<p>i've been accepted to both university of connecticut and villanova, and i absolutely can't decide which one is a better fit for me. i want a school with a good academic reputation, but i want to have fun too! i hear a lot of rumors about "villanofun", but i don't know a lot about the academic reputation of uconn. i received adequate financial aid for both, so the cost isn't really an issue. ANY opinions at all, or information about either school, would be awesome. thanks!!</p>
<p>fun can always be found at a college. i’d go with the better academic reputation, whatever you feel is stronger. Just out of curiosityyy what were your stats to get accepted at these schools since i will be applying in the next few years and im interested in what they are accepting.</p>
<p>i got in early action for both… my sats were 1380/2100
math: 660
verbal: 720
writing: 720</p>
<p>and my gpa was a 3.53 …which isn’t that great, but i go to bergen acadmies, which is a magnet school so i take all honors classes. i don’t know if they considered that when they looked at my gpa or not, but i heard that they do. good luck!</p>
<p>I was accepted to both schools as well – I eliminated Villanova though because of the 52,000 price tag that came with it. Got the leadership scholarship at Uconn which is paying for half my tuition (OOS) so it’s a lot more affordable.</p>
<p>Stats were 3.57 GPA Unweighted
1320/1930</p>
<p>720 Math
610 Reading
600 Writing</p>
<p>Had a ton of ECs though: 4 year varsity soccer + tennis, President/founder of recycling club, choral groups, 4 years drama, peer leaders etc.</p>
<p>*1330/1930, typo I apologize</p>
