I’d say you are a very strong applicant. I believe that Nova’s average SAT is 29, but I’m not completely sure. Regardless, your extracurriculars and GPA seem solid enough to get you accepted. Chance back?

I think you have a pretty good chance of getting into Villanova. Your ECs are strong and so are your grades. Good luck! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much! Villanova will either defer or accept early action applicants. I’m really hoping I don’t get deferred!

By the way I meant ACT on my last post. Lol

***should note: unweighted GPA’s are 3.4-3.6 (the AP’s help with the weighting)

Villanova defers a lot at EA, so don’t be discouraged if that happens. You are a strong candidate,but may not make it at EA. For business, they like to see students with strong math credentials, so the AP Calc will help you there.
Good luck
