What's specific to students from Nigeria
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
Write like you're talking to someone
Exam essays train formal connectors (“Furthermore”, “In conclusion”), a moral at the end and long thanks to parents and teachers. A US reader wants you, in plain words, inside a real moment. Keep the gratitude to one sentence, and only if it serves the story.
