<p>My case is the same as tdelpie88--I received a GSP letter, and thus, already knew that there was a 99% chance I was admitted. I genuinely wanted to get my email and see what, if any, information I could get about initial deposits, financial aid, housing, etc. Like tdelpie88 said, it didn't even occur to me that I was doing something wrong.</p>
<p>Please forgive any inconvenience I've caused--let me know if I can do anything to make up for my mistake.</p>
<p>I feel horrible for creating an account, I should've waited and have been patient. I'm truly sorry in every sense of the word, and regret all of my actions.</p>
<p>Sorry for trying to access a net-id. With everyone claiming to access it I was desperate and I apologize.</p>
<p>I would also like to offer my sincere apologies for attempting to log into the program. I was told that I was not allowed to create a NetID and seeing that I have not yet received my admissions decision, rightfully so. I was simply curious as well, and take full responsibility for my actions. Thank you for responding to and easing the tensions of those of us who were misled by false information. From here on I will directly contact NYU and their admissions office for any inquires I have whatsoever in regards to NYU and their admissions process. Once again, I am deeply sorry for any inconvenience I have caused.
Thank you very much.</p>
<p>I am sorry as well. I was caught up in the excitement of the moment and failed to consider the potential consequences of my actions.</p>
<p>Hi my name is Andrew Roig, and a while back someone on College Confidential had posted a link that would supposedly allow students check their admissions status for NYU RD, like a few colleges that I also applied to. My curiousity got the best of me, and I decided to check it out, and tried more than once to login/activate an account to check my status, thinking that there was something wrong with it, but to no avail. Today I decided to check out college confidential again, and saw a post by the undergraduate admissions board saying that they were dissapointed that people were trying to "hack" into NYUHome to see their admissions decision. I was misled into thinking this was a status check, and tried doing it several times. I hope this doesn't affect my admissions decision, and I don't know what to think about it. I really thought this was legitimate, seeing as I did not try this through the supposed "glitch window" that I was unaware of until now. I called the undergraduate admissions office, but the officer I needed to speak with was in a meeting, and they told me to call back tomorrow. I just wanted to know if this misunderstanding will be affecting our chances of admission. I regret trying this method, and take responsibility for my actions. NYU is my first choice school, as well as the best in the nation for what I want to study (Music Business at Steinhardt), and would hate to lose an amazing opportunity to a simple mistake. I truly hope that you forgive the majority of us for our actions, because most were without malice, and I look forward to (hopefully) hearing from you and attending the best school in the nation! :)</p>
<p>I would also like to extend my sincerest apology to New York University and anyone on this board that was influenced by any of my replies to posts on this issue.</p>
<p>I should have realized at the time what a bad idea it is to attempt logging into NYU's system without being a member of the University.</p>
<p>It is my hope that I receive a favorable admission decision to NYU, and that this issue does not affect my possible acceptance. If I am rejected, I will work as hard as I can my first year at another college, and attempt to transfer to NYU. It's that important to me.</p>
<p>Once again, I am sorry.</p>
<p>I also attempted to access the Net-ID site. Still, I apologize and take full responsibility for my actions. The wise thing to have done would have been to wait for the decision instead of looking into questionable links.</p>
<p>Past applicants waited and received their decision when the appropriate time came and I should have done the same. So I extend my apology for any trouble my actions have caused.</p>
<p>My apologies for creating a net-ID. I honestly had no idea that it would become something this serious. Seeing how others were confirming that they were able to create simply got the better of me so I tried to as well. </p>
<p>However, I would like to thank the Admissions representative for clearing this up quickly. Thank you very much.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to clear up the use of this specific page. I am sorry that I attempted to check my status before notification went out next week. I didn't register any email address. Up until this point, I saw nothing wrong with accessing the page and would have told any NYU admissions officer that I had accessed the page because I honestly believed it was 100% harmless (my parents even encouraged me to do so). However, I see now that I was misled by some posts in this messageboard and I am truly sorry. I hope NYU will be sympathetic towards these students as it was a harmless mistake. </p>
<p>Thank you again for your understanding.</p>
<p>I'm debating about whether or not I should call, I am worried but I don't want to be a bother any more than I have already been.</p>
<p>I too want to apologize for trying to access my application status before April first. It's become very apparent that my lack of self control and patience was not admirable. I now realize that following a link posted on the internet accessing private information is clearly unwise and irresponsible. Sorry for all the inconvenience this has caused.</p>
<p>So what is NYU going to do about these NET-IDs? Reset them? I also accessed my account and I really can't do anything about it now...I saw the link and I saw no warning anywhere whatsoever.</p>
<p>I also want to apologize for logging into NYU home. I did not know it was against the rules and did not completeley know what it was. Sorry NYU!</p>
<p>I think it's pretty cool how everyone here is apologizing to NYU, as if it is a friend we all wronged. I also get the feeling though that everyone's also trying to save their butts in terms of admission. :P</p>
<p>Regardless, I typed my SSN in and other stuff a few nights ago and also a few weeks ago when they first came online. I always got "only current members of the NYU Community are eligible to use this function". So perhaps I am rejected. If I am, I hope it's because of my application, and not because I had curiousity towards something I happened to see on college confidential. Of course, the admissions rep from NYU is right, what we ended up doing was very unprofessional.</p>
<p>I don't think this is worth calling them over but I think I'll just let my interweb voice join the others in this thread. Sorry, NYU! You're my top college choice, and no matter what happens, I'll still think you're a pretty neat school.</p>
<p>Yea, I totally agree with the NYU rep. THANK GOD I hit the link and stuff but I never activated the account because....lol I haven't been admitted nor am I part of the NYU community!!</p>
<p>I too wish to apoligize, though I can never justify a blatant attempt to find out information that wasn't intended to be revealed, I had heard other instances of people accessing University servers to find out if they had been accepted and didn't realize the magnitude of what I was doing wrong until UG Admissions explained it to me.</p>
<p>I am regretful for what I have done and any problems I have created.</p>
<p>So what happens to those who tried it and made an account?</p>
<p>And why is it accessible if they don't want you to create an account early?</p>
<p>I don't see why it is a big deal if some kids know a few days early.</p>
<p>Out of curiousity, what harm has been caused by people trying to log into the website? The only implications I can find is that they either find out their decision, or they find out a wrong decision. Either way it would be cleared up by April 1st.</p>
<p>No disrespect meant: Obviously if we were not allowed to log in, then we shouldn't have, but most of us were completely ignorant to this fact. Now that I am aware that this would be considered sneaky and such by NYU, I am sure to not do anything like this without explicit information allowing me to do so.
But as one user said earlier, the website was easy to use with information usually employed for application status checks, and I am sure many simply considered the page a resource for nerves-soothing. Please consider making courses of action like these discouraged initially next time around.</p>
<p>Having been a part of the 'Cornell Disaster,' I did not even touch that link, as I have previously learned just how horrible the after-effects of random admissions links can be. I wish you all had read that featured forum. I also do not think you should be worrying right now. Just don't return to the site and wait a few more days. Everything will work out for the best (hopefully). Good luck to everyone, and don't click anymore links! :)</p>
