No e-mail! Fear not I beat the system

<p>hahahaha okay so all my friends got decisions except me. we saw a trend</p>

<p>go on the harvard website and to to the admitted students website.</p>

<p>type your last same and some random numbers for your pin</p>

<p>if you are admitted it says " INCORRECT PIN" </p>

<p>if you are rejected/ WAIT LISTED is says " USER NOT FOUND'</p>

<p>OMG!!! NO FREAKEN WAY!!! I did not get an email but....</p>

<p>IT SAID INCORRECT PIN WHEN I TYPED IN MY LAST NAME BUT THIS CANT BE RIGHT!!! Most likely someone has my same last name (10~ish most common Chinese name...)</p>

<p>Is there anyway to differentiate last names??</p>

<p>God I wish I hadn't seen this post. Now I will be nervous for the next week. I had assumed that I had just been rejected.</p>

<p>Also read the other post. I'm not sure where my pin number is.</p>

<p>mmm..how can you be so sure?</p>

<p>The PIN should be on the mailing they sent you when they confirmed they had your application.</p>

<p>well i tired this with my friends who did and did not get in
and turns out i got in </p>

<p>happiness!</p>

<p>lol all these crazy "beating the system"s are nerveracking!</p>

<p>The OP's theory works for me.</p>

<p>But what if you have the same last name as somebody else who was admitted...</p>

<p>that that sucks.</p>

<p>lucky for my my last name is not common at all with 11 letters in it. hahah</p>

<p>im sorry my system was not fool proof. but next year, when students dont get e-mails....perhaps even before e-mails are sent out they will know.</p>

<p>thanx to moi. my detective skills are kick asssssssssssssssssss</p>

<p>lol</p>
