I’m taking the act in september and october if I have to but I’m worried about not making the dec 15 deadline for scholarships. If I apply early in nov how long will it take to be accepted? And if anyone knows if the minimum act score for in state students for the presidential is still 30-31
Apply now! Why wait! Take fall exams, including dec if necessary, and have Bama get one of the free reports.

You already qualified for presidential
But won’t students who apply after me with completed applications still be prioritized?
Not me. My friend made a post on my account. She didnt want to make one because she doesnt like that you cant delete posts.
No
And prioritized for what? Apply, retest, but select Bama as a recipient of one of your free scores, and you’ll get whatever you deserve.
And do not let someone use your CC acct. that’s a violation.
UA does not limit the number of scholarships it awards - if you meet the criteria, you receive the scholarship. Period. If they over-enroll scholarship students, that’s their problem.
I think some folks got wind of that UT-Tyler enrollment debacle and are now nervous about limits on applications.
