<p>id say ur in pretty good shape. Keep that GPA up senior year</p>

3

<p>But they shouldn't see my senior year grades right? Until after I get in (crosses fingers) that is, since I'll apply before first semester is over...</p>

4

<p>im sure they'll love that attitude!</p>

5

<p>what? I'm not saying i'm planning on slacking off at all. I've heard of some colleges changing their minds on people for slacking off.</p>

6

<p>so why are you worried?</p>

7

<p>I'm not, I just wanted to know what my chances are of getting in..</p>

<p>Your stats look great, keddy. I think you've got a decent shot, and being from Colorado I would think could be an added plus for you. The essays count alot- Villanova has their own that they apparently do pay a lot of attention to. Best of luck, my d applied to many of the schools you're interested in; she loves Villanova.</p>

<p>thanks, any other opinions?</p>
