Editor's notes
- Get everything in early. Hampton reads files on a rolling basis only once they're complete, so a missing transcript or letter holds you up even if you applied by Nov. 15.
- Think twice before skipping tests. Test-optional is only for students with a 3.6 unweighted GPA, and choosing it takes you out of merit scholarship consideration. If you want merit aid, send a score.
