SUnet ID Method of Acceptance Prediction - Did it work?

<p>Hey bluebubbles, it works for you as a waitlistee, as in for freshman admissions right? just checking. Is the the screen below what you’re seeing once you put in your 8 digits?</p>

<p>Oh btw, I’m not prompted for a password, they just ask for my last name, last 4 digits of my SSN, and birth date. When I put those in, it spits back my first name, middle initial, and last name and asks me to create a user ID. are you getting the same thing?</p>

<p>Could other waitlistees check to see if bluebubbles is possibly being offered admission from the waitlist or if all waitlistees can access the page above? Also, bluebubbles, did you try the SUnet method before and right after decisions were mailed out? What happened in both of those times?</p>

23

<p>Also, for others who are trying this method, supposedly, it works only if you put in your 8-digit Stanford ID, not “provide other identification.” Just clarifying.</p>

24

<p>I am a contacted waitlistee, I get the error message that it can’t find my ID. I think if the system can find your ID - you are 100% in, because I don’t see a reason to put your ID into current student database unless you are not accepted… Let’s hope they didn’t put in all of the IDs yet… Time to freak out :D</p>

25

<p>@liontreelion, I just now caught on to this so I didn’t check to see before regular decisions came out. It does say on the left that the database is for students and faculty and staff but we haven’t even sent in enrollment decisions yet. Something is fishy though - how could they know for sure that we would enroll? I definitely plan on doing so if I get in but some people may not so it would be premature to classify us as students.</p>

26

<p>Guys, I think it’s time to cool it. They’re gonna get ticked off if they catch people trying to hack the system. Just wait until Friday :)</p>

27

<p>this isn’t hacking…god, we’re not that smart to do that just yet. anyway, so waitlisted ppl, it worked for you??</p>

28

<p>Hacking would probably take a lot more knowledge than just our <em>own</em> Stanford ID, name, SSN, and birth date lol. This is definitely not hacking.</p>

</p>

<p>I really hope you’re right! Also, it’s likely they’re not done with the waitlistees yet.</p>

<p>A Important Message from the Dean of Admission & Financial Aid </p>

<p>Transfer decisions have not yet been released nor has any waitlist activity been announced. Any candidate who attempts to determine the action on their application prior to official notification may have his or her admission revoked. It is unfortunate that we must deliver this message, but we are aware of efforts on the part of a few candidates to compromise the system, which we are able to detect. This is in direct violation of Stanford’s Fundamental Standard.</p>

<p>Confirmation of the authenticity of this message can be found on our website under “Announcements” at: [Undergraduate</a> Admission : Stanford University](<a href=“Page Not Found : Stanford University”>http://admission.stanford.edu/)</p>

<p>OMG, IS THIS FORREAL…they have no righ tto do that…if they do, we can sue them because of the fact that last year’s group was able to do that, and it’s not written anywhere in the website/system that this is PROHIBITED…</p>

32

<p>loveyouu, I believe that’s Mr. Shaw. The statement is now on the website. It’s best that we wait for Friday. He is kind though so I believe if we just be patient and wait until then, everything will be fine :)</p>

33

<p>Agreed, Friday’s the day! Never believed that this “worked” anyway. Stanford is incredibly technologically advanced so they would’ve seen a loophole like this. 3 days til official decisions! Good luck everyone</p>

34

<p>Just got a message from Shawn Abbott asking for an explanation, and my heart is beating really fast. I’m off to work hard on this letter… wish me luck, guys.</p>

35

<p>liontreelion- Who is Shawn Abbott?
And I see from your screenshot that you’re using Safari. Very nice. : ) It’s a Mac, I presume? So you probably used Grab to get the screenshot then, right? lol</p>

36

<p>Never mind, I googled his name. What’s the difference between what he does and what Richard Shaw does?</p>

37

<p>Just sent the letter. I seriously want to cry :(</p>

38

<p>liontreelion: are you being serious? director of admission actually sent you a letter about this? For some reason I don’t believe you…</p>

39

<p>yes, he did. I don’t want to post the letter though as I’m not sure it can be made public.</p>

<p>Wow, so i guess that means this method actually worked for you? congratulations on being accepted, I doubt they will actually rescind you based on this.</p>
