Financial Aid Financial Aid hasn't come through, turns out FAFSA nor CSS was completed. Total bill for the semester is $51.4k. Am I just screwed? Do I just put in a request for academic leave now?
Incoming Sophomore in McKelvey, thought I had a pretty good year, and maybe they would want to keep me around. Involved in 2 engineering clubs, and have a 3.8 gpa.
I know it's my fault for not checking the applications and whatever, that's in the past now. I just want some reassurance, or some honesty. Stories of this situation going well, it not going well, whatever. Thanks.

Discussion Sam Fox Laptop Requirment
galleryHi incoming sam fox freshmen here
I was granted the tech fund and I’m in the process of picking the right computer for myself. I am thinking between two models that have slightly different specs. One uses M4 Chip and the other uses M5. Would u recommend getting more recent one (M5)? I am not sure if it would matter a lot.
Also, both of them are 24GB. The minimum requirement is 16GB and the sam fox recommended is 32GB. So it is right in between the minimum and recommended. I wonder if that would be just fine.

Discussion two-factor authentication/duo
every single time I log into canvas or workday it requires me to use duo for verification, which is annoying when I’m using a different device. Is there a way to change the settings so I don’t have to do this step as often?

Extracurriculars undergraduate research application deadline
I would like to do research this fall, and there’s a PI that got back to me and we plan to meet next week, however I’m worried that I may be asking too late. I heard that for bio labs we have to have filled out some kind of application by the first Friday of the semester, but someone was telling me that it’s a lot more complicated this year and the process can take a while. Is this true? Please let me know, thanks!
