@kennyong9 I have a 34 ACT and good grades. Hang in there. I’m sure that they haven’t stopped sending out invites
NEED HELP URGENTLY.
I shared my app with Yale NUS on the 1st of Jan but I have not submitted the optional essay till now because I was sick. The essay is ready now. Should I submit it asap to be considered (and hopefully get shortlisted for an interview) or should I apply for round 3 now from the common app ?
@Cadaver you can get an interview without submitting the essay too (one of my friends forgot to submit his essay and he still got one)
@anotherdude
How do you know the acceptance rate is 15-30%? Do you know how many internationals they take this round?
@zduo131 2-3 friends have told me about that. I do not have a reliable source for that info. I dont know about how many internationals get the interview though.
Hey @Cadaver, I’m an international student from Canada who also applied to Yale-NUS through the CommonApp, by checking a box on the Yale application. I haven’t submitted the optional essay “Why Yale-NUS?” and I got shortlisted for an interview on January 25. I don’t feel qualified to give any advice about your situation, but I hope that my post makes you feel better about not submitting the optional essay yet. You still have a chance of getting an interview! 
Hey guys, I’m an International student applying to Yale-NUS too. I applied via Common App (not shared with Yale’s application). Please let me know if anyone in the same case as I am got the interview invitation?
@Massupilami69 A friend and I did the same thing as you. Got the interview (we’re internationals too)
@anotherdude Congs. I’m very happy for you guys. Can you let me know when did you guys get your interview?
@anotherdude I applied to both Yale and Yale-NUS. In my Yale’s application, I chose not to share my application with Yale-NUS and chose to apply in a different box. However, in my Yale-NUS’s Portal, the Application Proof is exactly what I wrote for Yale. Do you guys experience the same problem?
Hey @Massupilami69! Same situation, and I got the interview request on January 25 
Oh wait nevermind, I just read what you wrote about ** not ** sharing it with Yale’s application; I shared my application with Yale-NUS.
Hi…I was wondering if you got into Yale.
Anyone have their interview yet?
@zduo131 I just had mine last night! I had a skype interview, and it went really well! The questions were very typically questions though (what do you think you would bring to YNC, etc.) Good luck to the rest of you!
Are they still sending out interview requests?
They are, I just got mine this morning, from the US
Thanks. You saved my hope
@Massupilami69 That happened to me! I applied to Yale-NUS separately and did not share my Yale app, but Yale’s stuff showed up in my application proof. Not sure what that means. I was shortlisted last month.
I applied to Yale-NUS through Yale’s Common App and I received an interview request today!
