<p>You are VERY competitve. Good Luck.</p>

<p>I hate when people do this. People with no lives post on here with incredible scores asking if they can get in mediocre to above average schools. To brag, I guess; I could be wrong, but damn...</p>

<p>is certainly not a mediocre school. I think it is way above average not even "just" above average. And, it is getting better (and harder to get into) every year. I dont think OP was a troll, but sometimes it seems that there are trolls out there.</p>

<p>yeah i dont think villanova is a ''mediocre'' school.
and i know a couple of poeple with strong college applications who got deferred from 'Nova.</p>

<p>So I wasn't posting it just to brag.</p>

<p>And Nova is becoming increasingly more selective each year.</p>

<p>On collegeboard.com, their acceptance rate went from 51% a year ago, I suppose, to 44% currently (I'm pretty sure)</p>

<p>Its definitely becoming more competitive. </p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback :)</p>

<p>You're chances are great...sure you are in.</p>

<p>As for competitiveness, most schools appear to becoming more competitive becasue more kids are applying to more schools...it is expeected to stay that way through 2011 when the # of students entering college will drop demographically.</p>

<p>Yea, the competitiveness thing is crap. People are applying to 10 or 12 schools and really hoping to get in 1. Since a lot of people are doing this, colleges are getting more applications. The schools arent getting any bigger so the acceptance rates are going down. Now this 1st choice school just got harder to get into and its all the applicants fault. </p>

<p>I don't think you will be affected by this but i felt like ranting.</p>
