Brown Class of 2022 Applicants Discussion

Yes @mhop72 I remember getting you have no access to this info page and then only Summer info. Now I see the Brown catalogue too. They’re messing with us 8-}

obviously everyone can access the catalogue, but its really weird to open it for the first time and notice it says “Welcome ____ (my name)” at the top… I’m not going to read anything into it.

Everyone gets it. According to their webpage How to find your Banner ID…
Applicants: Undergraduate or Medical applicants: after you apply, you will receive an email from your respective Admission Office with your Brown ID number in order to check the status of your application.

sounds like it is universal for all…
Ah, that was a fun time!

That’s the way it was right before I got deferred! It’s the same now. Don’t read into it.

Brown ID and Banner ID are two different things.
It just adds to the mystery.

Where is the ID number? I don’t see it

@mhop72 sounds like you’re in. were you added to the directory? http://directory.brown.edu/

I do not see brown ID on the portal. I only see the B-number… it is under the “financial aid sections” which I am wondering if that is a Banner ID. (But, I know they are different numbers. ) I thought we rec’d a brown ID in an email… but looked back and cannot locate that now.

Anyway, I honestly do not recall seeing a B number on website previously, but it is certainly there now. I cannot determine if everyone has one or not.

I also cannot determine if everyone can see and browse the courses website. I know for us, it just appeared today.

I looked back at old threads and found these types of speculation discussions go on every year, which makes me think it is all meaningless =) Fun to guess though

If it’s allowing you all to go registration → actually view fall courses, I’d bet you’re accepted. Because an error message pops up for me when trying to view courses.

I haven’t applied for financial aid, and I’m not able to see any B number or anything

I would say that the admissions team is careful enough to not let any “clues” like this slip through. Even if they have, applicants would have identified these signs years ago. Deep breaths, guys. Speculating now and finding out in two weeks won’t change the decision. I’m sure you all got great news!

I can’t find myself in the student directory.

Wouldn’t you only be added to the student directory upon enrollment?

Yep, that’s what I thought.

yeah, I searched my friend who got accepted ED and he’s not in there.

I applied for financial aid and when I go to vie financial aid award for 2018-19, it says information currently not available. I can also view the fall courses, so I’m pretty sure it is universal.

@mhop72

I just check-- I am not allowed to view courses, inc. this fall. I select the different semesters and an error pops up preventing me from going forward to viewing next step. I bet it’s a signal you all are admitted. congrats!

Click “Financial Aid Status” and then “Student.” Something should pop up that says “For Summer 2016 and beyond, to search and add courses to your cart, use Brown’s new Course Search Tool - Courses@Brown.” @lizzy1234

yes, I have that “For Summer 2016 and beyond, to search and add courses to your cart, use Brown’s new Course Search Tool - Courses@Brown.”

but if I click ‘registration’ → click thru various terms, i get error messages for each one. it sounds like a few in this thread are able to click registration → select a semester → search thru catalog. i do NOT have that permission.

thus, im guessing those that do have those permissions have been admitted RD.
