Editor's notes

• Use the optional materials if your transcript doesn't tell the whole story. Sweet Briar accepts an essay, writing or art sample, portfolio, interview or recommendation, and none is required.
• Check the merit cutoffs before deciding on test scores. Awards follow GPA bands, but Sweet Briar says submitted SAT or ACT scores may affect your tier.
