Editor's notes

  • Take the test. NSU brought back its SAT/ACT requirement for fall 2026 applicants and also accepts the CLT. You can self-report and NSU superscores, so a second sitting this fall can only help.
  • If you want a Premier Program, plan around Feb. 1. Dual Admission and the other Premier Programs start with regular admission, then a supplemental application and Shark Preview, where some programs interview. Applying by Nov. 1 leaves you time for that second step.
