Hi everyone, I've been really interested in applying to Villanova University lately, but I'm not exactly sure if they have an Early Action (EA) program. If they do, when is the deadline for that application? I appreciate any help you can give!
Villanova University does indeed offer an Early Action (EA) program, and the deadline to apply through this option is usually November 1st. If you submit your application by this date, you can expect to receive a decision by January 20th.
If you're especially interested in Villanova, you could also consider their Early Decision (ED) program, which also has a deadline of November 1st and will notify you by December 15th. Do be aware that ED is a binding commitment, so you're obligated to attend Villanova if accepted, but in addition to hearing back earlier you also receive a slight boost to your chances of acceptance due to your high level of demonstrated excitement about the school. So, if you ultimately decide Villanova is far and away your top choice, applying ED might make even more sense than applying EA.
Best of luck with your application to Villanova!
