Editor's notes
- The essay is optional, but McDaniel lists it as a review factor and says scholarships consider writing. Send one unless you truly have nothing to add.
- Visit before you submit. The Visit Incentive Grant adds $1,000 a year only if you visit before completing your application, and EA II on Dec. 15 is the last date for honors and Presidential Scholarship consideration.
