Applicants unable to submit test scores due to COVID-19, may apply for conditional admission with a test waiver. Students choosing this option must have taken (or be on track to complete) four years of upper-level mathematics while in high school. Students admitted with conditional status will be enrolled in BIOL 206 and MATH 171 during the first semester at Longwood and must earn a “C” grade or better to continue in the nursing program.
3. Upload your documents
48 hours after successful submission of your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to upload an unofficial copy of your high school transcript. You’ll also receive a checklist of your next steps toward becoming a Lancer!
*Test scores -- SAT/ACT test scores are not required, but optional. If you choose not to submit standardized test scores, you will not be penalized and your application for admission will be holistically reviewed for consideration for admission, the Cormier Honors College, and merit-based aid. If you choose to submit standardized test scores, you will have the opportunity to elect “test-optional” and self-report your unofficial scores on your application. Confirmation of official scores will be required prior to enrolling.
