Editor's notes

• Apply Early Action by Nov. 15 if you want the Honors Program. Marquette tells honors-minded students to apply early, and you'll hear in late December.
• Give the activities list real attention. It's required, and the CDS rates extracurriculars and volunteer work important, the same weight as the essay.
