Villanova - Class of 2025 - Early Action

Our daughter was deferred (nursing applicant)

4.0 UW
4.167 Weighted (will go up with 2 more APs this year) - only APs count for weight here
Rank: 31/534 weighted; tied with numerous kids for 1st UW (meaningless really)
1460 SAT (one sitting)
5 APs, 5 College Prep
No math at her school is anything other than “regular” until CP or AP Calc!
ECs: V track for what would have a 3rd year as a junior but season cancelled at start; travel soccer (fall frosh year then got into track); club track; JV xc one summer/fall; volunteering, PT job, great LOR’s.

Bummer to have to wait until 4/1. We need to tour the campus even if just on our own, so doesn’t leave much time for that.
