Editor's notes
- Decide early whether to send a score. BGSU won't consider it once you choose test optional, and several direct-admit bars (nursing, business, computer science) are easier to read with a score.
- Aiming for nursing direct admission? Apply well before Jan. 15. Without a score you need a 3.95 GPA, compared with 3.75 plus an ACT 23 if you test.
