[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are full pay anywhere. We found that with our kids' stats, they got merit at schools more in the T80 range and chose to attend those schools over full pay at U Roch, though we would have paid for U Roch if they had wanted to go. Rejected from Villanova a few yrs ago, but with 3.5/1500.

I admit I do not understand why Villanova wouldn't take a 3.9/1480 ED full pay, and that is the frustration of the opaque admissions process, we just don't know the reason. The 3.9 should have been enough. BC and Villanova are looking for top grades moreso than scores, close to 4.0 unweighted. Large chunk admitted without scores at BC, not sure about Villanova.[/quote]

That was my kid ... I will say that coming from his small school, there is one student who got in ED1 - female, psych major (my kid applied to Business). She had an UW 4.0 but weighted was not much higher - no rigor whatsoever (e.g., now as a senior she is in standard precalc, no AP sciences ever, and no AP language.) Legacy and test optional. In the EA round that was just released, literally no one from the class (at least 5 kids applied) was accepted. Perhaps Villanova doesn't like our high school? I dunno. Thankfully my son has moved on mentally/emotionally. [/quote]
