If you choose to submit scores to UNMC, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if a higher superscore would help. UNMC does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, and the March 15 financial aid priority deadline is not a test-score deadline, so have any fall retake scores ready by the application deadline for your program.
