<p>You look like a great applicant. You need to show interest in Villanova. There is a business school open house in the fall that you may enjoy attending before you complete your application. You will be able to talk to faculty and students from the business school. Look for it online or call admissions for the date. Your parents are invited too.
EA applicants are usually the most highly qualified. If you are eligible for National Merit Scholar and have the scores and GPA you do, you are pretty close.
Do you plan to play a sport? You mention golf in your description. You cannot get a sports scholarship and a presidential scholarship at Nova.</p>

<p>VSB: Safety </p>

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong but VSB advantages Asians whereas more competitive business schools would ask more from Asian applicants…</p>

<p>Thanks for your replies. </p>

<p>Windbeheldwings, what do you think are the best ways for me to express my interest in Villanova? Are college tours and questions via email to the admissions office enough?</p>

<p>Catria, I was unaware of that…that’d be nice though</p>

<p>Okay wait…I don’t know how I skipped over pretty much everything you said, it’s literally all right there. Thanks for the great suggestions!</p>

<p>Oh and no, I don’t plan on playing golf in college unless I can really improve my playing over the summer.</p>
