How do you know? My blood just ran cold.

They can't possibly tell your TSR username when they're reading your UCAS, can they? "I have 3 minutes to read this PS but this person sounds like that girl off TSR, I'll just log on and check "

Congratulations, you have been successfully ripped off and will contribute to them ripping off other people. There's plenty of information online on interviews, there are even videos of sample interviews ffs.

Well from what I've read over the past year that I've been a member, that's generally what people agree happens. And usually the majority are right on these sorts of things.

And, no, of course they can't second-guess the IRL identity of some members, though some users do have their real name as their username! Quite stupidly in my opinion.

That's insanity. There is no way that they should base their decisions on TSR posts, and it'd be much too easy to mix some people up. That can't possibly be accurate. Unless people phone up to ask why they were rejected and the uni is like "Soz, you replied to a post with 'cool story bro' and it pissed us off so much, we couldn't let you in. "
