Chances at Villanova

I am wondering what my chances of admission are at Villanova. I’d say that it is most likely my number 1 school on my list. I am applying early action. Here are my stats:

31 ACT (one sitting)
4.2 W gpa, 3.86 UW gpa
5 AP classes
Strong extracurriculars - elected for student council, National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, 4yr varsity athlete, peer-tutoring, summer job, honor roll, + a few clubs, lots of community service
Visited campus 3 times and met with admission counselor at my school
---- also have two family members (aunt/uncle) that attended

Thanks!!

Hi!
Congrats your stats are amazing.

I think you will be deferred to regular decision and then get in.
EA is extremely difficult at Nova and with the acceptance rate dropping so much, I expect this year to be even harder to get in EA.

If you went ED I think yes! And I do think you will get in, but I do think a lot of athletes go EA.

My child got in last year EA and they do not send you any financial information until the end of March. It is a long process with EA.
I think you will be a future Wildcat for sure.

Good luck !

@Patsyclarkstown thanks so much for the information!! I am definitely apprehensive about EA because I know it is super hard compared to ED or RD. Unfortunately, because of financial aid, I can’t apply ED because we will be held to the contract.

Also, do you mind sharing your child’s stats?

Do you think I would have better chances if I apply RD? Or just see if I get deferred EA?

My child’s stats
1500 SAT
32 ACT
800 on subject SAT
97 unweighted 99 weighted GPA
5 APs scored 5 on all
Recruited athlete
Public high school graduated with 350 top 5%
No real community work but was NHS, Science honor society and Spanish honor society.

I would apply EA for sure!!! Just do not get disappointed if you get deferred, but you may get accepted EA.

I just know some amazing kids at her high school were deferred EA but got in regular.

The waiting game for financial aid was awful. It was so bad she almost went to Colgate. Our financial aid was good but much less than others.
Your stats are amazing, but I do think the athletes will have upper hand .

The acceptance rate dropped so much and so many that were accepted that was through ED.

Your stats are fantastic!! You’ve got this!!

My child did get into the honors program as well, which she enjoys!

Ask me anything else!

@Patsyclarkstown Wow, very impressive. Colgate is also a great school. Thanks again for sharing this information!! Hopefully I’ll become a Wildcat!
