Do I have a shot for Villanova?

<p>Hi! I am not very confident in my chances for Villanova, and it is probably my biggest reach. I was hoping for a few people to chance me. I don't think I'll get in, but do you think I have a shot to be waitlisted at least?</p>

<p>Gender: Female
Race: White
GPA: 95 unweighted, 90 weighted (my school just gives GPA out of 100, not on a 4 point scale - essentially I have all A's and A-'s)
Rank: Top 10%, possibly 8-9%
SAT: 1840 (640 reading, 570 math, 630 writing - I know this is my biggest weakness)
ACT: 28 composite, 30 writing score</p>

<p>Classes:
-7 AP classes (Spanish, Language & Comp, Lit, US History, Biology, Chemistry, Statistics)
-Rest are all honors classes</p>

-Spanish National Honors Society
-Nursing home volunteer
-Soup kitchen/food pantry volunteer

<p>Sports:
-Varsity lacrosse (all 4 years), most valuable player

-JV/Varsity Basketball (3 years)</p>

<p>Work Experience:
-Local retail store (~20 hours/week, have worked there 9-12)

-Higher income (~200k) but still will be applying for financial aid
-Both parents went to college</p>

<p>Essays/Recs:
-Essay is very unique, recs are great</p>

<p>I think that you have an impressive resume…but considering that Villanova keeps becoming more and more competitive, it’s hard to say. Regardless I think that you have a good shot of getting in (even though math is a little on the low side). </p>

<p>One thing I can say for certain, is that you will NOT get good financial aid. Since you have a high income(like most of the students who go here) your financial aid package will be poor, no doubt about that.</p>

<p>Thanks! It’s good to know that I at least have a shot. I figured that would be the case with financial aid, though.</p>

<p>Im applying to Villanova EA. I am a senior from New jERSEY AND I go to a catholic high school. My unweighted gpa is 92.7 (91 freshman, 95 sophomore and junior years). i am top decile in my class–45/545…which is top 8 percent.
My SATs are 550 reading 590 math 670 writing. I belong to 3 clubs and i am in National Honor Society 11-12 grades. I played at least one sport every year in high school. I have 3 years of community service. What are my chances of acceptance to Villanova EA? If i dont make EA, will i make RD?</p>
