Editor's notes

• Apply through MyPennState by Nov. 1 if you can. That's early action, Berks says it's your best chance, and a campus visit plus a MyPennState application gets the $65 fee waived.
• Decide on testing carefully. You pick test-optional or scores-considered once and can't switch, and Penn State uses one sitting, not a superscore.
