Editor's notes
- Hit Dec. 1 even though the round isn't binding. It's the only way to get an admission and Presidential Scholarship answer during the fall, and it's required for the National Alumni Scholarship. Waiting until March costs you scholarship access, not admission.
- With no required essay, test or letter, your transcript is close to your whole file. If a counselor asks for an essay or an interview, treat it as a real chance to fill a gap, not a formality.
