Editor's notes

• Your merit award arrives with your admission letter and depends on your GPA and course rigor, not scores. Strong senior-year classes help both decisions at once.
• Apply ED by Nov. 15 only if K is clearly first. You're released only if the aid package falls short, and the deposit is due Jan. 15.
