Editor's notes

  • Send the optional pieces anyway. Arcadia's CDS rates recommendations very important and the essay important, and it uses your activities list for merit scholarships.
  • Apply by Jan. 15. That's the cutoff for automatic distinguished scholarship and accelerated-program review, even though general admission stays open.
