<p>I applied to Villanova and I love the school. I've got a lot of great things going for me that will increase my chances even though my scores are a little on the low side. I got a 1200 SAT and a 3.36 (85) GPA. My essay was outstanding and I got 2 great recs. from teachers, a great rec. from my priest and an amazing rec. from a family friend who is an alumni. Anyway, based soley on my scores and ec's, do YOU think I have a shot??
EC's:
Wrestling (10-12)
Ski Club (11,12)
Church Youth Group (9-12, president)
PA Math League (10-12)
Cultural Diversity (9,10)
Exceptional guitar player, have been giving private lessons for almost 5 years teaching about 20-25 students within that time</p>
<p>buuuummmmppp</p>
<p>bump bump...</p>
<p>You have a shot but your GPA is on the low side for Villanova. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Exceptional guitar player? We should chat sometime... What is your email address? I also play the guitar (and the violin as well). I sent in a demo w/all my apps.</p>
<p>What kind of music do you listen to? I'm really into prog. rock, neoclassical metal, and jazz/fusion.</p>
<p>if you mentionted taht you are teachign 20 kids guitar at this point in your life, I think the admissions department will be very impressed.</p>
<p>PA math league isn't an EC...is it?</p>
<p>i think villanova is a reach but maybe not.... you are one of the people completely on the edge</p>
<p>u guys are great!! anyone else?</p>
<p>What weight do you wrestle at? I wrestle anywhere from 119 - 130.</p>

<p>What type of neo-classical stuff?
I'm big into like the folk/power metal scene (some could be considered neo-classical, I guess), but I'll also listen to Yngwie Malmsteen and Rusty Cooley occassionally for inspiration.
I didn't apply to Villanova, and I don't want to get this thread off-topic, but I think you have a great shot. I had a lot of friends with lower grades get in early.</p>
<p>I wrestle usually 160 or 171....what school do u go to?</p>
<p>Lawrence High School on Long Island</p>
<p>Have you applied to college? If so, do you plan on wrestling there?</p>
<p>Yeah I'm applying this year and No im not good enough to wrestle in college. I only joined last year so I'm not experienced enough.</p>
<p>yea go wrestling.. im a wrestler too but i go 103-112 (yea im a small guy)</p>
<p>nice. how long have you been wrestling?</p>
<p>started my freshman year so this is my 4th.. im varsity but only cuz my team sucks =(</p>
<p>That's cool. Yeah, at my school, my weight class is actually pretty tough, but somehow I managed to pick up a Varsity spot. Any of you guys wrestle at the Beast of the East???</p>
<p>no what is that?</p>
