If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Beal, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Since Beal does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, confirm its Regular Decision deadline and make your last fall retake the latest test date whose scores will arrive by then.

What you'll actually pay
Beal is a private for-profit college, so costs may vary by program and enrollment plan. Submit the FAFSA by the May 1 priority deadline to be considered for available financial aid, and compare grants, loans, and payment options as you plan.

At Beal University, the total cost of attendance includes tuition and fees plus room and board, with actual costs varying by program, enrollment level, housing choices, and personal expenses. As a private for-profit institution, Beal’s net price can depend heavily on a student’s financial aid eligibility, so applicants should review their aid offer carefully and compare billed charges with indirect costs before estimating what they will pay.
