Yale-NUS College believes knowledge is just one factor in assessing fit for our unique educational experience. When we reviewed applications, we maintained the view that students are multifaceted individuals and considered factors such as their academic performance, interests, curiosity, aptitude, and enthusiasm. This holistic admission process ensured that we understood the depth of our students’ experiences as well as the breadth of their interests.
Over the years, we had the amazing opportunity to meet countless students who are engaging, insightful, curious, and more. Not only did we enrol dynamic cohorts each year, the Admissions & Financial Aid team paid particular attention to facilitating students’ growth and development while they undergo their studies at the College. This is done through our robust ‘Student Associates and Admissions Fellows’ programmes. The Office of Admissions & Financial Aid also provided countless professional development opportunities for high school counsellors in Singapore and around the world; sharing our expertise in holistic admissions and boasting about our lively community at at Yale-NUS!
