Hey man. So here's my situation.

I'm applying to Villanova A&S EA, with a weighted gpa of 3.96/4.00 and an ACT of 33. Not too out of the ballpark right? I'm worried because I just go deferred from Northeastern even with legacy, and with BC coming out in 30 minutes, I'm practically freaking out haha.

So basically, my Dad is a hugeee alum of Villanova. He's very good friends with the current President there, such good friends in fact that the President took the trip up to MA to baptize me when I was young. I went to the Villanova alumni mass with my Dad back in October, right when I was about to finish up my common app, and I talked to the President (Not the first time I had done this, I took a personal tour of the Villanova campus with him back in April) Oh also, my dad had a personal dinner when he talked to him about my stats and stuff, and he seemed really impressed. He said a 33 on the ACT was fantastic, and apparently he's not the type of guy to talk BS.

So at this reception thing for the mass, I was talking to him with my dad, when I asked him if I should submit my SAT (1420 but an 800 on English) or my 33 on the ACT. He said "Gadgetzan23 you have no need to worry about those scores" or something along those lines. He also stated very clearly "Gadgetzan23, as soon as you hit the submit button on the common app, I want you to shoot me an email telling me that you've submitted your application. I was dumbfounded haha. So of course, I submitted my app the next day, sent him an email, and he replied "Gadgetzan23, I will keep an eye on it for you."

So basically, I'd love to go to Villanova, even more than BC I think. Do you think he's basically telling me I'll get in there? I didn't really want to get into more specifics for the sake of length but when I visited him on campus in April, I got this same sort of vibe as well. "Well, Gadgetzan23, when you're a freshman here", or "Well, when you come here...."

Any advice? Thank you.
