How to Apply as an International Student

The application procedures and timetable are essentially the same for international students as those for candidates applying from schools in the United States.

Standardized Testing

Application requirements include the following standardized tests. You may choose between taking either:

• The SAT I and two SAT II Subject Tests (any two Subject Tests are acceptable)

OR

• The ACT

There are two exceptions:

1. Students whose home countries (e.g., mainland China) do not have a testing center are, of course, exempt from these testing requirements.

2. Students enrolled in A-level programs may use COMPLETED A-level results as a substitute for the SAT II Subject Tests on a one-for-one basis provided official test results arrive at Yale by February of 2008. Predicted A-level results may not be used as substitutions. If you do not have completed A-level results by the time you apply to Yale, you are required to take two SAT II Subject tests and provide us with your predicted A-level results.

No other substitutions are acceptable.
