<p>What do you think of my chances guys?</p>

<p>ohh and i don't need financial aid, if that boosts my chances?</p>

<p>bump bump anyone</p>

<p>Yeah, not requesting financial aid is a boost (and first generation may be another as well). I do think chancing is kind of futile, but just based on the stats above it looks like you have decent chances. Your SATs look okay for Villanova but not (or barely) higher than Villanova's average (I think it's around 1300 or so - check the website). You've got plenty of time to retake it. You have a good variety of ECs and leadership (definitely better than mine). You can check the stats of this year's EA applicants in another thread on here if you want.</p>

<p>I'm an international applicant too, but a '13-er waiting for the admission decision. Good luck, leo_francis!</p>
