Important Notes on Applying to Yale-NUS

Sharing your application with Yale-NUS will not affect your admissions decision at Yale in any way. Each institution has a separate admissions officeand will make a completely independent review of your application. Each will provide you with a separate admissions decision, and if you are admitted to both institutions, you will have the freedom to choose either one.

No additional application fee will be necessary for consideration by Yale-NUS if your application is shared through the use of the checkbox.

Students applying to Yale Single-Choice Early Action may also apply to Yale-NUS at the same time, as the new college is outside of the United States.

For additional information on the application sharing process, please go to admissions.yale.edu/yale-nus or e-mail the Yale-NUS admissions office at [email protected].
