Applications + Already Accepted??

Hello friends! I'm finally back and I'm gonna actually get into real life college business.
So, I've actually already applied for my dream college (which is Northern Arizona University). They emailed me a few weeks ago telling me I'd been selected to apply early (but I think anyone can apply right now... it's not like the application is closed or secret or anything). So, I looked through it and honestly it was pretty simple. I didn't have to write any essays or anything. What took the most time was honestly just adding in all the classes that I've taken and the ones I plan to take my senior year. You do have to send an official transcript, but they will tell you when to do that. Also, there was a part to add SAT and/or ACT scores. However, I haven't taken mine yet. I talked to an online admissions representative and they said to select that I didn't want to report scores and that I can just send them after I take my SAT. When I was signing up for the SAT I did select for the scores to automatically be sent to NAU.
So, I did the application and paid my $25 and they said a decision on if I was admitted or not would be there in ~2 days. I was honestly pretty shocked, because 2 days is way fast! Sure enough, 2 days later I signed in and saw this:

Oh my goodness! I made it into my dream college! Now, obviously, this is basically a conditional acceptance. They can always revoke it, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen unless I fail my senior year or something crazy like that. I'm so excited!
NAU is a pretty easy college to get accepted to, especially if you're an Arizona resident like me. Still though, to be accepted this early is pretty cool!
Now that I'm accepted, I will have to fill out the FAFSA (in October) and find some scholarships I qualify for and stuff. I will obviously keep you all updated if anything changes and as I apply for scholarships and things. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be sure to answer them to the best of my ability.
