<p>Villanova is my number one choice. I've applied early action (they don't offer early decision) and have visited three times. They also don't do interviews but I've talked to both alumni volunteers and the admissions representative from my area (Fairfield County). Can I get in??????????</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are AMAZING. GPA is decent for admissions. SATs in the range. Just slightly on the low side. Let's see...interest is high, of course.</p>

<p>I'd say safe match. Your extracurriculars are through the roof, and your interest appears to be strong.</p>

3

<p>hmm never heard of nova. but your ecs are great</p>

4

<p>That's Villanova, not Nova (to above). I'd say you are a safe match. Your test scores and GPA are good, and though your ECs are not outstanding, they are nevertheless excellent.</p>

5

<p>What? Those ECs are amazing. I'd love to see someone with extra curriculars better than that...</p>

<p>I really wish you luck; try to pull strings whenever you can, with whomever you can associated with the school. My D1 got deferred EA, then waitlisted and summer waitlisted. Needless to say, she is at ConnColl!! She had 730W, 650 CR, 630 M, 4.03 cum, capt of LAX, leading scorer for 2 yrs, soccer 4 years, editor of yearbook, worked as a nanny, bla bla bla...All 4's on AP, History, US History, Calculus (AP Scholar), Cum Laude Society, NHS for 3 years...Excellence in foreign Language Award, France Homestay, alone for a month....Not Catholic...And we visited the campus and sent in updates on grades after the deferral....It is really a crapshoot!!!</p>

<p>I am a student at Nova. Here is a hint, Nova will actually do some interviews if you call and ask for one. Sometimes they say no, othertimes they say yes, it depends on who you talk to. Also, your SATs and GPA are on the low side. Do not be disappointed if your EA is rejected, you most likely will get in RD if you are going to get in. What school are you applying to? Ask me any specfic questions you have.</p>
