<p>Very happy overall. The honors program acceptance was a nice surprise in my letter too!</p>
<p>D received her Honors college letter yesterday. I believe that scholarship and FA details come later in the spring after FAFSA and CSS are completed and filed (they are due February 7th). There will be an admitted Honors College program in mid-February.</p>
<p>Got into the honors program! Comes in the mail a few days after the online acceptance

You definitely need to write a letter of continued interest. See if you can find out who your admissions officer is and address it to him/her. Include why Villanova is where you want to be, include any achievements you did not include in original application or that were achieved since applying, how you would enrich the Villanova University community, etc…best wishes!!!</p>
<p>@jaysmoove: How could you possibly have been accepted to BC and deferred from Georgetown unless you did not abide by the restrictive early action rules of both of those colleges? You were only allowed to apply to ONE of those schools REA. You must have cheated in order to apply to both of those schools REA. I wonder how BC would react if they knew what you did? What a shame that there were probably many, many students who would have applied to both, only they played by the rules and now don’t have the same amount of choices that you have right now.</p>
<p>Restricted early action at BC and GU just mean you cannot apply binding early decision anywhere else. It’s perfectly fine to apply early action to BC and Georgetown.</p>
<p>Gcmomoftwo…get your facts straight before you make nasty accusations about other people. There is nothing at all wrong with applying REA to both BC and Georgetown…those programs restrict applications to a binding early decision school.</p>
<p>Georgetown and BC are both REA schools. I specifically called both schools when my child was trying to decide which school to go REA at. They BOTH told me that you can only apply REA to one of the schools, and no other REA or ED school, but you can apply EA anywhere. </p>

If your assertion is accurate, I think many, many applicants are unaware; not “cheaters”. That was a poor choice of words.
The BC website fails to corroborate your statement, at least in any clearly articulated manner:
[Deadlines</a> - Boston College - Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“Admission - Boston College”>Admission - Boston College)</p>
<p>Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that your view of this is correct; why aren’t these schools going to much greater lengths to make the policy clear? The applicant overlap at G’town and BC is tremendous as I’m sure you are aware.
I’m skeptical that there is any problem here.</p>
<p>“Students are welcome to apply to other early action programs or to other regular decision programs while at the same time applying to Georgetown’s early action program.”</p>
<p>I conduct alumni interviews for GU and receive very specific training. I promise this is true.</p>
<p>On the BC website, click on Understanding our Restrictive Early action policy to see this:</p>
<p>“A student applying to other schools with early action programs may also apply to Boston college under our restricted early action program.”</p>
<p>Again, I guarantee that for the 2013-2014 applicants, it is permissible to have applied EA to BC and GU.</p>
<p>Both the BC and Georgetown websites are unequivocal in their explanations of their respective REA program. The only restriction for a candidate is applying to a binding early decision school…multiple non-binding early action applications may be made when applying to either school. In fact, the Georgetown website provides an admissions philosophy statement to clarify this point.</p>

<p>Looking at the trend of acceptances it looks like there was a general cut off of 30 ACT score. I didn’t read through all but it seems like 29’s got deferred.</p>
