Many Nigerians delay planning because they believe it’s “too early.”

But this belief often comes from misunderstanding how international admissions work.

Application vs Preparation: The Difference

Applications open at different times depending on:

• Country

• Institution

• Course

But preparation always starts earlier.

Preparation includes:

• Academic evaluations

• Course matching

• Financial planning

• Personal statement readiness

You don’t apply early — you prepare early.

Why Early Preparation Improves Outcomes

Students who prepare ahead:

• Submit stronger applications

• Avoid last-minute errors

• Make informed decisions

Late preparation usually leads to rushed applications and limited choices.

The Nigerian Context

For Nigerian applicants, additional considerations include:

• Document verification timelines

• International payment planning

• Visa readiness

Ignoring these realities leads to unnecessary delays.

Final Thought

It’s not too early to plan — it’s risky to wait.
