do u think this will work to see if we are accepted?

<p>Meh. Not nearly as harmful as it's made out to be. I'm still here, aren't I?</p>

22

<p>But logging-in intentionally AFTER the NYU official said NOT to do it?</p>

23

<p>We should not try anyways.</p>

<p>But, if NYU really didnt want students to do this, then they should at least prompt a warning pop up or something...Or they should just change the method of accessing into that information--such as an alternate pin that you get after you are admitted.</p>

24

<p>I got in ED but um I'm not even going near that site until I get the go-ahead from NYU.</p>

25

<p>Of course that doesn't mean I'm not tempted.....I'm very tempted.</p>

26

<p>Am I telling you to login? Stop jumping to conclusions, buddy.</p>

27

<p>You're the one jumping to conclusions....did I SAY you told me to login?</p>

28

<p>"Don't click it. Yes I'm tempted. The thing about the harvard business school admissions is the EXACT same as this. A guy found a loophole (a string the could be changed in the URL) that allowed him to view his decision a few hours early. Posted in forum. A handful of other people tried and all got their decisions revoked too."</p>

<p>That's unbelievable. And probably not real. Why would Harvard revoke smart kids...</p>

<p>Totally agree, cj1989 !</p>

30

<p>What makes you say I'm "jumping to conclusions"?</p>

31

<p>You can't get in trouble considering there is no warning whatsoever on the site saying to not click on it if you are prospective student</p>

32

<p>coot - yes what I said is what happened.</p>

<p>Actual story: <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18798-2005Mar8.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18798-2005Mar8.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Details of what the school considered "hacking":
<a href="http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/index.php?p=780%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/index.php?p=780&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"but a student who was logged in to the site could access his/her letter by constructing a special URL. "</p>

<p>The only difference was their wasn't a link to this on harvard's website, but they didn't really "hack" they simply changed a URL string.</p>

33

<p>Revoking acceptances would be an asinine thing to do. With the help of Google you can find the site in a flash (search: "ITS NYU" and go through the NYU site). You could merely be looking at information about their internet connections and stumble upon it.</p>

34

<p>what's the problem with you people? You can't wait a few days for your admissions to come? stop worrying, because taking your mind off of all these things will make time pass faster, and do something productive instead.</p>

35

<p>"do something productive instead" says ihavenolife</p>

<p>lol no offense or anything. I just thought that was really funny</p>

36

<p>lololololol I discovered this 2 years ago</p>

37

<p>aaron12345: Ouch. Proved me wrong. That's still really stupid. Nothing wrong with overanxious students...</p>

<p>There you go, buddy.</p>

39

<p>What do you mean, "there you go". I didn't say I was logging in.</p>

40

<p>You implied that I advocated the idea of logging in.</p>
