Yale University Visits USA UnivQuest Hyderabad Office.

Associate Director, Undergraduate Admissions, Yale University, Mr Keith W. Light visited FIITJEE Hyderabad office in Saifabad on Friday, 13^th September 2013.He was accompanied by Mr Austin Shiner, Senior Admissions Counsellor, Admisions and Financial Aid, Yale NUS college, Singapore.

Addressing students from FIITJEE junior college, and the USA UnivQuest & FIITJEE management, Mr Keith emphasized on certain merit based scholarships and funding that Yale University has been offering to international students. Both merit based and need based funding for undergraduate students for the 2014 intake will be to the tune of $120 million, he stated.

He encouraged students to apply to Yale and other Ivy League category of Universities without worrying about the costs.

“Test scores of SAT and subject tests are not the only criteria for selection at Yale and Ivy League colleges” said Mr Light. It’s the student’s overall personality traits, extra-curricular activities, sports acumen that determines the quality of an applicant, hinting at the importance of personal essays and Letters of recommendations and certificates along with all applications.

Toppers from FIITJEE asked extremely relevant questions like the importance of early applications, to which Mr Light responded by saying that the earlier the better, however, if the applicant applies first, and sends scores a bit later, that will also be accepted. Applications within rolling deadlines will also be accepted. 

Mr Keith and Mr Shiner promised to return to USA UnivQuest Hyderabad and said they were highly impressed by the overall student quality at USA UnivQuest and looked forward to associating with the FIITJEE group in the near future.
