<p>You stand a very strong chance–you’re in their median SAT ranges, you are in the top 10th of your class with a 3.75+, have strong extracurricular activities, and you have an alumni relation. I think you will get in without any issue.</p>

<p>Hello, I want to know what my chances are of getting into Villanova. I am currently a Junior at a very prestigious suburban Pittsburgh high school. Villanova is my top college and I plan on double majoring in Finance and Accounting. Being a Junior, I plan on taking the SATs and ACTs several more times in order to achieve a more competitive score.
