Editor's notes

• Apply early action by Nov. 1. It's nonbinding, and Creighton's Dec. 1 scholarship priority date and its honors and leadership programs both reward applying early.
• Testing is optional, but scores can still pay. A score sent after admission can raise your merit award if it arrives by Feb. 1, and the Scott Scholarship sets a 28 ACT or 1300 SAT minimum.
