Editor's notes
- Feb. 1 matters more than the admission deadline here. It's the last day Hope accepts new GPA or test scores for merit aid, and the score-based tiers start at $8,000 a year.
- Scores can only help your scholarship, so send them if they move you up a tier. Hope superscores, and a 3.4 GPA with a 24 ACT earns the same award as a 3.6 GPA alone.
