My kis’s Catholic hs sends closer to 1 every 5 years last time I checked naviance. It’s harder to get into than you think.


It’s likely that your Catholic HS doesn’t have a relationship with Villanova then. There are HS’s that will send multiple to BC, Villanova, several to Fairfield and a handful to Georgetown and ND. Every Single. Year.

UVA ranked in the 20s. V ranked in the 50s. So there’s that.



Villanova is also Catholic

One thing to keep in mind is that in the application process, Villanova is a direct admit, unlike UVA.

Nova is 70% white

6% Asian

5% black

Very few Jews

It’s night and day from Penn

There isn’t much if any overlap with Penn

Nova isn’t really a safety even for high stats kids - they are very good at knowing who fits in on campus and op’s kid isn’t it

Your son is a total nerd who gets beat up in the locker room if he’s never heard of Villanova.

+1 It’s become an even harder admit.
