I see same envelope in informed delivery today. Will have to wait until get home. Does anyone know if student is invited to honors program, student is also invited to apply for st. Augustine scholarship?
I forgot about informed delivery, just checked, looks like she is getting mail from honors Villanova today.
Daughter received Honors College package today in mail â state of MA
And it arrived here today in NJ.
Congrats to everyone that got into Honors! Now Iâm really hoping to see something about the scholarship lol.
does anyone know if merit $ usually associated with Honors College?
Hey guys! I received my letter of acceptance to the honors college today! About 5 minutes ago, I also received an email from Villanova inviting me to apply for the St. Augustine scholarship! I am from MA.
I got an invitation to apply for the St. Augustine scholarship as well, but no honors college invitation yet.
@MarinaraSauce2 I think you will most likely be getting an honors college invitation in that case if you do not have a rejection notice on your portal because many people get honors but not St. Augustine. I wouldnât worry, I think your mail is just slow

Hi @Pinkponylife Congrats!! Would you mind sharing your stats? My son got the honors invite, but no scholarship. 36 ACT, 4.14 GPA, lots of service, campus ministry, Jesuit HS, piano for 10 years, drama club, other great ECs, fabulous essay. I am really surprised he did not get the scholarship invite. I do know we did not complete all the paperwork for financial aid, mainly because we know we are not eligible. Not sure if they needed that for the decision.
Honors college(mail) and St. Augustine invite(email) arrived today! We did not apply for financial aid either @WineLover so doesnât appear they need that for the decision. Congrats everyone that got into honors and good luck with the St. Augustine app.
I wonder if they donât invite people they think will not apply. DS was nominated to apply for presidential scholarship but then did not submit essays. That may signal a lack of interest. Who knows. Just glad he has other options. Honestly, even with the scholarship, he most likely would have gone with Notre Dame anyway, which has always been his dream school. Congrats everyone and good luck with the scholarship!
@WineLover thanks for writing to me! Honestly, Iâm not sure what my weighted GPA is in comparison to everyone else because every high school calculates them differently. However, I have straight Aâs and almost all of my classes are at the AP level. I got a 1500 on my SAT, which I think is pretty average for Villanova Honors. My guess is that even though my stats are not the highest, I am a âwell-roundedâ candidate. I think they probably liked that I show a lot of leadership experience, because a lot of colleges emphasize the importance of that. I am the editor-in-chief of my schoolâs newspaper, captain of the varsity tennis team, president of various honors societies, and led a campaign at my school to help raise awareness about available treatments for those struggling with mental illness. I also have led many community service-based activities. With my essay, I took an unusual approach which they may have found interesting, and wrote multiple drafts so HOPEFULLY it was well-written ?. Sorry for talking your ear off but hopefully this demonstrates that it may just be that they like a certain candidate for a random reason, and it is no reflection on your sonâs academic abilities. Based on his amazing stats, I am confident that he will excel wherever he ends up. Nice talking to you!
Also did anyone who got an acceptance letter to the honors college get an update on their portal? Because I got an acceptance letter today but nothing on my portal has changed to indicate that I have been accepted to the honors college.
I received my honors program and St. Augustine invitation today, but nothing has changed on my portal. For those wondering, I got a 34 on ACT, 1490 on SAT, tons of leadership and service in addition to starting my own nonprofit. Iâm also currently ranked 1 out of 300. Congrats to those accepted!
For those who received the St. Augustine invitation, did you apply for the Presidential Scholarship too?
if you got honors program notification but no Augustine invitation does that mean you could still be in the running for the presidential scholarship or no?
My son received invitation to honor program today. ACT36, UW GPA 3.972
I got my acceptance into honors today with the St. Augustine invitation. My stats are 33 ACT and lots of APs, I have a 4.0 unweighted and a lot of ECâs. I know the honors has a waitlist also for when other students may decline offers.
@Jacobthebest1 I didnât apply for Presidential. I found out too late 
I got my Augustine and Honors acceptances and invites today.
