this. It's Sunday night. Seo is on his
0:11
laptop sipping coffee when suddenly it
0:14
hits him. Wait. NWU applications close
0:18
soon. Cue the panic. He dives onto
0:21
Google like an Olympic swimmer,
0:23
searching NWU application. Quick, quick.
0:26
Click, scroll, freeze, panic. He even
0:29
considered becoming a DJ instead. Sound
0:33
familiar? Relax. If SEO can figure this
0:36
out, so can you. Today, I'm going to
0:40
show you 10 simple steps to apply to NWU
0:43
online stress-free, dramafree, and
0:47
before the deadline eats you alive. And
0:49
trust me, if you skip step eight, you
0:52
might crash your own application. Don't
0:55
be that person. Ready? Let's go.
0:59
Step one, know the right application
1:02
dates. What's worse than missing your
1:04
dream school's deadline? Nothing.
1:07
Absolutely nothing. NWU applications
1:10
usually open in April and close by the
1:13
end of August for most programs. Some
1:16
faculties have earlier deadlines, so
1:18
always check the official NWU site for
1:21
updates. Best time to apply early. Don't
1:25
wait until the last minute when the site
1:27
is flooded and your stress levels are
1:32
Step two, check if you qualify for your
1:35
course. So, you want to study law, but
1:39
your APS is looking like a WhatsApp
1:42
number. Let's be real. NWU has specific
1:46
admission requirements for each course.
1:48
APS scores, compulsory subjects, and
1:51
sometimes extra assessments. You'll find
1:54
all this in NWU's undergraduate
1:57
perspectus or on the official admission
2:00
requirements page. Don't guess, don't
2:03
assume, go check. Just use the link in
2:07
the description below. I've added a
2:10
direct link to NWU's admission
2:12
requirements and an APS calculator to
2:16
help you work out your score.
2:21
Step three, prepare all required
2:24
documents before you even click apply.
2:28
Get your documents ready. No one wants
2:31
to pause halfway to hunt for a grade 11
2:34
report and grandma's covered. Here's
2:36
what you need. Your South African ID or
2:40
passport for international applicants.
2:42
Grade 11 results and your latest grade
2:45
12 marks. Matrix certificate if you
2:48
finished. proof of payment for your
2:50
application fee, portfolio if you're
2:53
applying for certain programs like art
2:55
