Early Application Notes

These are some of the popular NUS programs that have opened early applications.

Except for Quantitative Finance, most other programs generally do not require language test scores during the early application phase, and the overall application materials are relatively simplified.

At the same time, it saves the long waiting time of regular applications, and results can be known by the end of August.

Although early applications can give you an advantage, NUS has clearly stated: Students with well-prepared materials, or consistently outstanding academic and practical achievements, are recommended to choose this application method.

Here, we also highly recommend that applicants who are well-prepared and have strong backgrounds consider applying, to avoid being shortlisted and then struggling to submit supplementary materials.

Meanwhile, it is advisable to confirm with the respective program's admissions office in advance whether early application will affect regular applications, to avoid any unintended consequences.

Students eager to apply early should still make a careful decision based on their actual circumstances.

The 2022 application season has officially begun, and we wish everyone the best in getting their desired offers!
