Editor's notes

  • At OBU your test score can be worth real money even though admission doesn't hinge on it. Academic awards go by GPA or score, so a 25 ACT reaches the $20,000 Founder's level even if your GPA is under 3.75. If you're close to a cutoff, one more test date may pay for itself.
  • Circle Jan. 1. Admission is rolling, but full-tuition scholarship applications are due that day, finalists hear Jan. 8 and the competition is Feb. 5. If you have a 29 ACT (or 1330 SAT, 89 CLT) and a 3.5 GPA, apply for admission in the fall so your scholarship file is ready.
