1) While I don't know how fin-aid works with admissions, Dartmouth is need blind and so I would think the two are separate in most all respects.
2) Don't think you're a dope at all because I understand your banner student confusion:
Story: My son had been working on his common app online for D for a few days and you know how you can save and log out, save and go to the next page, etc.? Well, after completing most of it, but not uploading essays and stuff yet, he got that email from Dartmouth that said his application had been received. He just about flipped out.. and more or less did.. thinking he sent his entire application in prematurely and incomplete. He was so shaken that he couldn't even type in the password to find out what they were talking about. Once we sedated him (kidding) and I logged onto his account, it merely said they had received the pre-application and looked forward to the rest of his application. Once the color returned to his face, we all had a good laugh but for about 30 minutes I thought I was going to watch an 18 year old have a heart attack.
This said, if my son were in your position, I would have him contact his counselor and have her reach out to the school. But my kid goes to a private school that's fairly small (135 in the class) and they'd do that kind of thing. Oldest D went to public and I would have had to call the territory rep myself. I dont see where Dartmouth gives that information for their admissions reps, but if you don't hear this weekend, I think they would understand the inquiry on Monday. Simply say you believe all your information was in but you had not yet received confirmation -- which is what banner student seemed to do.
