Is SAT not required for William and Mary?

Hello there, anyone applying or has applied to William and Mary, can you confirm what is the current SAT policy? Even though it's not mandatory, do they consider the submitted SAT scores when reviewing the application?

Absolutely, you're right on this. William & Mary has adopted a test-optional policy as of the 2024-2025 application cycle. That means you're not required to submit your SAT scores as part of your application. However, you're welcome to submit them if you believe they enhance your application and provide a more comprehensive representation of your academic abilities.

If you do choose to submit your SAT scores, rest assured they will be considered during the review process alongside other components of your application. However, if you decide not to or cannot submit standardized test scores, your application will not be disadvantaged in any way. The admissions committee takes a holistic review process, meaning they look at many factors like your high school grades, rigor of coursework, essays, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters to evaluate you as a whole rather than just focusing on one particular aspect.

Lastly, remember that the choice of whether or not to submit SAT scores is entirely up to you. Just select the option that you think will most work to your advantage and best demonstrate your abilities. Best of luck with your application!
