A hacker gained access to the ApplyYourself system that handles admissions applications for Harvard, Stanford, Duke, MIT and other similiarly successful business schools. Apparently some students for whom a decision had been made were able to get a preview of the decision. The schools apparently see the previews as an ethical breach sufficient to warrant a reversal of the admissions. I wonder if it has occurred to them that a possible source of the hacking instuctions might be someone hoping to displace other students? Read the AP story for more details.
