If I were you I would contact a transfer admissions rep from villanova and briefly explain your situation in terms of the weight the will put on your high school experience and current gpa and see what they advise. You could also apply for the fall 09 and then if you are rejected continue with the curriculum and apply again.



That sounds like a good idea. Since their transfer students are evaluated by the department/college that is being applied to, I’ll e-mail the business school and see what they advise. I also found this in their FAQ section:

"If I did poorly in high school or on my SAT or ACT, but I am doing well at another college or university, will I still be considered?

While Villanova believes that the best indicator of success is a student’s present performance, we do consider high school records and test scores when making our decisions."

I guess it’s reassuring that the most emphasis is placed on current performance but I still worry if one semester is enough.



Nova is obviously a great school, but it’s hard to beat Temple biz with in state tuition.



Yeah the in state tuition is great.
