Acceptance Letter Mistake!

<p>Well, maybe (if the code remains intact) gianievve will have mercy on us and reward our valiant effort by self-cracking the code. Our Welsh (?) friend is definitely a cagey one. ;)</p>

<p>;) .</p>

<p>[She opts to prove my point.]</p>

<p>We love you, Gianievve, even though we haven't a clue who/where/what you are! :)</p>

<p>Love y'all! :*</p>

<p>hey kat - pm me your new yahoo id (it got lost :()</p>

<p>gianievve...you never answered my question.</p>

<p>Are you guys sure the signatures are original? I thought they're copies.</p>

<p>Mine sure looks original - you can tell variants in the pen and stuff.</p>

<p>You can feel it on the other side, and see the way the paper isn't perfectly smooth exactly behind the signature and 'Congratulations' at the bottom.</p>

<p>She only had to sign a few hundred letters... not that hard.</p>

<p>What's embarrassing is Rumsfeld '54 not signing our troop's death letters.</p>

<p>And that is so right on topic.</p>

<p>"how could you have your princeton decision already if you applied to yale EA? Why would the dean of Princeton be rescinding your admission now if you didnt apply ED to princeton? im confused..."</p>

<p>Haha, I thought Princeton was done with admissions scams and low-down cheating. Didn't they hack into Yale's system and spy on applicants who applied to Yale? They took people's social security numbers and logged into Yale's admissions website just to see if the people who applied to Princeton were accepted to Yale. HAHAHA, they are doing it again! This time, they made a huge mistake. </p>

<p>Ah Princeton.......always trying to cheat off of Yale.

<p>"Yale General Counsel Dorothy Robinson said the University considers Princeton's actions an abuse of the private information students provided on their applications, a violation of Yale's computer network, and possibly a breach of several criminal statutes. Robinson said the University will consult law enforcement officials Thursday and notify all the affected applicants of Princeton's actions"</p>

<p>Even more disturbing is that the Princeton log-ins may also have interfered with the ability of Yale applicants to check whether they had gained admission because the site only allows students to view their admissions decision on the first log-in. <a href="http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/07/25/yale.princeton/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/07/25/yale.princeton/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>...</p>

<p>yeah, that article was from two-and-a-half years ago. And I thought we'd all come to the consensus that the current "crisis" was bunk.</p>

<p>"What's embarrassing is Rumsfeld '54 not signing our troop's death letters."</p>

<p>haha! Oh, man. You are naive if you think that every politician in Washington does not use an autopen. I can't believe people are so out of things to complain about that they are complaining about autopens...</p>

I've been aware of that since the my 6th grade class received autopenned letters back from Clinton. I just wasn't aware that he didn't make an exception for those letters, considering their importance.</p>

<p>okytdy, No you wouldn't.</p>

<p>and what about all the people who died in Vietnam? all the people who died in the Bosnian conflict? in the Gulf War? you think all their letters were signed personally? </p>

<p>no. absolutely not.</p>

<p>Thanks for reminding me of the obvious. I just find it rather sad that they use pen machines, even if that has been the historical trend.</p>

<p>What is an autopen? When they have those stamps that they just stick on the paper?</p>
