Thanks for your support, I graduated from Kansas University (KU) August 2007. My total GPA is 3.0 but my pre-requiests GPA is 3.36. You're right on Organic esp Organic II, lol. Well, hopefully we both get it in. I really want to go to Villanova as well, I love the school, and the state. Can't wait till Monday, counting min. :)

For everyone wondering about the interview- I had mine a few weeks ago with Maryanne Lieb. It was 45 minutes long, and she was so nice and helpful! She really just wanted to get to know me and asked general questions. We looked through my transcripts to see what I still need for the program, etc. It was informal, so do not worry about it! There were no tricky/stressful questions.

So the interview is informal? Does everyone who applies to the program get an interview or is it just the better candidates? I need to schedule an interview but I don't want to get excited unless there is something to get excited back. I hope it is for possible candidates cause other than that wouldn't it be a waste of (their)time to interview all whom apply?

Actually, they interview everyone who applied. I just got excepted to the program for May 2010, so excited.

Thank you so much, I'm very excited. I knew i was in, i just had this feeling so I emailled them and asked if they can send me an early decesion letter since I got excepted to 2 other schools and they said they will. She emailled me on Friday saying I'm in, and they will sent me my letter very soon!!!

Congratulations! Can I ask when you interviewed? Mine was about a month ago and I was told I should hear before December (but I'm not sure exactly how much earlier so I've been pretty anxious). Thanks!

Also where else did you hear back from? Are you going to send the deposit in from Villanova? I hope I hear soon!

Hi,

I emailed Villanova a couple of weeks ago and they said we would be notified by January 1st. I thought that during my interview I was told we would hear by late October, but I guess I was wrong. I interviewed in July, so it has been a lonnng wait. I am really anxious to hear back!

mona82 · Nov 7, 2009

My interview was on Oct 12th. I got to Slu too, which is only 12 mo. Villanova just told me that I should receive my package in 2 weeks, than I'll sent my deposit to them. They'll start sending letters in Dec, so don't worry about it too much.

Anyone have ideas about the availability and cost of off campus housing near Villanova?

HopefulABSN10 · Nov 19, 2009

In my interview I was told that housing in Villanova is very expensive (mostly family style houses) but in the town over which is very close there are a variety of good places to live for students. Has anyone heard anything yet regarding admissions decisions?
