@Laclos, the guaranteed admission agreements with the Virginia community colleges do not apply to high school students. They apply only to traditional transfer students who graduate from high school and then complete their AA over the course of the next few years (you’ll note one of the requirements for falling under the guaranteed admission agreement is that you complete 45 of the credits towards your AA after graduating from high school). So your daughter is not eligible to submit a letter nor is she eligible to apply to W&M under the guaranteed admission agreement.

Certainly her dual enrollment and AP coursework throughout high school will show evidence of her rigorous academic curriculum which is good but even if she does receive her AA by the time she graduates, she will still apply to W&M as a freshman applicant.

As for the question regarding AP exams, when a student enrolls at W&M, whether as a freshman or a transfer, they must submit any AP exam scores to us. The fact that they were taken for credit at another institution does not mean they will be accepted at W&M so she cannot get credit for AP exams by way of PVCC.
