Editor's notes

• At HPU the class gets built early. Fifty-six percent of the Class of 2029 applied Early Decision, and HPU says fewer than 10% of a class comes through Regular Decision, with offers only if space is available. If HPU is your first choice, apply ED by Nov. 1; if it's one of several, use Early Action by Nov. 15.
• Your essay is the first thing read. HPU says so on its deadlines page. With no supplement and test scores optional, the personal statement and your one recommendation are where HPU meets you beyond your transcript, so write about something only you could write.
