Banner is the system we use to register for courses, apply for financial aid etc. If you applied for aid, the link should be in your portal. Iā€™m not certain about IDOC, but youā€™ll probably receive an email from Brown or the College Board.

I got an IDOC request, but how do you know itā€™s from Brown?

65

If Brown is one of the Institutions Requesting Documents in your IDOC

66

Yeah, but I got the email and logged into IDOC but it isnā€™t telling me which college is requesting it. It just says ā€œa collegeā€.

67

does anyone get an email from brown to double-check the status of the application and that we would not see the checklist on March 30?

I did

69

Yup. My son got it

70

Yes, did as well. Interesting email!

71

My son did.

72

Uh oh, what does it mean if you didnā€™t get the email?

73

Probably just messed up your email? Couldnā€™t imagine this many people got it and itā€™s an indicator of admission.

74

Thanks, my daughter has gotten other emails, so they definitely have her email address, but she did not get whatever this one was. Lol, oh well. Trying to figure out what admissions offices are doing and what it all means is exhausting. Weā€™ll find out on April 6th.

75

It just says to make sure any outstanding requests in the portal are completed since it will shut down on 3/30. Iā€™m sure youā€™ll get an email tomorrow.

76

Thanks! With the week weā€™ve had I am reading too much into everything. Just wake me up on April 7th and tell me how it all worked out, lol. Thatā€™s pretty much where I am at in this journey at this point. Emotionally. Done.

@rarz69 LOL. virtual parent hugs!! Weā€™ve also had a roller coaster from UCSD conspiracy portal to Vanderbilt calendar access to todayā€™s Berkeleyā€™s portal thing. I want to be able to stop interpreting every single detail. Iā€™m becoming that annoying girlfriend who analyzes every single small detail. HAHA.

I feel similar. Itā€™s been such a long process. My daughter applied ED to Brown (deferred) and it seems like forever ago that she logged in to get that decision. So much has happened since then. She is only waiting on Brown and one other. April 6th seems so far away. I feel like weā€™ll need to celebrate regardless with a champagne breakfast on April 7th!

It might just be an error with the system or have went into spam or something. I was deferred ED last year and received the same email before decisions released both times IIRC, it doesnā€™t mean anything.

Do you think if another student from your kidā€™s school got in ED (not near the credentials), that it would affect your kidā€™s chances?

81

I think it would be a positive indicator.
Bc Brown clearly feels their high school curriculum, etc is meaningful.
