Lawal Balogun did exactly what I just told you. Here's what happened.
Most Nigerians send one application. One "no," and they stop — forever. That's the real mistake. Not their grades. Not their school. Lawal didn't make that mistake. He sent ten, using the same working template each time, changing only the school's name.
Three schools said no. That would stop most people cold. It didn't stop him — because he wasn't starting from zero every time. He already had something that worked, so trying again cost him ten minutes, not another sleepless night rewriting an essay.
That's his real comment — not made up. And here's the actual lesson: this guide isn't there to write your story for you. It hands you the 14 templates Lawal actually used, so you can send them again, and again, until one of them says yes.
