Good luck all!
Someone else recently posted the 2023-2024 common data set for Villanova and I was surprised to see the acceptance rate for RD appears to be much much higher than EA.
As actually reported
ED acceptance rate 49.5% (820/1657)
EA acceptance rate 15.4% (2266/14667)
Overall acceptance rate 25.1% (5810/23127)
RD can be figured out by subtracting ED and EA applicants and acceptances from the total
RD Applicants = 23127 - (1657+14667) = 6803
RD Acceptances = 5810 - (820+2266) = 2724
RD acceptance rate = 2724/6803 = 40%
couldnāt RD include EA applicants who were deferred in the EA round?
I would guess for sure yes but donāt really know. Impossible to know how many of the RD admits werr EA deferrals. Even so Iām kind of shocked by the dramatic difference in the admit rate.
The Withdraw Application button is gone!

Congrats! @irish2121 My one piece of advice for you and any other ED1 admits is when ED1 housing opens up jump on it immediately to get the ābestā dorm. My child (non-athlete) is there this year and itās almost all athletes.

Thank you! What dorm would you recommend?
The almost universally acknowledged ābestā dorm is Good Counsel because the rooms are slightly bigger and they have individual sinks (especially nice for girls). But to be clear the dorms are not great. And neither is the food. Ha! You have to rank three preferences and, in theory, one of your ranked preferences must not be on South Campus. (Almost all freshmen live on South Campus so it is preferred and they tell you you have to rank at least one that is not on South). Second and third choice preferences vary a lot. People have very strong opinions about Stanford dorm as either great or awful. Itās the biggest freshman dorm. If you end up getting unlucky and getting a Main Campus dorm (two of my childās friends are on main) at least you have a 5-minutes-closer-to-classes walk. And it all works out no matter what you get. But in general everyone wants Good Counsel and everyone wants to be on South. And even though Res Life tells you it doesnāt matter what time your register - it absolutely does matter. If you want Good Counsel, you need to stalk the registration site on ED1 housing registration day until they open it. I assume they normally open it in the morning but this year they āforgotā and didnāt open it until 3:30pm. Go Cats!

My daughter is in the Honors college and their dorm is Monica this year. The rooms are a little nicer than Stanford and itās quieter. She goes next door to Stanford all the time to visit friends and her boyfriend, but she likes Monica better to actually live in. I think the Honors dorms change though based on how many live in it.
She loves living on South with all the freshmen. Her friends who live on main campus as freshmen are closer but donāt have the same community feeling with freshmen.
Congrats!
