Editor's notes

  • If you're in the top half of your class, you're guaranteed admission without scores. If you're lower or unranked, a 1080 SAT or 21 ACT (1040 or 20 if unranked) gives you a second route, so testing can be worth it.
  • Ask about a fee waiver before you pay. Pell-eligible FAFSA filers, free or reduced lunch students and anyone who applies on site at an admissions event can skip the $25 fee.
