I know that Villanova claims to have a very holistic approach to applications, do people, maybe admitted students or anyone, know how accurate this is? All parts of my application are strong except for SAT scores. I applied ED but i’m nervous about how much my score will impact my decision.
Even if reviews are holistic, scores are still important. There is no way to determine if the SAT is more important than the gpa, or the leadership award you received, or the varsity letter.
Schools with holistic reviews still have SAT scores within a range.
