"Emory Advantage" shows up on financial aid page

<p>Did this box with "Emory Advantage" on it show up on everyone's financial aid page? It's their program for loans. It could just be a generic thing they send to everyone but my D has been accepted to two schools so far and both had changes in the financial aid pages. Or- I could just be hoping it's so in this case.</p>

<p>I don’t see it showing up. What page is it on?</p>

<p>i’ve had that for the past few weeks, although i’m not sure if it has any real meaning or not</p>

<p>Go onto your OPUS and go to the financial aid page. I think it says “Finances”. If everyone has it- then it is nothing. If not then it could mean good news but not necessarily bad news if you don’t have it.</p>

<p>Trackie10x- it wasn’t there all along was it? It “appeared” one day?</p>

<p>i really have no idea because i didn’t begin checking the financial aid part of my opus until a couple weeks ago and it was there then…</p>

<p>Does anyone not have it?</p>

<p>This is what my Finances page looks like.</p>

<p>We have it.</p>

<p>I do not and never have had the Emory Advantage option on my page. I happen to know that I am ineligible for it. The program is not just for loans, though. If you’re in the first tier of Advantage, they will replace your loans with free grants. Go to <a href=“http://www.emory.edu/FINANCIAL_AID/emory_advantage[/url]”>www.emory.edu/FINANCIAL_AID/emory_advantage</a> for more information.</p>

<p>I’m not eligible for financial aid. I’m an international student. I can still see the block.</p>

<p>Yea i think everyone has it. It’s an image on the bottom right.</p>

<p>Also have it on the bottom right. When will they update OPUS?? Sigh…</p>

<p>It is on my page and I am eligible. I don’t think it’s a sign of anything other than them perhaps being done with your financial package.</p>

<p>We’re not eligible. It’s just suspicious that it just showed up there yesterday. I wouldn’t think anything of it if it wasn’t for the two times something sort of similar has happened to us. Who knows! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I have it and I think I had seen it long ago as well.</p>

<p>It’s like that Grinnell pioneerweb issue - where the emails changed to @grinnell.edu and everyone thought that it meant they were accepted.</p>

<p>I hope the decision comes out soon.</p>

<p>It doesn’t mean anything… I didn’t apply for finaid, and it is on my finances page.</p>

<p>^Yeah, it doesn’t mean anything. It has always been there for me.</p>

<p>i don’t think it means anything… I applied for financial aid and that has been there…</p>

<p>…but this is werid…</p>

<p>A week ago, I got accepted to Oxford. I planned on visiting it, and the only link on OPUS that was there was Oxford College. I went back to that link today, and the Emory college visitation days popped up, even though there were no days there.</p>

<p>Does anybody think this is a sign. I mean, they wouldn’t tell me to visit if I didn’t get in…would they…</p>

<p>Do you have a link to pay your deposit?</p>
