Hi everyone, I just graduated from a private Catholic high school and I am taking a gap year. Villanova’s business program has really caught my eye and I was wondering what my chances were.

-3.5 UW
-4.0 W
-6 APs: Literature (4), Language and composition (4), French (5), Gov (4), US History (4), Calc AB (2)
-33 ACT (34E, 34M, 34R, 30S) looking to superscore, could probably get up to a 34
-Upward trend through high school, started with a 3.3 UW freshman year, finished with a 3.75 UW senior year.

ECs:
-Eagle Scout
-4 years of crew (captain senior year)
-100 hours of volunteering
-70 of which were with an organization that the mentally challenged (did my Eagle project there)
-Work at a concert hall, work nearly every show and there are 40 shows in a year

Gap year:
-interning at a startup for 6 months, will be doing finance related work
-traveling for 3 months
-helping out Boy Scout troop

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to look at my post.

@soren99 Seems like your stats are in order. Your UW GPA is low but you have an upward trend so it may be ok. The internship will look great. Write some thoughtful essays. I think you have a chance.

They told us they don’t consider AP scores.

Great, and yeah I feel good about my essays, don’t really mention the internship anywhere other than activities. And as for APs that’s fine, but thanks for letting me know.
