<p>Hey!</p>
<p>I got wait listed at Villanova. How many other students are on the wait list? Do they have a good acceptance rate from the wait list? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I was wait-listed but am not accepting. I don’t understand waiting until June to get an admission decision. I have better offers from better schools. </p>
<p>I think the June deadline is an absolute extreme; I had a friend last year on the nursing waitlist who got a call for her acceptance on the night before May 1st. </p>
<p>I was also waitlisted, but I don’t think I can wait that long for an answer.</p>
<p>they accept about 5% from waitlist, which to me, is not worth waiting a month to get rejected. Plus, if you were to be accepted, you would have to pay full tuition- which is crazy. </p>
<p>I was wait listed for the nursing school as well. I want to accept my place, but every time I click “yes” on the portal, it doesn’t work. Anyone else having this problem? </p>
<p>Yes same problem. decided to move on. We are not paying 59000 a year. You get penalized for being accepted off waitlist for monies when offer decent money from other great colleges</p>
<p>I was waitlisted to Villanova. Not getting scholarships sucks though and I think I was a good candidate. I’m applying rolling admissions somewhere else because I have no acceptances. </p>
<p>So is it absolutely written in stone that those students who come off the waitlist will not get any merit or financial need scholarship/grants? Is it zero aid or just very, very limited?</p>
<p>all their financial aid is gone, and they would not give merit scholarships to waitlist students</p>
<p>So what happens to the financial aid/ scholarship money offered students who are accepted, but choose not to attend Villanova. Does Villanova keep that money rather than offering it to students who come off the waitlist? So even if a student’s Estimated Family Contribution is only $20K-$30K, he/she will still receive $0 off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I can’t speak specifically for Villanova but our experience with S-2011 was that when the waitlist schools call with an offer, they will also have your FA package available at the same time or it will be emailed to you within a day or two as long as all of your FA paperwork (FAFSA and CSS, etc.) were submitted on time. Most school that are offering waitlist spots will start calling and/or emailing a few days after the 1st as they have to finalize their headcounts and then determine how they will fill or balance their new class. The experience in 2011 was that if you got an offer, you had from 2 or 3 days to a week to accept or decline, again, depending on the school.</p>
<p>To smileyxoxo22, last year Villanova accepted 20 percent of wait listed students. Two years ago, they accepted 16 percent from their wait list. I hope this helps!</p>
<p>To whoever said that Villanova gives no financial aid to waitlisted students… I got off the waitlist here last year and currently attend and I also receive financial aid. Believe me, the wait is worth it. last year I got off mid-May… around May 12th.</p>
<p>@villanova37 what major are you and when did you find out ?</p>
<p>I got a call last night at 7 PM as well. Accepted. I recieved a generous package from University of Maryland Honor’s Program. Just not sure whether the return on investment is there for Villanova. Quarter of a million dollars for 4 years of school. It is getting insane. Perhaps this is a healthy rationalization as I was admittedly peaved about gettting waitlisted to start with - 2190 SAT and 3.75 unweighted. Strong record of community service. So, yeah, I was also smitten.</p>
<p>In any event, I respectfully declined. Terp!</p>
