| August 2005 No Admission for MBA HackersNone of the 41 applicants who hacked their way into the software system used to facilitate the Business School’s MBA admissions process was admitted to the School, Dean Robert Joss announced in April. The ApplyYourself system is used by several major universities; its security breach made national news in March. “We asked the applicants whose ApplyYourself accounts were accessed to contact us with an explanation. Of the competitive applicants, none who gained unauthorized access was able to explain his or her actions to our satisfaction,” Joss said. The School’s admissions decisions had not been entered into the system at the time of the break-in. Additionally, “those who did hack into the system were able to view only their own decision page and could not view the confidential information of any other applicant,” said MBA Admissions Director Derrick Bolton. |
