I'm thinking about applying to Villanova ED2, but I'm curious about the acceptance rate. Does anyone know what the ED2 acceptance rate is for Villanova?
While Villanova University doesn't publicly release specific acceptance rates for Early Decision 2 (ED2), you can get a general idea of the acceptance rates for early applicants. In general, the overall Early Decision acceptance rate (which includes both ED1 and ED2) is typically higher than the regular decision acceptance rate.
According to a Villanova admissions representative, during the 2021 admissions cycle, the overall Early Decision acceptance rate was around 36.5%. Keep in mind that this number fluctuates from year to year and includes both ED1 and ED2 applicants.
It's important to remember that applying ED2, like ED1, is a binding commitment. If you are accepted through ED2, you are obligated to attend Villanova and withdraw any other college applications. Make sure you carefully consider factors such as financial aid and your certainty that Villanova is your top choice before applying.
Best of luck with your application!
