I’m looking into applying for the Villanova health affiliate program with Thomas Jefferson University. I noticed on the Villanova website that it said an admissions criteria was to be in the top 10 percent of your high school class. I’m a junior so my GPA could always change, but as of now I think I’m below that (but not by much). My high school is extremely competitive (consistently ranked top 10 in my state and sends huge percentage of class to prestigious schools every year), so it’s difficult to rank highly. Is this criteria concrete or just something that is preferred? FYI, I meet/exceed all the other things they list such as GPA and ACT score. In addition, I would love to hear opinions on the health affiliate programs at Villanova in general.
