will i have a better chance of getting into villanova?


Question Posted Thursday August 19 2010, 11:05 pm

16/F
My Grandpop is an alumni, my uncle is stationed in the monastery there, and my great uncle was president of the university. There is also a dormitory building on campus named after my family (it has my last name) I'm a pretty good student, though I haven't taken my SATs yet. What I'm saying is that will any of these things help my chances of admission? Oh I'm going to be a Junior by the way lol.

The horrible truth is that, yeah, you'll probably be accepted there. Someone in the admissions process is sure to notice the name and check it out, and you'd get accepted in spite of your grades and scores.

Now, the good truth is that you can probably be accepted there because of your grades and scores.

I would hate to see you going to a college because you felt you had no other choice.

Take the PSAT or SATs as early as you can so you will be at ease about that. No one likes to admit it, but SAT prep classes can help improve your score. But don't waste the time and money until you know if you need it.

Apply to some other colleges you also like as well as V. so you'll really believe that you belong at V. and didn't sneak in the back door.

Good luck.
