Villanova Waitlist Class of 2020

Hello everyone. I figured I would make this thread for people who were waitlisted and accepted their place on the waitlist for the fall 2016 semester. If you receive a call or email for admission hopefully you can post it here. Best of luck to everyone!

Nothing yet, I think they will start this week.

Haven’t heard anything yet. Deposits were due yesterday so I suspect that we start to hear within the new few days.

Good Luck to all on the wait list. Villanova does take student from the wait list unlike other schools. Many other schools it is just a waist of time.

oops… waste of time.

Do you find it hard to be on the waitlist if a student?

I am a parent and my son has committed to Penn State, Business School, and just accepted into the Sapphire Leadership and we are set to go to the NSO later this month. He is still interested in Villanova but I wanted to get your opinions - either parent or student. How do you feel about the school you are committed to ? If you get into Villanova are you still going or will it be hard to decide? This is my first child going to college. Just curious.

@drsjobs, I’m a parent, too, and it’s funny you asked that question. My daughter is committed to Villanova and accepted a WL spot at an ivy, and I kind of feel like the train has left the station. She’s so excited for Nova, has met people in a Facebook group, has bought the shirts, car decals, etc … I wonder how the advent of social media has changed WLs. When I was in college, you wouldn’t have formed any connection at all by this point, but things are so different these days.

My son initially accepted a spot on the wait list this year then decided to take his name off the list. He is feeling really positive about his other school. Heading to Lehigh in the fall. I think it would be tough to be all geared up to go to another school then only have a day or two to decide if you want to go someplace else. The whole drawn out process this year waiting for acceptances, deferrals, denials was tough. Prolonging it just does not seem right unless the school you are on the wait list for is your number 1 choice. Best of luck to everyone with their waitlists and final decisions.

Yes he is wait listed to Lehigh and Bucknell as well. Good Luck to your son. Time will tell.

That is a good question… My S was waitlisted at several schools that where high on his list. I think he feels some relief with the making of his decision. At this point, I feel he will stay at where he committed even if he is contacted by a waitlist school. The more time that goes by the more attached he is becoming to the school he has committed to. He attended admitted students day which basically sealed the deal. As a parent, I am relieved that the process is over. Lol! It’s been a long year.

I truly breathed a huge sigh of relief when we paid the deposit. Phew! I have a rising junior and I am so glad that she has a year off until apps go out again.

Villanova was my top school and I was devastated when I saw that I was waitlisted. I’ve already committed to another school. I think that if I get into Villanova with a relatively decent financial aid package (unlikely), I’ll end up at Villanova. It’ll definitely be a difficult decision since I’m already invested into the school I committed to and I’ve developed friendships with my future classmates there.

@Asil65 same boat! My next son is a rising junior as well. Good luck to you all!

Has anyone heard anything yet? I know both Notre Dame and Providence began calling kids off their WL on Wed

Last year Villanova made calls at the end of the work day on Thurs the 7th. I think it will be today or Monday.
