Editor's notes

• Mount Marty's merit money is tied to GPA and comes with admission, so your transcript is the application. Apply early in senior year with junior grades and you'll know your number before the spring rush.
• The essay is optional but the school says it's recommended. If you plan to go after the application-based awards (Mission Scholars, Seton, Avera Nursing Advantage), write it. Those programs reward a clear sense of why you want this place.
