For thoseapplying ONLY for YSS New Haven:

Please fill out First Choice only, listing a total of four courses (your top two New Haven course selections, followed by two backup options). Please write only one essay, up to 300 words. Leave Second Choice, sections 2a and 2b, blank.

For thoseapplying ONLY for YSS Abroad:

Those applying ONLY for YSS Abroad may list up to two programchoices, one under First Choice and a backup under Second Choice. Please write a short essay for both choices (sections 1b and 2b), up to 300 words each.

Important: Please understand that Yale students have priority for YSS Abroad courses and that some courses will fill up. In the past, it has been particularly difficult to get spots in the language programs, as well as some other popular programs abroad. Students interested in YSS Abroad will need to be flexible and prepared for the possibility that their top choices are not available. If a student is selected for YSS and their top choices are both full, Yale-NUS CIPE can discuss other options with the student (e.g. other YSS Abroad courses which still have openings or YSS New Haven).

For thoseapplying for both YSS New Haven and YSS Abroad:
