Recommendation by Overseas High Schools – Undergraduate Admissions

Students who wish to apply to NTU through Recommendation by Overseas High Schools should first look for a recommender. Your recommender may be your high school teacher, the school counselor or the headmaster/headmistress. We advise that you find someone that is familiar with you and your achievements, as they will be able to better portray your strengths and provide a stronger recommendation.

Each school will need an account in order to recommend their students. For schools that do not have an account, a high school representative will have to register one. The school will have to be verified before the high school representative can log in to the system.

1. Click register
2. Fill out school information
