Check your portals. You can now click on “Personal Announcements” and find out if you are a finalist. I didn’t make it, but I figured as much when I received an e-mail a few weeks ago about the"Villanova Scholarship." Good luck, everyone!
No joy here either. They said they got more than 1200 apps for 18 scholarships, so yeah, very competitive.
My son isn’t a finalist either. #1 in class. 35 ACT, 1560 SAT. I wasn’t sure about the Scholarship but I thought he would at least be a finalist.
I’m a finalist! Not going to post exact stats, but I have a 4.0 and a pretty good ACT. For what it’s worth, it would seem that they heavily weight EC’s and strong essay responses, as my test scores were by no means perfect.
