@cali1998 I’m not super techy so I don’t know exactly how it works, but basically what I’m talking about is how ad blockers installed on your browser work. When you access a webpage it pulls all the information from their server in code and then your web browser coverts the code to what you see. Most web browsers will allow you to see the code that they are processing and allow you to make edits to it. These changes only change how your browser displays the page… it doesn’t actually relay back to the server and change anything on their end. You’re not “hacking” anything because you are only making edits to what the server has given you permission to access. If you reload the page any edits you made to the page will disappear.
I totally agree though… 6 days is nothing and not worth all the added stress of obsessing over FA changes. I was just interested to see if anyone knew if the FA change could be unhidden out of curiosity.

Hey, sorry I don’t know much about techy stuff at all. So idk if its worth taking the risk you know.
But maybe someones already done it if it isn’t that difficult.
My FA Change is still there so idk about others!
I was accepted into their summer program last summer, but I didn’t attend. My FA change disappeared as well. It’s probably people who actually attended the program.
Honestly guys, I understand that for some of us “talking it out helps relieve stress”, but can we please recognize that there’s less than a week before the official decision. To whomever proposed manipulating the site code, DON’T DO IT. I don’t care how much you’re dying to get a peep of that FA change, I don’t care how many times you stress that it won’t affect anyone else, I don’t care whether or not the page resets automatically. Don’t do it. If you mess anything up, you’re sure as hell in for something and it sure as hell won’t be good. There’s a reason schools have decision release dates. There’s a reason they’ve tried to cover up the FA change. Be patient. Six days isn’t asking for much.
I don’t seriously think someone from College Confidential can “manipulate” the site lol.
NYU and MANY other colleges uses the Oracle system for their sites. Last I checked, Oracle is a multi-billion dollars company and database is its main field of business. If a 17-year-old can mess around with it, all by himself, then Oracle would be bankrupted by now.
Sure, you can view the site’s html and find out something “cool”, but mess around with it? No.
So chill guys. Anyone who said it was probably just kidding.
Jesus christ, how moronic are you people? Messing around with the code of the html page on your browser will do absolutely nothing to NYU’s servers. The code you’re messing around with is DOWNLOADED on your computer and will do nothing to NYU’s servers. If you think you can mess around with a site’s html code and suddenly fuck up the server from which you got that info, you have some type of problem.
I have to agree with @marblesandbagels that checking CC posts every morning is literally the only thing that has been getting me through the anxiety …and i do enjoy reading freaking out posts tbh whatever happens we will know by the 15th so in the meanwhile lets just all hold hands and panick together and enjoy our discussions
Hi guys, so I made a really stupid mistake which was that I forgot to send my resume AND my November SAT updated score to NYU. I just sent them yesterday and calling the school to check if they still accept this at this point.
