<p>Also, what is Villanova's reputation outside of the PA/NJ/NY region??</p>

<p>I'd say you're in, no problem. Villanova is very popular here in CT; not sure how widespread the reputation is, but I would say at least Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.</p>

<p>I have no doubt you'll be admitted. My daughter was admitted to Notre Dame with numbers like yours, but didn't have extracurriculars as good as yours, so I think you'll do fine.</p>

<p>I know some alumni here in Ohio, and Villanova has a good reputation. We're looking at Villanova for my junior son. He can major in Engineering and still get a good liberal arts education. It is an early leader for his affections along with other Catholic schools like Notre Dame, Providence, St. Louis Univ., and a few non-Catholic schools.</p>

<p>The business school is pretty highly ranked. Maybe not the reputation of an Ivy League, but it's recognized as a great school</p>

5

<p>you're easily in- it's a solid school- no ivy but no trash for sure</p>

<p>I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but what are you doing swmergrl5? You know you are going to get in, probably honors. Look at college board- you are at least 50 points higher than the 75 percentile in every SAT section, you are top five or in the top 2%. </p>

<p>In all seriousness, this "chance me" seems more like a feed my ego.</p>

<p>Come on- you are 99% in and probably 85% in honors program.</p>

<p>To figure out whether or not you are in look at collegeboard.com yourself before posting. (It's certainly nothing against you personally- this type of stuff just rubs me the wrong way because I know there are kids who got 1280-1350's on their SAT's and are praying every night that they get in.)</p>

<p>what is the honors program and how do u find out whether you got into it or not?</p>

<p>PS I was accepted and have similar stats to OP</p>
