<p>General Comments:
Whatever happens, happens. You’ll all do great wherever you go.</p>
<p>My son was also wait listed and we seem to have had the same problem when saying “yes” to the wait list…BUT…I went back onto nova net and on the left hand side, where it posts your credentials, the first option, which has a green check mark next to it, was “active wait list candidate” so I guess it did work and he is officially on the wait list. So, those who have posted that when they hit “yes” to the wait list and it brings them back to the same screen, look at the credentials on the bottom to make sure you are actually wait listed. Congrats to everyone who was accepted! Remember….no matter where you decide to go, it works out like it is supposed to!</p>
<p>Just some advice from a current Villanova Freshman who found out she was waitlisted a year ago today: Dont give up!! I am in a dorm filled with waitlisted people… and we all appreciate villanova so much after having thought our chance to go here was over! Write a letter to admissions on why you want to go here. Don’t give up. There is hope and Villanova truly is a great school! Good luck to all!</p>
