<p>Even that photobucket image is something anyone can do. The procedure is set up your ID then find a sponsor, that's why there's a grace period. Why would it expire Dec. 22 if you have until May 1 to decide?</p>

162

<p>I think the kicker for me was that I entered the id# and it said it was reservered for me. And yes tennisfan I did get the same page as sadface. How far did you guys get and what was the error?</p>

163

<p>So I read this last night during the frenzy of messages and was very skeptical of the whole thing—and still am.</p>

<p>But some how it worked for me too: <a href="http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/1350/44396255bk0.png%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/1350/44396255bk0.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

164

<p>I think the expiration may deal with people whom make requests for accounts. If you make a request for a research account and no one authorizes it there should be a mechanism to flush unnecessary user data from the data base.</p>

165

<p>I agree with SoCal. You guys really need to let this go. If you'll notice, the screenshot from today's is Dec 23 while yesterday's was Dec 22. It doesn't make sense that this date should be changing with each passing day since as socal said, we have until MAY 1.</p>

166

<p>Ok, we really ought to dismiss this. One can input dummy information into the personal information portion and conjure up an account: <a href="http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1659/picture2cs0.png%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1659/picture2cs0.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Case closed.</p>

167

<p>Thanks shougan and SoCalGal for clearing this up. That's what I thought.</p>

168

<p>You mean people scared Oprah away.</p>

169

<p>OMFG<br>

<p>XP This is funny.</p>

172

<p>lol, what if I never got a sun id? I had to request stanford for a email confirmation of everything, and it said I had everything, but it didn't have anything else. What was the purpose of giving all the applicants an ID? Should I email stanford to send mine?</p>

173

<p>Nah, it's too late for anything. The id wasn't useful in the first place- it was just a application id thing</p>

174

<p>Eligibility</p>

<p>There are two types of eligibility for a SUNet ID:</p>

<pre><code>* University-eligible. Full-service SUNet IDs are available to current, registered students; and to regular and emeritus faculty and staff, including SLAC staff. Hospital staff are entitled to a base-level SUNet ID.

More about SUNet IDs for hospital staff...

  • Sponsored. Anyone who is not University-eligible who needs to use SUNet resources in support of legitimate University work can be sponsored for a SUNet ID. o It is the responsibility of the person requesting the SUNet ID to find a sponsor, if one is required. + For free services, the sponsor must be regular Stanford faculty or staff. + For charged services, the sponsor must have requisitions authority in Oracle Financials for a current Stanford account. o The sponsor is responsible for ensuring that the sponsored SUNet ID is used in support of the University's mission, and in accordance with the University's policies. o Sponsorship is for a fixed period, and must be renewed if the SUNet ID is to remain active. </code></pre>

<hr>

<p>Taken from the SUNET Id page. Read the second part, sponsored means that it probably dealt with his involvement w/ Stanford in the past. Don't worry, you're not rejected....yet. (lol j/k)</p>

175

<p>Regardless of my admissions decision, the very last way I want to find out whether or not I'm admitted is by seeing whether or not I have a SUNet ID.</p>

<p>I've waited too long for the 12/15 email to check that way, even if it was a valid method.</p>

<p>Just my two cents.</p>

176

<p>i believe slac interns get the first one</p>

177

<p>I Already have an account. This does nothing for me. Just tells me...RETARD YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT</p>

178

<p>haha, this whole controversy could have been sorted out in the beginning if the people tat the account worked for could have told us that they had already worked at Stanford in the past</p>

179

<p>not everyone worked for stanford buddy.......</p>

180

<p>It could be that their ID happened to match some person working at Stanford. Someone before found a range of score that all worked, and I doubt Stanford admitted all of the 100 people w/ their ID number within that range.</p>
