Yale-NUS Round 2 Interviews

<p>Hey guys - got an email today for a Skype interview for round 2 of admissions at Yale-NUS. There is a thread for Round 1, but I thought I would start this one. Anyone got any tips? I'm an international student from Canada.</p>

<p>hi nikcarverhill!
Great idea.
I had my interview recently, and I love Yale NUS even more now. The interview was pretty casual, and very general. We spoke about me for a bit, my activities, co curriculars, and then we spoke about YNC a bit.
Good luck for your interview, if you haven’t had it already!</p>

<p>I saw on the round 1 thread to show genuine interest? I applied round 2 also and haven’t go an interview invite, should i be worried yet?</p>

<p>Hey Naildat8. I don’t think you should be worried yet. As far as I understand, their interviews have just started.
From what I read of the round 1 thread, people were getting interview calls even in December. </p>

<p>Showing genuine interest is always a good idea. </p>

<p>PS: When did you submit your application?</p>

<p><em>sigh of relief</em>. I submitted mine on Jan 14, yeahp cutting it a bit too close.</p>

<p>Hey guys - thanks for the heads up about the interview. I am pretty excited. I wouldn’t get worried yet… they are still sending out invites and there is also the 3rd round.</p>

<p>@nikcarverhill: when is your interview?</p>

<p>@nice19 - scheduled for valentine’s day at 9 am singapore time. you are a round 2 applicant as well, correct?</p>

<p>I just got emailed that i’m missing something from my application :)) good luck nikcarverhill!</p>

<p>Oh and about.com has a couple of common interview questions. It might be worth going over.</p>

<p>@nikcarverhill: so its tomorrow! cool :slight_smile: good luck!
yea I’m a round 2 applicant as well. :smiley: </p>

<p>have you also applied to yale?</p>

<p>@Naildat8: awesome! tell us when you get your interview call ;)</p>

<p>I submitted my Yale NUS app on the yale’s deadline.
When should i expect my interviews?</p>

<p>@rew2402: i’m not sure as to the date till when yale-nus is interviewing. but have you been checking your application status account? have all your documents reached them?</p>

<p>I never got any confirmation for the Yale NUS account! O.o
I applied to Yale, and there was an option for whether I wanted to be considered for the Yale NUS And I just ticked it. But I never got that account thingy for Yale NUS, but got for Yale College! O.o
What do I do?</p>

<p>that’s strange. let me search my email for the exact subject of the mail i got from them confirming that they had received my application. </p>

<p>also, have you checked your spam? today, i found an email from harvard in my spam folder :P</p>

<p>ok so the subject of the email I received from them said “Regarding Your Application to Yale-NUS College”. But I applied just to yale-nus, not yale. I used the application specific to yale-nus. I’m not sure if that makes any difference at all, but i thought it might be worth mentioning.</p>

<p>edit: fail. gah. ill just email them</p>

<p>i applied to yale, and checked the box… i only remember getting promotional emails from yale nus, until the interview invite</p>

<p>@nikcarverhill: how was your interview? who was it with?</p>
