<p>I’m from TX and I got the email (not the one that said it was sent to everyone, but the other email), so I don’t think it’s based on location and who would be able to reasonably travel there for the workshop.</p>
<p>My S and his classmate were both offered 20k to northeastern bus school and deans scholarship to fordham bus school. However they both want villanova. They are ranked 9 & 10 in their class of 430 with a 98.5 average. Both got 34 on ACT. I’m not at all saying they are a sure bet, but I’m not counting them out yet either. They both did NOT receive the invitation email. I’m just going to keep praying. </p>
<p>Maybe the email was sent for people who got deferred? </p>
<p>These emails seem to be totally random, because looks like some very qualified candidates did not receive them! I’m just gonna try to forget about it, decisions will probably be released tomorrow or Friday anyway</p>
<p>My son had a 32 on his ACT and a 2100 on his SAT. I reciceved the workshop email. I heard that updog grealty enhances your chances of getting in? Can anyone confirm that?</p>
<p>Don’t do it people… Don’t ask…</p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>HAHAHA! </p>
<p>Oh true</p>
<p>Fell right into the trap…</p>
<p>I hate to inform you of this, but any trace of updog in any form on any part of the application significantly decreases any chance of your son getting in. Villanova enacted an anti-updog policy a few years back. I guess you were not aware. </p>
<p>FYI, my son’s counselor was told by the admissions office that notifications are going out Thursday pm.</p>
<p>Any idea of a more precise time?</p>
<p>Wait I’m confused what’s updog?</p>
<p>(Sound of rimshot)</p>
<p>He said 4pm but I don’t know what time zone (we are on the west coast)</p>
<p>Can anyone else confirm 4pm est tomorrow?</p>
<p>@trueoverachiever I would think it would be 4pm eastern because that’s the nova time zone </p>
<p>@LosingSanity oh okay, misread that comment… I thought he said 4pm west coast. But regardless, still confused about decisions (I’ve heard tomorrow and Friday).</p>
<p>It might be 7 pm Eastern because my daughter’s friend the other night was told that NC State was releasing its decisions on-line at 7 pm. So it might not necessarily be during business hours. In fact, I would think they would prefer that it not be during business hours so the office doesn’t get flooded with calls. This way people have the night to process the result. Just a hunch.</p>
