Editor's notes

  • Apply after your strongest junior-year grades are on your transcript. PennWest sets your merit award from the GPA it has at admission, and the award won't rise later.
  • If you want nursing, apply by Dec. 15. The BSN program can fill before then, while most other majors have no deadline.
