College entrance tests
For entering freshmen, Virginia Wesleyan requires either the SAT 1 or ACT scores. Although we do not require more than one SAT or ACT score, we do take the highest individual Verbal and Math scores from all of the tests taken. When considering your options, be sure to have your test scores forwarded to Virginia Wesleyan. Our CEEB code is 5867.
