<p>Hi guys!
On Friday, I got accepted to UCLA and, as you can probably guess, I was ecstatic. I screenshot my decision letter and posted it on Instagram. A couple hours later, I received an email from UCLA's admissions office stating to confirm my decline of their offer of admission.
I was so confused and scared because I knew for a fact that I didn't reject their admission offer. Thankfully, I was able to get in contact with the admissions and fix this fiasco. They informed me that somebody used the information I posted on my photo to gain access to my account. From that point on, they posed as me and rejected UCLA's offer of admission. </p>
<p>The scariest part was when they told me that my case was not an isolated one.
In retrospect, I should have blurred out my information; however, my account was private and I didn't think this would happen to me. Earlier today, I looked through the pictures with the hashtag: #UCLAbound and there were more than a dozen screenshots of decision letters without any censor of private information. :O</p>
<p>Please have discretion when you post your decision letters on social media, because even though my account was private, it was still breached. I SERIOUSLY would not want anyone to go through what I did. </p>
<p>SPREAD THE WORD</p>
