Editor's notes

• Apply early action by Nov. 1. It isn't binding, it's the priority date for merit scholarships, and you'll know by Jan. 30. Then get every document in by Nov. 15, because the application date and the documents date are different deadlines.
• Your transcript is the application. N.C. A&T reads no essays and no recommendations, so the things you control now are your senior-year grades, a transcript that lists your senior schedule, and a complete activities section.
• Know which side of 2.8 you're on. At a weighted 2.8 or above, scores are optional; below that, you need at least an ACT 17 or SAT 930. If you're aiming for the National Alumni Scholarship, start on your two letters early and confirm its deadline with the financial aid office, since its two pages give different dates.
