<p>Too bad.</p>
<p>I was reading into the tabs tonight, when, after a couple hours, my home screen view changed a l i t t l e bit. </p>
<p>what’s new if I remember, is the “email services.” But what is the most odd is that the “B” tab is gone! Earlier in the evening, there were tabs “A-D”, but the “B” went missing.</p>
<p>This is the beginning of an exciting wait for decisions. I’ll log my experiences. Feel welcome to barge in.</p>
<p>that means nothing yet</p>
<p>Mine goes A C D E</p>
<p>I don’t believe there ever was a “B”. Based on prior years, the new letters would be “F” Financial Aid Award Notification and “P” Pay Enrollment Confirmation Fee.</p>
<p>I ama current student and many letters of the alphabet on the Agora screen. Each letter tab corresponds to links that start with that letter. Once you are an enrolled student you will have a lot of links such as for registering for housing, classes, filing work orders, viewing your classes GPA, etc. When you click a link, it eliminates all links except that one. Trust me when I say this that it means absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>When do that tabs normally begin changing for RD?</p>
<p>That happened to all of the EA kids too— means nothing.
I also got my letter about a week before my tabs changed on Agora. I’d wait for the letter , because I was one of the people who checked Agora everyday to no avail!</p>
<p>@Eshale et al</p>
<p>Yes, I, too, now have the “E” tab showing up.</p>
<p>I was told by someone who works at BC that the some of the services can have brief outage when it goes thru daily data reconciliation. The services may need to be out for a brief time are: Change BC password, Change Challenge Questions, Email Services, directory search. For example, if Email Services is temporary out, you will not see the Email Services tab.</p>

<p>I think the only important change on Agora is when you suddenly have a “pay deposit” option. I got in EA, and that’s how I found out. It was several days before I got my acceptance packet in the mail.</p>
<p>Did anyone else who had the E tab earlier not have it anymore?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t have it either.</p>
<p>phew! That made me pretty nervous as I had them earlier in the week and all if a sudden it was gone! Happy St. Paddy’s Day!</p>
<p>My bad it’s back (sorry for double post my phone won’t let me edit). I am really hoping for them to mail things by the end of the week so we hear back the beginning of next. Do you think if one was to call the admissions office they could give a general date?</p>
<p>Nah I wouldn’t count on it. They are busy this time around. Your best bet would be to search around CC and other forums to see when the tabs have changed in the past (and then report back here for everyone 
). The tabs will either change at the same time or earlier due to the 25% decrease in applications.</p>
<p>Good news for students who were deferred EA, your portals will most likely change before the RD kids. Atleast that’s what happened to my brother a few years ago, his changed a week before his letter came. As far as the agora tab changes, they are a little more subtle than you’d think. I couldn’t even tell when mine changed and thought i got rejected back in december when everyone started saying theirs changed. (I got in though, woo!) </p>
<p>Most of you guys weren’t here in december so I’ll tell you what we learned about the tabs this time around.
First of all, after 12am ET each night the email services tab disappears, that doesn’t mean anything and happens to everyone. What you want to look at is actually the applicant status page. Before the agora changes you’ll just see a checklist of your application materials, but if you get in it will change to asking you to submit your nonrefundable deposit to hold your place for admission. THATS when you know you’re in. A few days later your main dashboard page will change, and will have all of your course info and reslife application, etc. I posted some screenshots in december of the updated agora tabs but they may have been taken down by the moderators. Hope that clears up any confusion, and good luck to you all!</p>
<p>Thanks avonhcky! This wait is killing me ): I didn’t know about looking under the applicant status page before, at least I have something else to obsessively check. Do you think it’s too early for any updates now?</p>
<p>Nothing yet, but mail was postmarked on 21 March last year. Way less apps this year… Better look tomorrow evening.</p>
<p>Have they been known to send a heads up that decisions were mailed?</p>
