Well I also indicated to get financial aid, but I am pretty sure that everyone did that. So they still have to decide who will get funding or not. @Rudolph I guess, the reason why they asked you to submit the documents so early is just, that they need to see who is really accepting the offer to study or not. It seems, that the most of the people here applied in many universities and since LKY wants to fill their batch properly, they need to see who will come for sure. And I also think, this is the reason why they proceed with the interviews and admission until May.

Hi all! I think it is time to found a group with emails and so on so that we can also meet in the real life one day. To clarify for everyone: I applied by Dec 19, received the interview invitation on Feb 19, hat the interview in Feb 24 and got the admission yesterday March 25 around 10pm. The email just said, that I got the admission, congratulation and that I will receive an official letter later. But this time, the waiting time is acceptable for me. I am also very curious for funding or financial aid since I would also feel more comfortable with that and also Singapore requires some expenses (attention: irony). I really hope, the rest of our community here will get admission and nobody is left behind. Congrats to Giomar, Cags and Maawarinu! El Salvador sounds very interesting, but I am also not from Asia but from Germany, so we have really a nice diversity in the program.

@cs_mpp: I can understand that so much and even for me, I would require some funding to make the little dream possible. I guess, that is the reason why they sent you an early notification, so that you know "at least" that you are successful. But as you said, it is more or less useless unless you do not know if you are getting funding or not. But hey, maybe they are just super busy and admission is difficult this year.

I also agree! I don't understand why they provide different information via email and even for you who received admission offer already, it is not yet clear if you receive funding and so on. And I also don't understand why they sent you the notification and then an official admission again? Why not at the same time? Well, let's see...

I can't imagine that they are admitted already 60-80 persons and let the others wait until they may accept or not. For this procedure, it would be necessary for the people to know if and how much funding they will receive. And since this has not been published yet, I think, they just admit a few people every week and wait for their response.

I think the information from them seem to be confusing. In my opinion they are just still reviewing the applications and both, interview and admission phase are still ongoing. Maybe they have days to decide who will be interviewed and then days with the admission decision. But on the other side, I can't imagine that they could afford to take to much time for both decisions since people have applied on many universities and they also have to decide where to go. Furthermore they need to inform successful people about their funding. But this requires, that they are almost done with the admission. Anyway, there is a lot of speculation and assuming. I hope, we all get clear information soon.

They told me during the interview, that the diagnostic tests are supposed to test the skill level of the people. And in case someone is not good in English or math, he or she has to come earlier for some refreshing course. I am not sure, if this is a sign that someone is rejected in case he is not receiving that. But since nobody has received it yet, I really guess, they haven't decided yet also.
