Oh, do only shortlisted applicants for the interview get invited to apply for fin aid? Because I’ve seen no documents to submit for FA on their website. Thanks
The documents/forms for FA will be provided during the interview (Or rather after the interview)

Anyone who applied direct to Yale-NUS got interview calls? I know a couple who shared the Common App to Yale with YNC have already completed their interviews. Wondering if anyone who applied early & direct to Yale-NUS have been called for interview.
@ccauth, seems like so. It’s actually smart from Yale-NUS’s perspective. Since only shortlisted applicants have a chance of admission, it makes sense to only process financial aid documents from these applicants. Reduce workload for their financial aid staff.
The FA form is provided with your invitation to the interview.
@India2018 I’m an international student, applied directly to Yale-NUS, received an invitation to the interview last week, having the interview this week. I am extremely surprised they are sending them out this early.
@India2018 I also applied directly to YNC and recieved an invitation to interview a few days ago. (international qualification but local citizen)
@momentousmeerkat Where are you from?
Did you all get the Yale-NUS + Duke-NUS pathway program email? Looks like they are offering direct admit to Duke-NUS medical school to Yale-NUS applicants for the first time this year. Applicants will have to write another essay and if selected, do another interview.
Anyone has insight into the Duke-NUS program?
Thanks @momentousmeerkat and @sghkg8 Congratulations on the interview call and all the best! Please share your interview experience here.

@sghkg8 so you basically receive an interview invitation 13 hours later? That’s amazing congrats!!
@ccauth Yes I did! I was really impressed by their efficiency!
Male/Female? Wishing the best.
@ariiiii I’m from Eastern Europe, what about you?
@India2018 Thank you! I submitted my application on the 9th, and I got the interview invite on the 12th. I’ve heard of people getting the invite in February, so don’t worry about it, the invite will probably arrive 1-2 weeks before the 24th of February, as that is when the FA from has to be submitted.
Also, for anyone who’s done the interview- when did your interviewer contact you?
Best of luck to everyone!!
@momentousmeerkat They sent me an email reminder a week prior to the interview, my interviewer added me on Skype the night before and messaged me approx. 10 mins prior to the interview. Hope that helps!
@Changi17 Thanks! How did your interview go? Was it with the admissions officer or with a current student?
I had an admissions officer. It went really well, lasted 30 minutes (just as long as advertised).
@momentousmeerkat Hong Kong!
can people who got interviewed/will interview share their stats? Thanks!
