@India2018 Hi! It’s actually not true that interviews are concluding when they start mailing FinAid applications. The moment you get shortlisted for an interview, you can begin to apply for FinAid. So it’s definitely not true that interviews are concluding because some students are applying for FinAid 
@achilleees Well I would not know about that as I have not been interviewed. So are you saying when you got the invitation for the interview, you were simultaneously asked to apply for FA?
I agree that there may be some overlaps in the time windows. One might still get an interview invite as others are being asked for additional FA documents. But going by generally what happened last year, R1 applicants started receiving such FA document requests after all, or nearly all of the interviews were concluded.
Anyone receive an email asking for additional FA documents??
@India2018 I’m not sure what was the case last year, but for this year’s case everyone who gets shortlisted for an interview is invited to apply for FinAid, plus some people got the invitation to apply for FinAid before the R1 applications were even closed, so it’s unlikely that YNC requests FinAid documents after interviews are over or mostly over.
Basically, bottom line is interview invitations are likely still going out, and anyone who hasn’t gotten one yet shouldn’t fret! Until you get an email from them saying you’re rejected, don’t assume that you have been!
@ccauth I received an email clarifying something I submitted in my FinAid application
@achilleees when did you receive it? immediately after you submitted your FA app? does not receiving one means that you don’t make it through the admissions and not the FA consideration?..
Not sure about it, but I doubt that interviews are closing just based on that they are emailing about additional FA documents.
I recall them clarifying that if you submitted before 28th February you’ll receive the FA decision tgh with the Uni decision. Otherwise you’d recieve it later when they get to it.
I’m supposing that the uni emails to “chase” for the FA docs so that they can provide applicants the full package of decisions.
@RayLiSingapore I suppose that they will consider your FA application after they decide to admit you? so that those who receive email asking for FA documents mean that they are accepted?
@ccauth I received that about a week or so after I submitted my FinAid application. They emailed me because something I wrote in my FinAid didn’t correspond with my actual application, so they wanted more information. Not getting an email from them definitely doesn’t mean you’re not getting accepted or whatever - it probably just means that you filled out your FinAid perfectly and they don’t require additional info from you!
@achilleees thanks for answering! i’m just worried becuz seems like those who were emailed last year about their FA app were subsequently admitted
Is there any chance of being interviewed now? The beginning of March is already here…
They asked me for additional FA documents and details in mid-February, but I agree with @achilleees that it’s not an indication of acceptance. If they did not ask additional information from you, it’s either because they haven’t gone through your FA application (considering not all FA applications can be read simultaneously) or your information provided was sufficient for them to make a decision.
Guys, the decisions will be out before the 29th of March because that is when the deadline for registration for EYW 2018 is. Here is a link: https://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/eyw/
Here is the program https://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/EYW-2018-April-Program-8-Feb-1.pdf
Woah, nice find @momentousmeerkat! I guess decisions will probably be the same time as last year, about the last week of March? Or do you guys think it might be from the 2nd last week onwards?
@achilleees So last year the registration deadline was April 5th, and the decisions came out March 23rd, thus they gave 2 weeks for the admitted students to sign up. Now, if this year’s deadline for registration is 29th of March, we should get the decisions around the 15th of March (which is next week lol). All of this is speculation though, so don’t take my word for it
Thanks for updating us @momentousmeerkat . This wait is actually making me anxious. Do you guys think we would be expecting TNT Express email like the applicants for CO2021 received?
@momentousmeerkat thanks for that! and yes I am extremely nervous now 
@BarryA what’s TNT express email?
@BarryA I do think it’s a good sign if you receive one. Is the TNT Express email notification only available for those who live in the US?
This is crazy that it’s happening so fast. I’m so excited/nervous!
@achilleees @ccauth TNT express was the email class of 2021 received about some parcel being shipped to them; seem to be admission packet but I don’t think everyone received it. I’m sorry I don’t know if it’s exclusively for US but the service seems to be international.
