Editor's notes
- Millsaps keeps it simple: free application, no required essay, no required tests, no required letters. That puts nearly all the weight on your transcript, and the school says so: grades, course rigor and activities come first. If you send an essay, send it only if it adds something your transcript can't.
- Apply early action by Nov. 15. It's nonbinding, decisions start rolling out in August, and the merit calculator means you'll know your scholarship range early enough to compare offers.
- If your scores would raise your scholarship, send them. Merit runs on GPA plus superscored ACT or SAT, and Millsaps will re-review your award for scores through the February ACT or March SAT.
