Jersey Girl's Chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Villanova University
1

<p>Tons of kids from my school apply to Nova (about 35-38 each year.) Many of the top 10% just apply as a safety school, get accepted but don't go. I attend the highest rated public school in NJ. It is extremely competitive and we send many kids to the ivy and upper tier schools. I applied to the Business School and I really want to go.</p>

<p>So here goes my numbers... do you think I have a chance at EA, given all the comp at my school.</p>

<p>GPA 4.60 (out of 4) - 5.70 (out of 5.) I only have weighted GPA</p>

<p>Top 5% in very competitive school</p>

<p>17 honors/AP classes </p>

<p>ACT 30
Many leadership school leader activities, School Ambassador, Tutor, NHS, Language Honor
Society, Moderate amount of community service</p>

<p>Very good essay
Very good letters of rec</p>

<p>No sports (bad, I know ;(</p>

<p>Legacy </p>

<p>I really want to get in early action and be done with the whole process! What do you'all think my chances are at EA - given average ACT score?</p>

<p>I think you are pretty much in. The GPA is outstanding, and number of AP’s is very high. As you noticed, your ACT is a little low in comparison to your grades, but if you’re doing as well as you say at such a competitive school, you’re probably in.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I applied Early Action as well.</p>

<p>Good luck to you too SamSam!
I know my ACT is not very high…but hopefully they will take notice of how hard I have been working in school and let that be what drives the EA decision.</p>

<p>The ACT is the only thing. I got into VSB with a 4.6~ at a competitive HS with a 2100 SAT (1400 M+R). We would love to have you. Yes, lots of kids are from Jersey. All over Jersey.</p>
