***Official Villanova EA 2021 Discussion Thread***

@willt31 who’s this “confirmed source”?

My dad who’s a huge alum of nova @c011e9e

I was deferred from EA BC too with a 35. I’m praying for Villanova because it’s really my last shot. I feel everyone’s pain, hopefully we all get in!!!

in at bc but deferred gtown, i could really use villanova today

@socollege236 you said you got rejected from BCs school of nursing… Did you not apply for nursing at villa as well? (Mentioned CLAS)
How come? Just curious :slight_smile:

Hoping it is today for EA. Friday seems typical…

I applied early action to villanova and I’m just wondering when they would release the acceptances and deferrals? Thank you

@jihyun89 I’m assuming you’re also Korean like me xD
anyways we all don’t know. There’s been a record amount of EA applicants for Villanova so the process might take longer than last time. If we’re following the trends of previous years there should be a decision today but considering the amount of students applying I would assume 20-24 are safer dates.

@Prep1233 how do you know that more people applied EA this year than last year? just curious

because I was indecisive about doing nursing or bio so I did half and half

@socollege236 ahh gotcha! Makes sense… Good luck!

Praying for today! I know it’s not likely but I can’t wait

@keurig83 It’s common sense mostly. More people apply every year.
This was last year’s comment:
This year, we were very fortunate to receive the largest Early Action pool of applicants in our University’s history with 9,377 students applying. That is an increase 8.6% from last year’s 8,627 early action applicants.

Last year, the EA applicants found out their decisions today… I wish we could too! But nope, now we wait until next week :frowning:

Does anyone know anything regarding the time of the Monday EA decision release?

@1zogden1 I thought I saw earlier on this thread that they came out at 5pm (eastern time?) last year, but I’m not positive.

So I, as many of us, am extremely nervous about Villanova. I’d love an honest answer. Applying to VSB with a 4.2 and 31 ACT. I know my stats aren’t ideal academically but I have a plethora of extra curriculars and am an IB diploma candidate. One of my more significant extra curriculars is the fact that I own and operate my own corporation. Do I have a genuine shot?

Are we all pretty sure it’s Monday?

@cruserjack I think you have a good shot. The 31 is a little bit low, but it’s still solid. Is that your super score? Because they do super score ACT now. If you are deferred, I would say you have a great shot RD. Good luck. And yes, your own corporation is definitely a great thing to have on your application to a business school!

That is my super score, and much better than my 1300 SAT. But i’m hoping my course rigor and extra curriculars can pull me up. @collegemomjam
