affiliation with Wharton. Seriously, the perceived ‘prestige’ if any at all of SMU is only within Singapore. Once you leave the shores of Singapore, your 4 year SMU degree= no-name degree. </p>
<p>An average school like University of Miami will blow SMU out of the water.</p>
