<p>I was wondering how hard it is to get into villanova? I visited over summer and loved it. I am currently a junior.
I have a 3.8 and I have taken the hardest possible courses offered at my school. I currently have a 27 on the ACT but plan on getting a 31+. I play varsity sports and volunteer most weekends at st. Vincent dePaul. I also am very involved in various clubs at my school including FBLA, STUCO, NHS, Renaissance, and I started my own ACT prep club. If I get a better ACT score what kind of chance do you think I have? How hard is it to actually get accepted to VU?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Anyone? Any advice/comments?</p>

<p>Is your GPA weighted or unweighted? If weighted you are on the lower end of the Nova average, if unweighted that is a really solid GPA and you would look like a competitive applicant. With an ACT score of 27 you are well below the Nova average. Bringing your score up to a 31+ is a big jump… </p>

<p>BTW the stats for the actual freshman class (Fall 2011) are
CR SAT 590 - 680,
MATH SAT 620 - 710,<br>
ACT 28 - 31.<br>
The average weighted GPA is 3.86. </p>

<p>The stats for admitted students are obviously higher since many top students who also apply to the ivies, Notre Dame, BC, or Georgetown use Nova as a backup.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t do weighted gpa. That is my unweighted. And I am about to take an 8 week ACT prep course. I think I can bring up my composite to atleast a 31+. I was unable to take trig due to scheduling conflicts, so I only have a 25 on math. I think the class will definitely bring me up to that range. I have great ECs. I volunteer, play varsity football, and am in various clubs. I’ve taken the hardest courses possible, three dual enrollment courses and have doubled up two years on math. If I bring up my ACT, would you consider me to be a good fit?</p>
