Editor's notes
- Early Decision here comes early: Oct. 15, with an enrollment commitment by Jan. 15. Only use it if Coastal is your clear first choice and you've run the cost numbers with your family. Early Action on Nov. 15 gets you an answer by Dec. 15 without the commitment.
- Check your GPA before skipping the SAT or ACT. Coastal is test-optional only at a 3.5 weighted GPA or higher, and it asks test-optional applicants to show a challenging curriculum and real leadership in activities, work or service. Below 3.5, scores are part of the deal.
