Freshman International Student Admissions
Freshman admission for international students is evaluated on an individual basis. Admission is offered to those students who possess academic qualifications equivalent to those required for domestic first-time freshmen. Consideration is given to the courses taken and grades received in secondary school, as well as to results of school leaving examinations and certificates. The integrity of the student’s native educational system is respected in regard to the university entrance requirements in the native country; students not eligible for university admission in their native country will not likely be granted admission to Northwest.
For comparison purposes, admission requirements for domestic first-time freshman must include the following:
- A minimum high school grade point average of 2.00 or “C” average and;
- A college-preparatory curriculum in secondary school, including courses in mathematics, science, language and social studies.
