<p>I believe that Villanova will fully consider the writing portion of the SAT very soon.
The writing score was used as a secondary evaluative tool for for the first time for the applicants for Class of 2015. The reluctance of Villanova to include SAT writing was based on a lack of historical data , since the writing portion was introduced in 2005.</p>

<p>“The results of the SAT writing portion will be considered when evaluating an application. However, the SAT critical reading and math or the ACT composite will be used as the primary test indicators.”</p>
<p>The most important of academic and nonacademic factors in freshman admission decisions in the Villanova application are Class Rigor ,Class rank,Academic GPA & Standardized test scores.</p>
<p>Did you take AP or Honors courses ? Is your GPA weighted or unweighted ? Does your HS have a high school class ranking for students ? 90% of Villanova class of 2014 was in the top 25% of their HS class.</p>
<p>SAT will be critical to your application due to a 3.5 GPA, 61% of the Enrolled class of 2014 had a GPA above 3.75. Take a bunch of math practice test to get that above 650.
You will also find many Villanova students that were multi sport athletes in High School , team captaincy is a plus!</p>
<p>You have a decent shot , but no sure thing. Good luck.</p>
