<p>my name is tripp, and I was accepted to W&L EDII. I am from New Orleans and just took the SAT subject tests for the first time Jan. 28 becuase of katrina-caused delays; w&l understood and made an admissions decision without them. on the acceptance letter,however, it said they still need to receive them-- they will in a few weeks when the results come in. my question pertains to the importance of these scores; can my admission be revoked if my scores are not good enough? that is, does w&l need to merely receive my scores to be consistent with admissions policy or will they actually still be evaulated for what the numbers are? also, how good do my GPA need to remain this year for my admission to not be revoked? I take the "your admission is contigent upon successful completion of this year" thing seriously, but how strict is that policy?</p>
<p>First off - no one here can answer your SAT II question. It is a special situation that has likely never happened before and thus we do not know what the admissions office means by that.</p>
<p>Secondly, don't slack off too much - if you were working yourself to death, you can relax a little - but just dont' stop studying completely and let your grades plummet. They just want to see you keep up the grades you have on your transcript and you will be fine.</p>
<p>Congratulations and see you in the fall!</p>
<p>Congrats Tripp...I myself have been worrying about the slacking off part. All my friends are telling me to chill out but I'm too nervous to let my grades drop a lot. Plus if we get a certain year grade no final exams!</p>
<p>Good luck. I would say just do it based on personal feeling? If you know you could do better work than do it. Just keep up with what you had in the beginning of the year.</p>
<p>I'll be in MI during spring break to do community service work. Rebuilding and such. What's the scene like down there? There's been little news coverage as of late so I'm curious.</p>
<p>I mean MS...</p>

<p>the scene in new orleans is much more encouraging than that in mississippi. the mississippi gulf coast experienced much more severe wind/surge damage than did new orleans--new orleans just got much more coverage because of how much more populated it is than the mississippi gulf coast. however, the national media did tend to sensationalize the whole katrina thing, by showing only the MOST devastated areas and by interviewing the most emotional yet uneducated people they could find. dont get me wrong; your help will be greatly appreciated and i thank you in advance for coming.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah we're going from the 9th-19th. Good luck with everything where you are.</p>
