<p>They're all part of if functions that require that the variable be assigned a value before they do anything.</p>
<p>Basically, the UVa computer will input your decision, triggering a function within the code. This function is where you see the three programming variables "waitList," "accept," and "decline." When your decision is updated, this particular section of code will tell your browser to display your decision letter. All three variables are present in everybody's source code because UVa just uses a uniform program for everyone.</p>
<p>I'm essentially saying that yours is the same as mine and ours are both the same as everyone else. There are no hidden clues in the source code.</p>
<p>hehe. you know enough about computers to realize you can do view source, but not enough to understand what you are looking at.</p>
<p>A friend thats applying (and is a sick hacker) sent me the code and we agreed in about 10 seconds that there was nothing useful there. Sorry to burst your bubble kids. You will have to wait another 2 whole hours.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter whether it's open code or not. Trying to go around UVA's admission and trying to find out your admission status not only early, but by going around the normal "click, fill out your login info, and click again", isn't legit. We value the honor system here, and even though it's controversial and flawed sometime, it still exists. No offense, but show your possible future-school some respect and wait it out.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, and I'm not trying to be difficult, but there is no practical advantage to be gained by finding out admissions early. Perhaps bringing one peace of mind early, but that hardly seems dishonorable and only abstractly practical.</p>
<p>I don't believe that any disrespect is shown to the university at all by the sheer anxiety of prospective students. The release time itself if not an entity worthy of respect.</p>
<p>Either way, I don't see how either of those points comes in violation of the honor system.</p>
<p>I guess the point is, if you'd try to circumvent the rules (of decision being out at 6 pm) even in the matter of viewing your acceptance, what else would you do? How far does someone have to do something before it counts as cheating on a test? Looking at someone else's name? The first letter of someone else's answer? The second? The first word? Etc.</p>
