<p>Premature access to Cornell University admissions link shut down; Early Decision notification available December 15.</p>

<p>On Monday, December 12, 2005, a former Cornell University applicant posted a web link on <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.collegeconfidential.com&lt;/a> providing last year’s URL to the Cornell University admissions web site’s application status system.</p>

<p>By using this link and providing their unique identifications and passwords, a small number of current Early Decision applicants were able to view information about their own applications; this information was not intended to be viewed until December 15.</p>

<p>At no time, however, were students able to access information about applications other than their own.</p>

<p>The integrity of the admissions web site has not been compromised, and therefore, no action will be taken against these students.</p>

<h2>Early Decision applicants will still be able to access decision information through the Cornell application status system on December 15 at 5:00 p.m. EST.</h2>

<p>directly from the admissions webpage.
now let's calm ourselves down and wait till thursday :)</p>
