I got a lot of money from Villanova, but I chose to go to a school where I have a full ride instead. I am a Biochemistry/ pre-med major, and the medical school acceptance rate at the school where I am going is essentially the same as Villanova’s. I still truly do believe that Villanova is an absolutely fantastic school, though.

I had a 2100 on my SATs (710 V, 660 M, 730 W), was ranked 6/278 in a very competitive high school, and had a GPA of about a 4.4 weighted. I took all honors and AP classes, and got a 5 on every AP exam I took (I only took Euro, English lit, and Spanish, though). I was really involved in high school- president of the Spanish NHS, Secretary of History Club, CCD teacher, mentor to freshmen, Chemistry Olympics, Science League, taught elementary students Spanish, tutored extensively, played in the band, etc. I was also really big on volunteering and did over 200 hours at a hospital near my house.

My essays were excellent and I visited the campus.

Also, I was invited into Villanova’s Honors Program.
