If I take three subject tests and do somewhat well in them and decide to send them in with my application, will that help or hurt my application? I don't see how it could have negative consequences for me as it is only required for students that are home-schooled.

Lauren - whatever questions you have, whenever you have them, feel free to post them here or send them to us at admission@wm.edu

Emma - obviously lower SAT scores decrease the odds of admission, and higher SAT scores increase the odds, but neither will ever be the reason for a decision by itself. Standardized test scores are important, but there are many important factors in making an admission decision.

Frankie - a score of 5 on an AP foreign language exam will earn you three or 4 credits.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of response to some of your questions. WM Admission is a little short-staffed this summer. We're in the process of hiring 4 new members of the admission committee, and 2 of our current members are brand new mommies. So, it's been a bit hectic in our office this summer.

On the admission website it states that credit can be granted for AP foriegn language test, but it doesn't designate a credit amount. I scored a 5 on the Spanish Language test, will that only grant me extemption from entry courses?

I have a question about SAT scores and admissions... if I got high scores on the reading and writing sections but a lower score (630) on the math section, will that make it more difficult for me to get in?
