<p>lots of positive on your application.Villanova is still math & cr on SAT ,so your weakest portion of SAT should not hurt.if you could pick up a few more points to get above 1350 it will help as Business school is quite competetive.
Geographic diversity , extra curriculars , service and rigorous schedule also will help.
Think about your essay to express what your are passionate about.Show your individuality and show what about you that is unique.
Financial aid could derail you.Be the strongest candidate possible to get the best FA offer.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply, I appreciate your advice. If I get, say, a 30 or so on the ACT, would it be better to send in the ACT rather than my SATs?</p>

4

<p>The 50% range for Villanova on the ACT is 31-33 I believe. It’s like 1360-1450 for the SATs…</p>

5

<p>jkund:your 50% may be for accepted students.
Please refer to 2008/09 Common Data set:</p>

<p>For enrolled students 2008, 25/75 %tile is 1220/1370 SAT , 2/31 composite ACT. VSB will be higher.
82% submit SAT , 18% submit ACT</p>

6

<p>But technically, Brave, the data for accepted students is more accurate. I mean, the goal is to get accepted after all, so you want to fall within that range.</p>

<p>[Undergraduate</a> Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www.villanova.edu/enroll/admission/application/undergrad/statistics.htm]Undergraduate”>http://www.villanova.edu/enroll/admission/application/undergrad/statistics.htm)</p>

<p>If the OP wants to get accepted, I would say that they should aim for that 50th percentile range of accepted students… it would only make sense.</p>

7

<p>My data is accurate , directly from the CDS published by the school and the basis for college board figures.
The goal is to attend (enroll).
You don’t get extra credit for acceptances, you can only attend 1 university at a time.
Accepted numbers are skewed as many of the accepted have no intention of attending , using the school as a safety.</p>

<p>I just want applicants to know that many students enroll with SAT below 1350 and ACT below 30.</p>

<p>VSB will need stronger numbers and a big FA package will come with upper end scores.</p>

8

<p>what about class rank? decent chance tho i would say</p>

9

<p>My school doesn’t give actual ranks, but percentile. I think I’m around the top 15 percentile. My school is pretty competitive.</p>

10

<p>they dont have a preference though right?</p>

11

<p>i dont kno how accurate it is but collegeboard says</p>

<p>60% in top 10th of graduating class
81% in top quarter of graduating class
96% in top half of graduating class</p>
