<p>Extra Curricular Activities:
These are strong, but not outstanding. I’ve held several leadership positions, and shown commitment/passion to a few areas in particular. I’m a member of NHS like most applicants… I’m very involved in community service (I’ll probably graduate with 300-400 hours of documented service). I’ve held a steady job (15hrs/week school, 40 hrs/week summer) all throughout high school. I play sports—captain of my team… etc. etc. </p>

<p>In short, I doubt my ECs won’t get me in, but they shouldn’t keep me out. </p>

<p>Essays/Recs:
I think I will have one really, really great rec, one “good” rec, and I think my counselor rec will be pretty strong. I worked hard on my essays and expect them to have a positive influence on my apps (I’ve gotten good feedback), but ya never know! =)</p>

<p>Thank You!</p>

2

<p>Yea… you are definitely in.</p>

3

<p>Thanks? But I wouldn’t say I’m “definitely in”, ha. I’ve heard I have closer to a 50/50 shot… lol</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

4

<p>You are applying to the Liberal Arts</p>

5

<p>Yeah… and? </p>

<p>ha, I don’t get your point. Are you saying I should get in because I’m applying to the easier school at Villanova (as compared to the business school). I’m sure I have a better shot, but I wouldn’t say I’m in.</p>

6

<p>yes to hopeful underdog, good stats</p>

<p>i’d put money on it lol</p>

7

<p>lol, really? That’s good to hear! :)</p>

8

<p>id say youre in… liberal arts isnt that challenging to get into and youre stats are pretty good</p>

<p>dont worry =]</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m not going to count my chickens before they hatch… but hearing that is a nice boost of confidence. Nova isn’t my first choice school, but nevertheless, I like the school and I really want to get in!</p>
