I think that was a very just action, on the accounts of all schools affected. I can't understand why anyone even tried to do such a thing. The prospective students apparently knew when the decisions would become public knowledge, so I don't see any advantage in learning ahead of time.

Absolutely the correct course of action. Why would any school want a potential hacker problem as a student, not to mention over 40 of them?! Just seems as if they are already displaying a proclivity for cheating.

Like everyone else, I agree with what the University decided. These kids showed a definately willingess to be dishonest. It is time to stand up and say such behavior will not be tolerated, not accepted and even more than that...punished!

How ridiculous is this. You try to hack the school you are trying to get entrance into? These guys where not very smart apparently. I think that the action is just and smart. If they are going to try to pull a stunt like this before they have university access, what would they do with privileges?

I'd heard of this before and agree with what everyone here has said. It's just stupid that so many would hack into a school just to see whether or not they got in. I mean come on, you can't just wait long enough to find out if you've made it. I applaud the school's decision, it was easily the right one.
