Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Wilmington College requires test scores, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes if needed. For the August 1 Regular Decision deadline, a December retake should still leave time for scores to arrive. If you are targeting the Anthony Munoz Scholarship Fund, build in enough retake time to reach at least an ACT 18 along with the GPA requirement.
