    • Virginia Wesleyan implemented a policy that permits students who have earned a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher the option to apply for admission without submitting standardized test scores. Admission for these students is based solely on academic record, but only students who meet the minimum GPA requirement of 3.5 will be considered under this policy.
