    “Offers 到” have arrived for the YCYW Class of 2026, Although the cycle has just begun, the first wave of success with university applications tells an inspiring story. Our students have received 92 acceptances from seven countries and regions, in more than 15 academic disciplines. For the early decisions in the US, students received acceptances from Stanford University, New York University, Boston University, Northeastern University,the Rhode Island School of Design, and Parsons School of Design.

     

    Famous universities worldwide, such as the University of Melbourne, the University of Waterloo, The University of Hong Kong, the University of York, the University of Manchester, King’s College London, and the University of Auckland have offered our students admission.

     

    In addition, 15 students received interview invitations from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.

     

    YCYW students celebrating university offers

     

    Our students have received offers in a wide range of disciplines, showcasing remarkable diversity. STEM fields lead with majors such as Biochemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Nanotechnology. Business programmes such as Business Analytics and International Business are well represented, as are majors in the Social Sciences, including International Relations and Psychology. Majors in the Arts and Humanities include offers in English Literature, Design, and Childhood Studies.

     

    Competitive majors such as Economics, Law, Engineering, and Computer Science stand out, reflecting the academic strengths and ambitions of the cohort.

     

    In addition, our students received various scholarships totaling more than USD 60,000, CAD 78,000, and GBP 15,000. These awards recognised our students’ diligence, talents, and potential.

     

    YCYW students recognized for academic excellence

     

    The Oxbridge application results are impressive: 13 students applied to the University of Oxford and 12 to the University of Cambridge, and an extraordinary 60 percent—seven candidates for Oxford and eight candidates for Cambridge —were invited to interviews, surpassing the typical 40 percent rate of other competitive schools. One Veterinary Medicine applicant also earned an interview at the Royal Veterinary College.

     

    Equally striking is the diversity of interests. YCYW students are pursuing a range of fields, including Nanotechnology Engineering, Chemical Engineering Systems, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Veterinary Medicine, and Fine Arts. This is proof that our community nurtures creators, critics, problem-solvers, and humanitarians alike.

     

    Diverse student interests at YCYW

     

    These outcomes reflect not only academic excellence but also the rigorous preparation provided by the Career and University Guidance Office (CUGO). During the autumn, the Elite Application Team conducted more than 15 discipline-specific mock interviews, inviting subject teachers, alumni, and community mentors with firsthand Oxbridge experience to recreate authentic, high-intensity discussions in fields ranging from Materials Science and Land Economy to Architecture and Law.

     

    CUGO guidance and mock interviews

     

    Underpinning these achievements is a powerful network: The CUGO provides strategic planning and feedback on application materials; faculty members give lunchtime tutorials and stay up late to write recommendation letters; alumni call from multiple time zones to participate in portfolio reviews or coding challenges; and parents as well as friends of YCYW offer scholarship information, internship leads, and unwavering encouragement.

    Regular admission results from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and beyond will continue to be released in March and April 2026, while Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong SAR universities will issue offers well into the spring. Future “Offers 到” updates will chronicle the next chapters.

     

    We thank every student who pressed “submit,” every teacher who stayed late for one more mock interview, and all the alumni who shared their expertise. We pause to celebrate how far we have already come, confident that even more good news lies ahead.
