<p>I got admitted to Early Harvard, but I am wondering if any undergrad freshman at Harvard can look at someone's admission form and profile by working at admission office or so.</p>
<p>Nothing more. Curiosity.</p>
<p>The admissions offices have some student employees, that may help with filing/scanning, etc. But FERPA rules are in place. If they were being “just curious”, that’d be an immense violation. But who knows? </p>
<p>Do you assume that someone at Brown may have peeked into Emma Watson’s admissions file w/o authorization? Maybe. But again, it would have been illegal.</p>
<p>So common app stuffs cannot be read by student employees - is this what is meant?</p>
<p>I would assume that it is easier in the days of the common app to see if someone accessed a file ( check the MAC data) than in the days of a paper file when a pair of peering eyes could look at it and no one would ever know…until they talked about it…</p>

<p>What is meant that common app materials cannot legally be accessed except in the course of reviewing them for admission to Harvard College. That means that they can be read by student employees if reading some part of them is part of a student employee’s job (i.e. in order to file them appropriately) or if the student employee reads them for another purpose illegally.</p>
<p>… what a strange line of questioning from the OP</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1443322-what-do-student-employees-undergraduate-offices-do.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1443322-what-do-student-employees-undergraduate-offices-do.html</a></p>
<p>^^ It is very strange. My best guess is that the OP knows a freshman at Harvard who is also working in the Admissions Office. The OP is wondering if the Harvard student somehow ensured their acceptance. Unfortunately the OP is wrong. A Harvard student working in the Admissions Office is just a cog in the wheel, and has zero input into actual decisions.</p>
<p>^^ my guess is a maybe the OP has a vindictive ex BF/GF who is a freshman and works in H admissions! That’s where I’m going to put my money!</p>
<p>Or the OP is the kid of some dictator or PRC high official and his state intelligence services have indicted a fifth columnist who happens to be a H freshman in admissions.</p>
<p>gibby, you have to admit that T26E4’s speculations are lots more fun. ;-)</p>
<p>As long as we are engaging in conspiracy theories, my guess is that since the OP was admitted early, he/she is worried that someone who knows him/her might read over the app and feel that there were some inaccuracies in the essays or achievements cited. Especially, since he/she has asked about the access question so many times. Hopefully, I am way off base.</p>
<p>^^^This is most likely. What seemed like innocent exaggeration on OP’s app may, by the light of day (and early acceptance) look more like lies. Thus the worry of being found out. We saw a similar situation where a fellow classmate was accepted RD to a top five school. They had exaggerated (lied) about being on a varsity team for 4 years, when in fact it had been two. Also fabricated an important EC. They also had bragged about their application deceit in HS. Apparently decided the situation was a bit too hot to share with the classmate who had already accepted their early slot at same school.</p>
<p>I do like T2’s ideas best though.</p>
<p>oh my. T2’s quite close, though…:)</p>
