State, Millsaps all use the Common App.

There are hundreds more, including Auburn, Alabama, Spring Hill, South Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Arkansas, and College of Charleston.

ACT

SENDING TEST SCORES & TRANSCRIPTS
Students may request a paper transcript from Mrs. Howard, the registrar, in the guidance office.    She has a request form at her desk. We cannot accept requests for transcripts by phone or email. Each transcript is $1 and will be mailed to the college or university you indicate. We do not send test scores (ACT). For the score to be official, it must be sent from ACT
directly to the college or university. ACT has endorsed superscoring, which allows a student to use his or her best score from each of the four (4) sub-sections to create a "superscore" composite score. It's up to each college or university to determine if they'll accept a superscore. TOPS does not currently allow for a superscore to be used.

FAFSA

Completing the FAFSA or signing a waiver indicating that you will not complete a
FAFSA is a graduation requirement for the class of 2023. The FAFSA for the class of
