<p>C</p>
<p>........... and I applied to CAS</p>
<p>Mine starts with an F, F for what the **** is going on?</p>
<p>GLfromcornell only had 2 posts and his/her join date was Dec 2005. I have a feeling he (for the sake of convenience) knew what he was doing when he gave us the link.</p>
<p>ooh beginning of the alphabet...thats good</p>
<p>mine is S and it has no decision yet</p>
<p>he set a trap and we fell for it. i have a feeling those early decision results are real.</p>
<p>Person, my last name starts with F and i didnt get a decision, i know someone who last names starts with an R and said he was in. So dont base it on that.</p>
<p>We are both CALS btw</p>

<p>What do you mean?
I doubt that Cornell can check the logs of people who accessed an invidual page?</p>
<p>They may be able to see when you logged on and off, but do you think they will check if you visited the decision page? Is it even possible?</p>

<p>I believe the link is real. If you can still check it, I would highly discourage doing so. It is a good way to get your decision rescinded. I have analyzed two screen shots, one from a poster here and one from a friend. One was accepted and one deferred. The evidence in favor of it being real is:</p>
<ol>
<li>resemblence to last years layout
2.the "https://"
3.the "admissions.cornell.edu" site
4.the proper use of both applicant's name's
5.the fact that some decisions are not yet posted, which makes sense as there are still a few days left.</li>
</ol>
<p>if i were you i would not click the link
if you did click the link call and explain tomorrow. They will know it was you, as you had to log in, right? You are much better off being up front about your mistake, and perhaps your thinking that it was a joke line that would say "you're rejected you loser" or something.</p>
<p>This is my advice, and I strongly believe it is the real deal. play it safe, and wait 2 more days</p>
<p>Btw, a G last name got a decision.</p>
<p>I feel EXTREMELY out of the loop! I didn't get to see anything at all whatsoever (although I'm almost positive I would have clicked the link had I been on when it was available). Some of you are REALLY REALLY LUCKY to know.</p>
<p>they're not lucky if they get their decisions revoked.</p>
<p>its sooo dumb...the link was SO obvious...you would think cornell would make it a little harder to find.</p>
<p>did anybody try accessing it the regular way through the cornell site?</p>
<p>Yeah. You couldn't.</p>

<blockquote> <p>Do you remember exactly how the grad students found out? It was more than merely clicking a link right?</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>They had to enter a pass code and/or personal identifier:

<p>You didn't have to enter your username and password on this link? How could it possibly put your name and decision without your username and password??</p>
<p>Did you have to use a "self service" login or was it just a list of everyone's names with their decisions? My last name starts with a P (no, its not pugachev).</p>
<p>It doesn't matter if you logged in or what... they can trace your IP address and easily find you if they know how to look. Although if you logged in, that certainly makes it easier. =P</p>
<p>No, what I mean is, in order to get your decision, did you have to log in (with your username and password). Otherwise, how were the decisions displayed?</p>
<p>the ip will only take them to the computer used. doesn't really help if that's not your home computer, though it would be a great indicator haha. the logging in certainly makes it obvious though...</p>
