Does legacy help at Nova?

<p>My dad went to Nova for grad school. I heard that if I meet their bar, legacy helps. Can any one share their experience?</p>

<p>Well I know somebody that had the exact SAT scores as I did, who got defered, and I got in. I was legacy, and the other person wasn’t. So I think it helps, but there could easily have major differences in our applications. But Yes, its considered</p>

<p>If you look on www1.villanova.edu, it says that Legacy is considered. My mother was saltudarorian and was acceptd EA, however, my sister was deffered then rejected. So legacy isn’t everything.</p>

<p>I meant my mom was salutatorian; I WAS ACCEPTED EA my sister was deffered then rejected.</p>

<p>Legacy helps a person on the cusp get in, but it won’t make a big difference for someone without the credentials.</p>

<p>Different colleges have different definitions of legacy. Villanova just asks for any relative, vs. some limit it to parent or grandparent.</p>

<p>you can do part time… and slowly make your way in i think</p>
