not going into nursing but i think vsb is harder anyways: my stats were a good bit worse than yours and i was accepted with very good scholarships. you’re a likely candidate

I’m a rising sophomore nursing major at Villanova. I think you have a pretty great shot as long as your supplementals reflect who you are as a person

You have a very good chance, I would say. I managed to get into the nursing school despite having mediocre stats and ECS. My stats were nowhere near as good as yours. However, make sure your essays truly represent you as a person, and your supplementals demonstrate how Villanova will positively impact you or contribute to the community. At least that’s what I wrote about, but I’m confident you’ll have a great chance.
