COVID-19-related Announcement

We recognize that the global pandemic  affected lives in many ways, including the postponement or elimination of certain exams (in some cases, GCE-A-levels, AP, and IB Higher Level).

For example, previously scheduled IB Higher Levels were cancelled or the exam wasn’t offered at all in 2022, but students may still have received a final score later that summer.

Some disruption may still be experienced in 2023. If that is the case with you, please enter the most recent scores you have as soon as you receive them, provided you receive them by the July 28, 2023, close date for the High School Math & Science Survey.


Special Instructions for First-year Students Abroad for Filling Out the High School Math & Science Survey

These instructions are for students taking GCE A-levels or other standardized exams that are not the United States’ AP tests or the IB Higher Level exams.  They are intended to help you answer Yale’s High School Math and Science Survey for incoming first-year students.

As You Register for Fall-semester Courses

Please note that students from non-U.S. high schools often find it advisable to consult a departmental director of undergraduate studies (DUS) about proper placement. Once you arrive on campus for the fall term, please consider consulting the DUS of Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, or Economics, if you plan to take courses in those fields.  

Contact information for each DUS is printed by major in Yale College Programs of Study (the YCPS, or “Blue Book”), and a separate list of DUSes is available on the Yale College Website.
