Do Admissions Officers Peruse Forums?

Do admissions officers peruse forums in an attempt to match forum participants to applications? I would think that at times it might would be possible to make an educated guess if one were to have the application in hand, and also view, say the lsn numbers website (if one was liberal with their info on that site). Granted they most likely do not have enough time to do something like this, but maybe they browse the sites when they head home for the night.

yes, and not just to check out applicants, but it would stand to reason that they keep their finger on the pulse of their own standings ( apart form official rankings). I'm sure they laugh when they see us deriding some aspect or praising another...
sort of a 'word up, dude' , what's the word on the street?
what...we're the LS grapevine?
well, yeah.

Did you really just bump a thread that was less than 20 minutes old?

I think it is kinda cool. Although that pretty much killed the Yale thread though.

Even worse, stalked by Dean Asha, a former FBI special agent.

Pless had his own thread. Also, I remember last cycle that NU may have followed related threads supported subsequent twitter feeds.

My post count is not high by any means, it was really impressive to see me addressed first. Perhaps what I was saying really needed to be addressed.

I'm 99.98% sure I got waitlisted because of my LSN profile. Foolishly, I used exact numbers and outlined my intentions for each school.
Like the other said, Pless all but guaranteed this.

It's all fun and games until Yale dings you for that comment.

If Yale doesn't appreciate my humor, I'd rather go to NYU anyway

What if other schools ding you for wanting Yale so much?
Seriously for some of us this is such a life changing event, I think a little humor and a little obessessing is ok. Especially if it is about Yale.

What if they assume the identity and it happens to be a wrong person? isn't this a very dangerous assumption to make?

First off, I'm actually not obsessed with going to Yale. I'd probably let Harvard or Stanford install bathroom monitors, too
I find humor in these sorts of situations, and I also like joking about being obsessed with schools.
