In honor of Early Action Candidates’ Weekend, the Curious ‘Cat asks Villanova students, “What advice would you give to an early action candidate?”

Amy Vera – “I would say talk to the students. We all have different experiences, but we all have one thing in common: that we really love Villanova or else we wouldn’t be here.”

Michael Medina – “I would attend outside-of-class things, like seminars or presentations offered. It would give you a feel of what the values of the university are and you’d know whether those line up with your personal values.”

Natalie Garinther – “I would say to talk to the students because that’s the best way to figure out what the students are like. There were a lot of students sitting in on classes this morning, and that’s a good way to figure out what class sizes would be and how teachers interact with us.”

Rebecca Walters – “I sat in on an acapella rehearsal before I came, so maybe sit in on extracurricular activities. That would be my advice: ask people about their extracurriculars.”

Alison Mabery – “Look at a club you wouldn’t normally be interested in!”

Vivek Mohan -“I would say to try to sit in on classes to just get a good feel of how it is. I know class size is a big factor for a lot of people, and Villanova has a good class size.”
