If you’re applying to college, you probably have a lot of questions about the whole process: What should my test scores look like? Are my extracurriculars good enough? Will I fit in at that school?

Finding answers to questions like these can become overwhelming really quickly, so we thought we’d help simplify things by going right to the source of great info. This week, we chatted with University of Vermont Admissions on Twitter and asked them the questions you’ve been thinking. Here’s what they had to say:

We asked:

@UVMAdmissions 1. How can a student know if they’ll fit in and really thrive at UVM? #MagooshU

They said:

1 @MagooshSAT Get on to our campus for a #UVMvisit to get a firsthand feel for what it’s like! http://t.co/1UQarDhSYk #MagooshU

We asked:

@UVMAdmissions 2. What’s the number one reason you would turn down an applicant to your school? #MagooshU

They said:

2 @MagooshSAT We practice ‘holistic review’ when reviewing a student’s application; one thing will not ‘make or break’ a student #MagooshU

We asked:

@UVMAdmissions 3. College is expensive! So what do you recommend for financially strapped students applying to UVM? #MagooshU

They said:

3 @MagooshSAT Keep those grades up! #UVM automatically considers applicants for merit-based scholarship! #MagooshU http://t.co/jYIkd8BvUK

3 @MagooshSAT Check out Student Financial Services for merit, need-based, & application scholarships #MagooshU http://t.co/jYIkd8BvUK

We asked:

@UVMAdmissions 4. Should a student choose their school based on how their SAT scores compare to that schools average SAT score? #MagooshU

— Magoosh SAT (@MagooshSAT) March 6, 2014

They said:

4 @MagooshSAT This ties into our ‘holistic review’. We look at the whole picture to determine admissibility #MagooshU…

— UVM Admissions (@UVMAdmissions) March 9, 2014

4 @MagooshSAT The transcript is a crucial piece so definitely check for our school’s entrance requirements. #MagooshU http://t.co/GrrbGwUKax

— UVM Admissions (@UVMAdmissions) March 9, 2014

4 @MagooshSAT Keep in mind, UVM’s 7 different schools/colleges has slightly different requirements! #MagooshU http://t.co/GrrbGwUKax

— UVM Admissions (@UVMAdmissions) March 9, 2014

We asked:

@UVMAdmissions 5. Are repeated low SAT scores a deal breaker for UVM? #MagooshU

— Magoosh SAT (@MagooshSAT) March 6, 2014

They said:

5 @MagooshSAT We practice super scoring, and look only at the highest testing score from across multiple testing dates #MagooshU

— UVM Admissions (@UVMAdmissions) March 10, 2014

We asked:

@UVMAdmissions 6. Final piece of advice you’d like every UVM applicant to know? #MagooshU

— Magoosh SAT (@MagooshSAT) March 6, 2014

They said:

6 @MagooshSAT Definitely make a visit to the schools your considering for a sense of the community you will be joining! #MagooshU
