<p>actually, I got my interview last Tuesday, and I thought it was the last day for the thing too. But good luck to you! My interviewer was really nice and relaxed. In her own words: "Harvard just want to make sure you are not an axe-murder". Who said I use axes? :P</p>
<p>do you mind posting your stats, himanultra?</p>
<p>don't want to getin trouble but I feel a big urge to try the admitted students page thangy-anyone bold enuff to?</p>
<p>I already posted the article about HBS from last year. If you try this it's your own responsibility. Chances are 99% nothing bad will happen, but still there is this 1%...</p>
<p>hahaha...i've already done it like 25 times...(i think)....it's not like i'm hacking into anything...i really don't think doing it can get any of us in trouble</p>
<p>Probably the prospective MBAs thought the same way last year...</p>
<p>hahah...i just don't get it, though...maybe we're talking about two different things. but all you do is type in your last name and random numbers and it either says: "incorrect id" or "no user found..."</p>
<p>so, i guess i'm a little confused as to how harvard adcom would be able to tell whether it was the actual applicant doing the hacking or a friend of the applicant, doing it against the applicant's will...anyoen who knows your last name can figure out whether or not your were admitted...</p>
<p>Yes, but not anyone can figure out your PIN... So you are going to take the whole blame.</p>
<p>but, atanas_vs, I haven't been using my actual pin....</p>
<p>once decisions are made and inputted into harvard's computers, regardless of your pin #, applicants are able to tell whther or not they have been admitted. using any series of numbers and your last name you can determine your status. if you have not been admitted and you try to access the admitted students webpage, it will say "no user found," if you have been admitted, it will say: "incorrect pin #"</p>
<p>this is completely different from the hacking done by the HBS applicants.</p>
<p>Just tried it... it says "Incorrect Pin" for my last name, and "User not found" for a random blob of letters (in "Last name")</p>
<p>Both times, I just put in some random numbers as Pin #.</p>
<p>Good sign/bad sign/anyone else get similar results?</p>
<p>excellent sign...unless you have a very common last name...what are the chances that someone in the admitted pool of freshmen and transfer applicants would have the same last name as you (1200+ students)?</p>
<p>I tried "smith", just to see what would happen, and it said "incorrect pin #" also.</p>
<p>Has anyone else who applied tried and gotten "user not found"?</p>
<p>Sorry, guys I think I missed something - where are you trying that thing with the PIN ?</p>
<p>i got user not found with my last name - although my last name is highly unusual.</p>
<p>May be you are not in....yet I'm not sure if that is correct source of information, since not all decisions have been made</p>
<p>augie- how common is your last name?</p>
<p>it's not uncommon... there's certainly a chance that more than one person with my last name applied.</p>
<p>mehhhh i got user not found. perhaps interviewee decisions haven't been made? augie, did you get an interview? if so, when?</p>
<p>i really don't think decisions have been made yet, so i don't think that link thing would work.</p>
<p>And with the Harvard Business school thing -- I'm pretty sure that the files were hacked into. What bnx86 is talking about is not hacking.</p>
<p>ps, i love bnx86</p>
