Stanford Rejects Business School Hackers

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."

Yeah, they weren't nerds. They were business school applicants. You know, the popular ones that always dated the cute cheerleaders in highschool??

So they have no 1337 skillz like we do. They will return to a nondescript apartment at a state university somewhere and study business there. Though they still probably date cute girls, and get an average job somewhere.

Fortunately for us, we have the warm embrace of our parents basement's to return to.

Petty and ridiculous

This is pathetic. First, it's not hacking if you give away login information in your source code. It's really shitty coding. Of course why would Stanford want students who have expressed an ounce of give a damn about getting admitted, when they can have the same pathetic bunch of rich tards year after year.
