I had an interview with an admissions officer - not a sure fire way to get accepted, but it definately makes an impression. As long as that impression is a polite, intelligent representation of yourself, no worries. I was also very involved in community service and school groups.

I did alot of work (i.e. having a job, being in a lot of clubs, and partaking in sports) in HS and had high SATs, but dont waste your time, dont even try to get in, go some place which has all the multifaceted qualities of a college and not a prison like this place is.

go to a feeder school, have your parents donate tons of money if you get rejected, be a "full pay student"... or actually be genuinely smart and get in on your own accord

The number one thing for me, because I was wait-listed, it TELL THEM YOU WANT TO GO. Tell them that you will FOR SURE attend if they accept you. Admissions is entirely a numbers game. If they can count on your slot they will be more likely to accept you, or in my case, take you off the wait list.

The university prides itself on community service ang giving back to the community in some way - much like that of St. Thomas of Villanova. Thus if you were to highlight some service in your extra curricular activities, it may set you apart.

Keep the GPA up.This school is getting a very good reputation and it is a lot harder to get into these days. In fact, 2006 class had 13,000 application for 1600 spots. It looks like they take 400 students for each of the 4 colleges.
Get involved in high school. This university likes a student who has participated in lots of extra activities.
In fact, Villanova is the only university, that we applied to, that asks for a separate activity page. This is the way the school get students who like to be active in a postive way .
Villanova also asks for a second essay dealing with the Augustian philosphy of caring and giving.This is the way they are and it really shows.
Now that the School of Business has been ranked so high on the list , make a game plan of what you want, market yourself well and good luck. If you get in ,you will be very happy. What's not to like with this school
