do you think its a bad sign
No. It just means they took it down. @neutopschool
It was probably a mistake and took it down.
It is so hard to be patient, myself included, but I hope everyone remains optimistic. Don’t put a lot of weight in to all of the differences in everyones portals. There is a lot of info on all of us and our apps all contain very different details, especially when it comes to financial aid. Seriously, a lot of prayers for all of us. I’m probably going to have to throw in some yoga and meditation too. 
@acron611 so do you think it doesn’t mean anything
Also, Nova replied to a comment on insta that financial aid will not come with our decisions. It will be sent before March is over.
I got in EA 30 ACT 1380 SAT with lots of clubs, APs, volunteering and one varsity sport. Financial aid does come out April 1st on the portal. I am barely top 10% of a medium school in New Jersey and have an UW GPA of 92.5 and 95 weighted if that helps for comparison.
@neutopschool It doesnt mean anything that it disappeared. If you got it, I think that means that you will be accepted but if you dont get it, doesn’t mean anything.
@acron611 okay thanks, i did have it until it got taken down today
@acron611 Yes, but I have not received any from any schools I’ve been accepted to
Can’t wait to hear back. 9 AP’s, 29 ACT, 4.2 W GPA and 3 sport V athlete with volunteership in the community. It’s a shame that Nova lost 2nd round though 
My guess is that if you had that link you a) applied for financial aid and b) are likely getting an offer. I think they took that down based on all the speculation it has caused as it may have tipped their hand. Only way to know for sure is to wait until Thursday. Fingers crossed.
I’m not so sure why people are saying “oh if you had a link it probably means you’re accepted, but if you didn’t have it then it doesn’t mean anything”
It can’t mean something and not mean something at the same time, but I digress.
Just ready for decisions to come out!
I didn’t get it and I’m an international student. Does anyone know?
if i didn’t apply for financial aid, should i still have the link?
I feel like the fact Villanova actually got rid of that tab actually helps strengthen the case that students with the tab got in. Why would they get rid of it? I don’t know, maybe i’m over-speculating.
I don’t know what the deal is with this fin aid link, but decisions are coming out this Thursday, March 23 after 5PM. Good luck!
@c011e9e The link is likely for loan counseling. If you applied for financial aid and a loan is part of your package offer, then you’d be required to complete this review (I believe it is federally mandated). If you did not apply for financial aid and, therefore, you aren’t going to be taking out a loan, then you probably shouldn’t have that link, even if you are accepted. However, if you did apply for financial aid and were denied, you probably wouldn’t have that link either since they already know who will and who won’t get acceptances. So, that is the argument. This is total speculation to whittle the time away while we wait for the decision.
My portal says decisions will be released after 5:00 pm ET, VU social media says 5:30 pm ET. Every 30 minutes is valuable and precious to me! I’m praying for 5:00 pm!!! Can I get an Amen?!? Alright…back to Calc. 
@Villanova2021 it will be 5:30. The portal just says by 5:00.
solution: check at 5:30
