Editor's notes

• Know your scholarship deadlines before your admission deadline. The Presidential Scholarship is due Nov. 1 and the Scholar Programs Dec. 1, even if you apply Regular Decision in February. Applying Early Action by Dec. 1 lines everything up.
• Since letters are optional and the main application has no supplement, your transcript and personal essay do the heavy lifting. Ithaca says it's 'most focused on the rigor of your curriculum,' so senior-year courses matter, and it asks for your first-marking-period grades as soon as they're out.
