<p>I recieved a PM from a forum member(I won't say who, for privacy reasons) who linked me to a site for accepted students(for the 2012 class) where you entered your PIN and DOB. The member suggested that this may be possible to determine your acceptance by trying your PIN number.</p>
<p>I just wanted to advise everyone here to not try this experiment. If any of you remember, someone applying to Harvard business school figured out how to get admissions decisions weeks early(Hacker</a> helps business school applicants get early decision), and everyone who tried this method(reguardless of whether they were admitted or not) automatically got a rejection letter. So, beware of this site, and know that you risk these kinds of concequences if you choose to find out your acceptance through these means.</p>
<p>I hope no one else has tried this so far...</p>
<p>I did after I got a PM asking to try it to see if it worked.... I didn't what it was! Please tell me what I need to do to correct this mistake! Oh god, there is no way in hell I am going to be able to get any sleep tonight....</p>
<p>rszanto: The link I provided in my previous post was for reference to Harvard's story. The link to the aforementioned website is not included in my post, for obvious reasons.</p>
<p>Update: The site that was forworded to ME, wasn't a hacked site. It was found on google, and was probably a "warm-up" site. Unless someone is PMing tips on how to access Columbia's internal files, no one should worry.
P.S
I need a vacation...</p>
<p>rszanto:
Not to cause stress, but although the site was found via Google, you were clearly not intended to access it. The site is, with no doubt, labeled for use by admitted members of the class of 2012. So, I still stand by my caveat.</p>
<p>I got one too, I tried it and it said that my information was not found in their system. He was just trying to see if it said that for everyone. It's not like Columbia is going to reject someone for the mistake of trying to log in. It's not like any of us were 'hacking.'</p>
