Stanford Rejects Business School Hackers

Posted by Zonk on from the don't-count-your-chickens dept.

robbarrett writes "The Stanford Report offers the next chapter in a continuing story about business school applicants manipulating URLs on the ApplyYourself system to determine their personal admission status. Harvard immediately rejected the 'hacker' applicants, but Stanford gave 'offenders' the opportunity to defend their actions. However, none of the competitive applicants 'was able to explain his/her actions to our satisfaction,' according to Stanford's dean, so all were rejected. The story mentions the decisions reached by other schools involved in the mess."

    Episode VI

    RETURN OF THE H@X0R

    Applicant-1337 has returned to
    his home planet of ParentsBasement in
    an attempt to rescue his
    friend University Education from the
    clutches of the vile gangster
    The Big Guy.

    Much does Hax0r know that the
    HARVARD EMPIRE has controversially
    begun construction on a new
    armored hax0r-rejection policy even
    more powerful than the first
    dreaded competitive admission system.

    When completed, this ultimate
    weapon will spell certain doom
    for the small band of hax0rs
    struggling to restore freedom
    to the interweb....
