Editor's notes
- This is a transcript decision. You need an unweighted 2.0, no essay, no letters, and tests are optional. Your job is to get an official transcript sent from your school, because GovState won't count one you upload yourself.
- Apply by Nov. 15 if you can. That's the priority date, early applicants hear by Dec. 1, and scholarship applications for fall open in the spring, so an early admit gives you time to find them.
