Editor's notes

  • Take the ACT even though you don't need it to get in. Louisiana Tech admits without scores, but every dollar of its automatic merit money is tied to an ACT or SAT score, it superscores, and its CDS rates test scores Very important. A couple of points can move you up a scholarship tier.
  • Treat Jan. 15 as your real deadline. There's no closing date for admission, but the scholarship priority date is Jan. 15 of senior year (the CDS lists Jan. 1), so apply in the fall and send scores early.
