<p>You would be a strong candidate and would guess that you would be offered RD admission.
Be aware that Villanova does not officially consider the the writing portion of the SAT , so your SAT is 1350.
The variables will be teacher and guidance recommendation and your essays.
As for Early Action I think you are close but may be deferred.</p>

<p>I had similar credentials as you and I was deferred EA but accepted regular. But then again I know people with 1200 SAT (just English and math) accepted EA, it really depends on the major i think. (sometimes I think it’s random) I applied for engineering. I think you have a really good shot at acceptance, and weather it’s in the winter or spring, whatever, i think you’ll get in. But villanova is weird with acceptances, not to scare you but i know people with over 2000 SAT who have gotten wait listed and rejected. just cross your fingers and i think your deff qualified.</p>
