Yale-NUS Heads Out to Talk to the World!

Dear Prospective Students, Parents, Friends,
Things have been going full steam ahead here at the Yale-NUS College Office of Admissions over the past month!  We have received our first set of applications in our Special Inaugural Round of Admissions and it’s been a busy April with all our reading and interviewing.  With the last stretch of the admissions cycle ahead of us, we expect to release decisions very soon.  Everyone who has submitted a complete application will hear back from us by 15 May 2012 at the very latest.
This summer, Yale-NUS College will be traveling around the world!  Yale-NUS College and Yale University will hit the road together in May and June 2012 for a series of public information sessions in some very exciting cities.  Come check us out at these venues: http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/index.php/events.html - more locations and events will be added to this page over the coming weeks.
We also have an exciting announcement to make: Yale-NUS College is now officially a member of the Common Application (https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/default.aspx).  This means that if you apply to US colleges or universities using the Common App later this year, you can use this same application to apply to Yale-NUS College in any of our Regular Rounds of Admissions (http://yale-nus.edu.sg/index.php/apply/application-process/application-deadlines.html).  This saves you the hassle of filling out many different applications!
And lastly, as many of you would know, Yale-NUS College has been making the headlines over the past 2 weeks.  We have reposted various articles and commentaries on our Yale-NUS blog (www.yalenusblog.com), so do come check us out and let us know what you think.
As always, if you have any questions, please email us at admissions@yale-nus.edu.sg – we promise to get back to you as soon as we can.

Best wishes,
Yale-NUS College Admissions

Some not-to-be-missed recent highlights include:

Who should write my teacher recommendations?
Which Round of Admissions should I apply in?


Whenever you need a break from studying, take a moment to check out the updated FAQs page at: http://yale-nus.edu.sg/Admissions-and-Financial-Aid-FAQ.html


We have also lined up a fabulous series of events for you starting in January next year.
