I mean a computer genius may have a terrible SAT score, low GPA since he failed history, never joined a sport team and those things kept him out of MIT. So he decided to hack into MIT’s admission system. I believe the easiest thing he can do is hacking after the decisions have been made. Then, change an admitted student’s personal info to the hacker’s. In this way, he has the essays and the SAT scores that got him into MIT if the admission officers want to review the applicants in the future. I mean, there are still ways to find out, but at least it’s feasible. I just thought that he could also hack into Collegeboard system to change his SAT scores.
