<p>I think you have a fair shot…alot having to do with being Asian. Villanova is trying hard to become more diversified. Their Business School is very competitive and getting in EA is extra hard. Your EC’s are strong, SAT’s are OK and your GPA is probably a bit low for EA into the Business School. But, you have nothing to lose:) Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you!! Any other thoughts on my chances?</p>

<p>^I agree with AreWeDoneYet. Pretty good EC’s and the fact that you are a minority (for Nova, anyway) will help. The only thing that might hurt you is your GPA. They’ll look at the courses that you took too. Hopefully, they were challenging enough to account for your GPA. Best of luck! :D</p>
