I got an email today that I’ve been shortlisted for an interview!
I have to decide whether to travel to Singapore/ choose the Skype option. Is it always better to go there/ do you get some sort of an advantage?
Also, can you give me some tips?
Who else got the invite?
Don’t bother travelling to Singapore for a 30 minute interview. I had mine on Skype and got accepted in Round 1.
Their interviews are much more direct that most US college interviews.
@advk18 : did u submit the yale NUS specific writing supplement yet?
I got the “shortlist interview” notification a little less than a week after I submitted my application with the Yale-NUS supplement (December 28)–I was surprised that the turnaround was so quick! Super excited (albeit nervous) for the interview! Like the OP asked, any tips on the interview and what it will entail? Congratulations on your shortlist @advk18 and good luck throughout the process fellow Yale-NUSer(s)!
No I did not! I will in a couple of days! What about you?
@RunningForLife
@bsb4389 Wow same! Hope it goes well! Good luck to you too 
@Regenerated Yes! I already signed up for a skype interview! CONGRATULATIONS!
What sort of questions do they ask?
ALSO! I am sharing my Yale App with Yale-NUS…And in the Why Yale essay I wrote specifically about yale! Will that be a downside?
I got shortlisted as well- they’re quick! Time to start writing that supplement…
The questions they ask aren’t really that… out there. Just think about what’s important to you and bear that in mind throughout the interview.
I was shortlisted (wasn’t expecting it because I applied by checking the box on the Yale CommonApp).
Is there any way to send art/music supplements to Yale-NUS if you applied like I did?
^Found my answer, never mind! Good luck on your interviews.
@Regenerated Has the interviewer read our application?
are interview requests still going out? does not getting one reflect on your chances at ivies/top schools?
My interviewer wasn’t the person who had read my application, but I’m not sure if that applies to everyone.
@Regenerated Okay thank you! 
So, do you plan to enrol at Yale-NUS or…? Also, which country are you from?
Does not getting an interview reflect your chances of getting into Yale? (because only the Yale-worthy applicants are shortlisted?)
does anyone know how long they will be contacting people for interviews? the round two deadline hasn’t passed yet, so I’m guessing there will still be more interviews being offered in the following weeks … am I right? I submitted my application in December though…
I contacted admissions yesterday, they told me that the notifications for interviews were staggered, and to “not worry if you haven’t heard anything yet.” ALSO be sure to send SAT scores directly to Yale-NUS if you applied through Yale, because they won’t get them otherwise.
@Regenerated and anyone who’s got in, I sent my SAT scores but I don’t know if they have received them or not? Cannot see any confirmation on my Application status page?
