What's specific to students from Ghana
Your school system
Northeastern highly recommends sending your West African Senior School Certificate Exam (WASSCE) results with your application, or predicted grades from your school if final results arrive after decisions. Every enrolling student sends final results; if they fall outside an acceptable range of your predictions, Northeastern can rescind the offer.

For every international applicant
English test
Northeastern waives the English test if, right before enrolling, you'll have completed four consecutive full-time years at schools where native English was the language of instruction for all courses except foreign languages. Ask for the waiver in your Application Status Check.

Your essays
Your story, told your way
Formal school English (“Moreover”, “In conclusion”) and a closing moral earn marks in an exam essay and lose the reader of a personal statement. Start in a scene, let your own words carry it, and cut the thank-yous that don't serve the story.
