How is Villanova's economics department?

<p>my GPA is 3.5 UW.
3.8 weighted.
SAT Math: 690.
SAT CR: 630
total SAT: 1940
i’m confident in my ec’s and my essay writing skills. i’ve been taking honors classes all 4 years of high school and i’m going to take AP classes this coming senior year (because that’s the only time my school offers them)</p>

<p>do i have a decent chance of getting in if i apply through early action or early decision? i live out of state. </p>

<p>i want to major in economics, minor in math, and take pre-med electives. in case i don’t get into med school, i want to have a good back up opportunity for an MBA.
so how well known and respected is villanova’s economics and/or business program? would it provide me with good job opportunities/pay before my MBA?</p>
