Editor's notes
- Test-optional for admission doesn't mean test-optional for money. Rust's two biggest scholarships, the E.A. Smith Presidential (up to $21,254 a year, covering tuition, fees, housing, meals and books) and the Founders, need a 22 and a 20 on the ACT. If you're near those marks, take the ACT and send the score.
- There's no essay, so your file is your transcript and your paperwork. Admission is rolling, so there's no reason to wait: get the transcript, the fee and the physician's medical form in well before the July 15 priority date, and file the FAFSA early (the posted priority date is April 1).
