@greenfrogmemes oh i didnt know that that was a thing. I sent some updated information to duke on monday, but never got an email back. Could this be due to something like ivy blackout?
@mjmthesecond Well Duke isnāt Ivy League, so most likely not
@collegeishard225 okay i know that they arent ivy league but know that they are just as competitive so I was wondering if they may do something similar
how much value/emphasis does brown place on applicants having research experience in high school? would not having it mean that you have no chance? does having experience give you a big boost?
^ biomedical for plme/premed
@ashley676 research experience is definitely not a requirement, tons of people get in without
I dont think it undermines your application if you donāt have research experience, yet Iād say it could serve you quite well if you have some worth-mentioning lab experience. @ashley676
No, not always there for us. We can enter portal, click on fin aid link (that was always there). At that point, there were several tabs, but āloansā tab is new. I suspect it is universal, but curious about that. Does anyone else show it?
Also, when we go through portal, then click through fin aidā¦ and follow through undergraduate studentsā¦ any further tab has name, a number with a B in front of it, and current date/time. All Banner web IDs begin with B.
I think this means there is lots going on behind the scenes. Getting closer now. Not putting weight on it, but def think it shows progress is being made!
Does anyone else see changes happening online?
OK I came here to say that their email gave me a freaking HEART ATTACK.
@mhop72 When you are in the Financial Aid tab, there are 5 links: Requirements, Current Award Information, Financial Aid Messages, Accept Loan Offers, and Upload Financial Aid Documents. Iām not sure if all of those links were there before. You keep refering to a loans ātab.ā I donāt have a tab. When I go into the Financial Aid link from the home page, I get 3 tabs: Personal Information, Student, and Financial Aid. Fun thing is you can poke around and actually go through the process of picking classes for the Fall. Interesting to read about the different courses.
@mhop72 yes! except loan offers was not there with the other 3 links, and donāt remember a course selection link either. I do have a B and # but never noticed before. :-? the email freaked me out too!!!
@apdns19 -correction 5 links, they did update everything. Before I donāt remember access to all the courses.
The course selection was always there but I never clicked on the link until today. Something to pass the timeā¦
@sciencenerd123 hah same. itās almost D-Day boys! Letās make the end memorableā¦
@mhop72 hmm I did have the accept loan at least for the last week because I was like a hawk on my portal looking for any sign, but I never saw the brown banner id thing. Is this new? Can someone confirm if everyone has it?
I donāt know if the B-number IS Banner ID, but I do know that banner IDs look like that.
I do not know if it was always there, and I overlooked it, or if it is new. I would like to know if everyone has one.
The B-number is a B with 8 numbers after it, correct?
I would have to go check again. I think it is seven digits? Do you have it also?
For those who have the ācourses at Brownā student link. Up until today, that link brought us to summer at brown and other public info. It is now allowing us to search Brown catalog. Does everyone now have this also?
Interesting and fun and lots of updates, but, itās bad though, because it gets your hopes and expectations up. Thatās a worry!
@mhop72 I can search the catalog too. Itās probably the same for everyone
Yes, the B followed by 8 numerical characters is the Banner ID.
