Editor's notes
- If you're from North Carolina, check the Rooted in Excellence terms before you rule Guilford out on cost. A 3.25 weighted GPA and family income of $75,000 or less can mean free tuition.
- Guilford ranks your academic record and curriculum first. Put your effort into senior-year grades and the essay, since scores are optional.
