Hello,
Wondering about the acceptance rate for EA vs RD? Typically, they are similiar but ive read that Villanova defers most ea applicants? Is this true?
Thank you!
DD loves this school hoping for scholarship
Hi -do students applying Ed 1 submit first quarter grades?
We did not two years ago.
Could someone explain to me what is happening with the Villanova Cabrini Campus, particularly for nursing students? It looks to be about 2 miles from the main campus. Will the entire nursing program be moving over there? We visited last spring, and it was not mentioned at all…
Interesting! Thanks for mentioning. You’ve probably seen this, but this site mentions “dedicated nursing simulation space” and lists Fitzpatrick College of Nursing Graduate Programs as one those to make this campus their new home. So maybe nursing undergrads stay on the main campus?

That’s what I am hoping to confirm. We toured the (main campus ) nursing building when we visited and it looked relatively new and well appointed. I can’t imagine it will go unused! I did see that dorms opening on the Cabrini campus are for sophomores and maybe juniors. It also looks like the new campus will be accompanied by an increase in enrollment…
Current parent but not nursing. My understanding is there will be graduate nursing programs on Cabrini, along with some other departments. Most sophomores (current freshmen) will live on Cabrini and the university will invest in more shuttles. I cannot imagine any juniors choosing to live there. And while I hear the current freshmen are mostly not thrilled about it, I think it will be ok since most will be in one place. They gave a whole presentation on Cabrini plans at parents weekend…but I didn’t go
They also recently acquired Rosemont college and I’m not sure what the plans are for that, but the location is better than Cabrini. It’s a little closer (1 mile) and a lot more walkable to the area students like to hang out. I don’t think that is opening until 2028.
Hi! My DD applied ED1 for civil engineering. She absolutely loves Villanova! I just saw in 2 other discussion threads that there was a town hall the other day at Villanova where the students were told that the amount of applicants for this year’s ED1 and EA was extremely high. I assumed this would be a higher than normal year for applications due to the Pope but I didn’t think it would be in the ED1/EA round as much. Anyone else hear about this? And any thoughts about it?
I heard the same from my kid who is a sophomore. I would say I definitely expected an increase in EA…almost everyone applies EA anyway so that’s where I would expect to see the increase. But having said that I think last year they had something like 1500 ED1 and 16000 EA…and I heard this year the total for ED1 and EA is almost 24K…which would be something like a 40 percent increase!

Does Villanova give out Merit Scholarships at the time of acceptance? And if not how long after acceptance do they usually come out?
If you are invited to apply for the Presidential scholarship, the invitation will be in your acceptance letter for ED II, EA and RD…but not for ED1. For ED1 who are invited to apply, they will get the invitation later. Villanova has limited other scholarships and I’m not sure on those.
