Editor's notes
- Hit Nov. 25. Bethany calls it Premier Decision and ties it to the most aid and a package by Dec. 15. The application is free, so the only cost of going early is getting your transcript and FAFSA together sooner.
- Send a test score if you have a decent one. Bethany says applicants without a test face a much higher standard, and every academic scholarship tier is keyed to ACT/SAT. Look at the Luther line: a 23 ACT with a 3.2 is worth $12,000 a year.
