What are my chances of getting into Villanova University? (5th legacy)

<p>So Villanova has been my dream school for years and I wanted to know my chances of getting accepted to the college of arts and sciences. I want to see the reality in my situation, so I can be prepared for March 27...when I find out. </p>

<p>So I am an upper/middle class white female. Two uncles, an aunt, and my father attended Villanova (I hope to continue the legacy). I have a GPA of 3.52 (I came from a small, easy catholic school grades 1-8 to a big high school), I took honors English and AP psych. My SAT scores are: 500 math, 540 CR, and 620 writing. I am captain of the cross country team and have been running for four years, ran spring track for three, winter track for two, vice president of the italian club (4 years), show director of broadcast journalism (highest position), peer minister and retreat rector at my church (4 years, and very active in my church community), transition leader to help freshman integrate to the school, and a member of the school choir for four years. I am confirmed and have done much volunteer work at my church as well as with events and for people in my town who need help. Over the summer I work as a full-time counselor at a YMCA camp. I work for my dad as a a paid accountant's assistant on days off from school, and I also work as a volunteer assistant at my mom's job. Prior to being a counselor at the Y, I worked at my aunt's daycare as well as a volunteer counselor and counselor in training for 4 years. I think this shows leadership. Please let me know, what you think my chances are and what I should really expect Villanova's admission decision to be. Right now it looks like Seton Hall and Quinnipiac are my only options. Any thoughts regarding that as well? Thanks, your help will be greatly appreciated, and be nice please.</p>

<p>Check the Villanova board...but your SATs are pretty low for 'Nova. Your leadership combined with legacy may help you, but I'd still say it's a reach for you.</p>

<p>I'm sorry if this comes off mean, but you have very little chance.</p>

<p>Legacy will only help a little. You scores and your GPA are low. But you seem to have strong extra curricular. You have some chance.</p>

<p>Hi, it's the original writer of this post! I found out today that I got waitlisted to Villanova, so I hope there's still some hope. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can go about expressing my interest strongly to the Office of Undergrad Admissions?</p>
