Admission to Villanova is highly competitive. If you have a strong academic background and a wide variety of interests, and if you are motivated to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual environment of our University community, then we encourage you to apply.*

You should plan to take the SAT no later than December of your senior year and have the results sent directly to the Office of University Admission by the College Board or ACT. (ACT scores will be accepted in addition to or in place of the SAT).

The Committee on Admission will carefully consider your credentials and inform you of a decision by April 1. If you are admitted and plan to enroll, you must have your nonrefundable registration deposit of $700 to the Office of University Admission postmarked no later than May 1, 2008.

*Admission criteria may vary slightly contingent upon the college and academic program to which the candidate applies.

The above applies to prospective first-year students. If you are a Transfer Student, please visit Admission Overview for Transfer Students.
