Those are all good questions. I’ll try and answer them in order of difficulty. 3) To sit in on a class, I think all you have to do is check in at Reid House (the admissions dept) where, I believe, they can direct you to what classes are meeting at that hour.

2) Does Wesleyan care about SATs? Well, yeas and no. Rumor has it that ED is one of the avenues they use to admit a lot of high scorers on the SAT, and if some of the replies to this year’s thread on EDI results are any indication, there’s certainly some truth to that. However, that leaves a lot of room (not to mention the rest of the RD pool) with which to make all sorts of evaluations. I still take the website at its word, that rigor of course load and gpa are the primary drivers.

1) If your magnet school has extremely hgih standards, chances are the adcom knows about it and will take it into consideration. Everything else is water under the bridge, as they say.

Hope this helps.
