Villanova’s Admission staff takes pride in our multifaceted and holistic application review process. The Admission Committee reviews a variety of factors when considering a candidate for admission including high school performance, strength of academic curriculum, standardized test scores, application essays, extracurricular activities, counselor recommendation and teacher recommendation.

- Have the results of your standardized test (SAT or ACT) reported electronically to the Office of University Admission by the College Board or ACT. Please note that SAT/ACTs must be taken no later than October of the senior year for any November 1 deadline and no later than December of the senior year for Regular Decision.
- All non-native English speakers are required to submit either official TOEFL or IELTS results.
