Yale-NUS College - Class of 2025

My daughter submitted for the Jan 15 deadline. Got an email on Jan 28 informing her of being shortlisted for the Admissions interview. Completed the interview by mid Feb with a current Senior student. My daughter said it was pretty chill and relaxed - the usual why Yale NUS, what major and why, what she’d contribute to the Yale NUS experience, etc.

Interviewer said to expect a decision by April 1. We are international.

I wasn’t considering just academic scores, many of them even went TO

Not too many great acceptances for me, just UIUC, GA Tech, UCSD, UCLA, Wisconsin-Madison yet. I am waiting for Berkeley, CMU, Duke, Northwestern, and all the Ivies.

weird flex but ok. UCLA is literally the best public institution out there , and Gatech is amongst the top for stem programs. also while I am at , get over yourself. there are a lot of indian students in our groupchat getting shortlisted for an interview. a lot of deserving students bound to get rejected eventually , as it’s a very small college and thus, very competitive.

Man I wasn’t trying to flex. The schools that I wanted aren’t out yet, and I can’t afford any of these so the chances of me staying in India are pretty high as of now.

then you worded it wrong - “not too many great acceptances just…”. I thought indian ppl would not have a language barrier after all

I don’t see any Indian on the thread who got an interview.

scroll up a bit where you can find a link to our prospective class of 2025 gc on telegram. you can find quite a few shortlisted indians there

Hi Arhann, I think you might be posting on the wrong thread. Yale-NUS and NUS are separate institutions, and Yale-NUS does not offer CS as a major.

can you please link it here. i checked all the previous threads i dont see any link there.

i think he was talking about this major. Mathematical, Computational and Statistical Sciences

That would make more sense. Hopefully s/he meant Yale-NUS, although s/he kept referring to NUS.

It seems completing the Why Yale-NUS essay is a condition to obtaining an interview. After all, smaller liberal arts colleges won’t want to waste their time and resources on applicants without demonstrated interest.

Hi guys!
Some of you guys are finding the tele link for 2025 prospective students! Here is the link! Just saying again CC doesn’t allow me to put the link so I have left a gap between “ht” and “tps” please link the “ht” to “tps” for the link to work! See you guys there in the tele group !

I actually received an interview well before I submitted my Yale-NUS essay

Hey there, a fellow indian here.

I got called for an interview back in December 2020.

Anyone from Round 2 has gotten notification for interview?

Any ideas when decisions are coming out for round 1?

Might be tomorrow (due to historical notification dates). If not, it is either April 1st or before that date.

Any round 2 applicants got an interview yet? I applied round 1 last year and got an interview but got waitlisted. Currently waiting for news as I applied in round 2 this time

Did everyone get the email from Yale NUS saying that decisions will be released in the coming days?
