Would I have a good or slim chance of getting into Villanova?

<p>My whole life I've been a great student. I've always overachieved and got very high grades. I've gone to Catholic School my whole life so my grades are in percentiles. </p>

<p>Freshman year: 97 overall average
sophomore year: 91 overall average
junior year: 91.2 overall average
senior year: N/A
Overall I am cumulatively ranked 20 out of 288 students. </p>

<p>My SAT results are:
590 Critical Reading
510 Math
500 Writing (have not taken ACT's yet.)
I've always struggled with standardized tests, but I've taken honors classes every year, and I'm taking 3 AP classes this year. (AP Biology, AP Psychology, and AP History.)</p>

<p>I'm very involved in community service doing about 60 hours a year not including my service clubs. I am Vice President of National Honors Society, and Lead officer of Junior AOH. Also I am involved in baseball for my community. I also have a job that I just recently started. Being this involved, and having high grades, will I get into Villanova even though my SAT scores arent high?</p>

<p>I don’t like chancing, but I’d say your chances are slim to none at the moment, as you’re well below the low accepted SAT score. Retake the SATs if you can, and definitely try the ACT. Hopefully someone else will be able to comment on how much weight Villanova places on ECs. Definitely make sure you have some safety schools, but if you can pull up your scores, you should have a chance. :slight_smile: Check out the Villanova subforum on here to talk to others applying there, and to check out the median stats for the school.</p>
