How We Select Students

The College will employ a holistic approach to the evaluation of applicants. Academic achievement as reflected in test scores and grades will be a primary consideration, but interviews, recommendations, essays and extracurricular accomplishments will also be given significant weight in the process.

The College seeks a diverse student body that will bring various perspectives and backgrounds to its campus. Thus, the College's admissions office operates in ways consistent with Yale's and NUS' policies on non-discrimination.

The College will also conduct a fair and robust selection process. Every application will be reviewed and the strongest will be given a detailed assessment by multiple readers. An admissions committee composed of senior admissions staff, faculty, deans, and other members of the College leadership team will render the final decision based on this holistic approach.
