<p>Well? Does anybody have any input?</p>
<p>i just recalled that last yr or the yr before last yr, around 100 MBA students hacked Stanford's online status system to find out their decisions....they all end up getting rejected....lol........</p>
<p>i highly doubt it. milk - i thought you were gonna stop freaking out?</p>
<p>Cfso, I thought it was Harvard. Anyway, you shouldn't call...they probably won't tell you but just be really annoyed and you'd be wasting your time, most likely.</p>
<p>You will almost certainly not find out. They release them online as a set time for a reason: so people don't call and bother them.</p>
<p>i thought you're hibernating till decision time milk ;)</p>
<p>there were a few schools in that MBA thing, among them harvard, stanford, i think columbia and a bunch more. All of the data was on one website, and this was hacked.</p>

Some clever person with a strong understanding of web programming had recognized a basic flaw in the security system used by a third party company employed by Harvard and other business schools to handle applications. That person recognized that one could modify a URL to see the decision that Harvard had made on ones application (but not anyone elses application).

<p>hack might be an overstatement. i think both parties are at fault. it was badly designed software that didn't protect information from being seen from a properly authenticated applicant from viewing his/her decision. the students still breached the terms and conditions of the website and therefore the school.. i still think harvard made too big a deal about it and that should not have caused automatic rejection. they let a girl into undergrad who killed her mother so i think this is less of an issue (p.s. the girl was later rescinded from Harvard but not because she killed her mother, but because she never mentioned it).</p>
