A few questions about wesleysan's admissions standards

1) My magnet school has extremely high standards for acceptance into AP courses, so it’s difficult to gain any. Due to a bad freshman year, a lot of things got shut out to me and now I’m afraid that my “course rigor” is lacking. I raised myself dramatically (like, 10 points on my average dramatically) since then. Would this upward trend help with the lack of AP courses?

2) Does Wesleyan really care about SAT scores? I have extremely strong SAT’s, and I’ve got recommendations from my english teacher/biology teacher.

3) Is interest level actually important? I’ve visited once and stayed over night (loved it), have done an on-campus interview, and plan on sitting in on courses when fall comes around. If it actually matters, how should I let the admissions office know that I’m sitting in on classes? Is there any place I need to go before I sit in on classes?
Thanks in advance for the help.
