Two Questions: Teacher Recs and Fin Aid

<p>I'm thinking about applying RD but I got two quick questions:</p>

<p>1) Do you need teacher recs? would it be okay to apply without any? I would think you do but the checklist here:
Villanova</a> University: Application Requirements
does not say anything about them.</p>

<p>2)Also, exactly how decent is the financial aid? My EFC is about 16K, but I would need at least 30K to even consider going here over my other option: UW Madison. I heard that financial aid isn't the greatest at Nova, so what could I expect to get with my EFC and stats of a 32 ACT and a 3.9UW GPA?</p>

<p>yes. no, definitely send some recs. i got around there w/ EFC and you’re just gonna have to find a way to pay for this school a ton of kids would kill to go here so you just have to decide if and when this happens, what you’re willing to do. if you’re willing to carry the burden of this debt…</p>

<p>those are decent if you’re an URM. lot of kids i know are paying full price tho…</p>
