Slim chances?

<p>Hi, sorry this is my first post, and it's slightly early for this question, but I was wondering a few things about Nova admissions.</p>

<p>I've read that their middle 50% ACT was 31-34 or something around that, which I thought was much higher than I'd heard previously. I plan on applying Early Action, but is EA at Nova simply for the more-qualified students?</p>

<p>White, Catholic, Male </p>

<p>ACT: 30 - but retaking in June
GPA: W - 3.95
APs: 7 by end of Senior year
AP Scores: APUSH - 4
Extra-Currics: Elected to cabinet 4 years, NHS secretary, Model UN Advisor and winner of 3 awards, Parish leadership team, Political volunteerwork for 6+ campaigns, Volunteering with inner-city students after school.
SAT II's: Take next week, Spanish, World Hist., Lit.</p>

<p>Major: Either Intl. Business, or Political Science. </p>

<p>Do I have a chance at EA, or RD? Nova is really high on my list, and I'd always thought Villanova was selective, but not too difficult. Thanks!</p>

<p>You have a great shot RD, and a slightly slimmer chance EA. Your stats are right there. </p>

<p>They don’t take SAT II’s so don’t worry about that.</p>

<p>What was your SAT I score?</p>

<p>I didn’t take SAT I, but I needed the SAT IIs for Georgetown.</p>

<p>If I do well on the subject tests, is it a good idea to submit them to Nova with my application, or are they not considered?</p>

<p>i had lower a little bit lower stats than you and i got in EA for engineering… you should be fine !</p>

<p>Depends if you apply for business…VSB is far more competitive than any of the other schools. I got waitlisted for business, but after viewing your credentials, I am fairly confident that you would be a splendid candidate for VSB.</p>

<p>Best of luck,
Mike</p>

<p>you’ve got it in the bag man. the 30 is about average but everything else makes you stand out. 7 APs is crazy.</p>

<p>Thanks everybody for your help and opinions, I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Is the business school much more competetive/difficult to be admitted to?</p>

<p>Yes, it is. Trust me I know lol…there were other kids in my school who got into the liberal arts college at Villanova and I know for a fact that I could have been accepted when I compare myself to them. I got placed in this same aggravating situation at BC as well. Although BC is more difficult to get into than Nova IMO.</p>
