Editor's notes
- Apply Early Action by Nov. 1. Butler strongly encourages it, it's nonbinding, and it gets you full scholarship consideration and priority for the Honors Program.
- Testing is optional, but the CDS rates scores very important when you send them. If your score sits at or above Butler's middle range (ACT 26-31, SAT 1170-1340 for submitters), send it; if not, let your GPA and essay carry the file.
