<p>I heard a rumor that UCSD sent admission letter to every applicant by mistake. Is it true?</p>
<p>This is really old news.</p>
<p>Yeah, they did. What happened was they were trying to send an email saying “Congrats on your acceptance, please come to Admit Day” letter to those who were accepted.</p>
<p>But, whoever was sending out the email accidentally sent it to everyone. So those who were rejected thought they were accepted. But they caught the mistake quickly and within a few hours sent out an apology letter to those who were rejected.</p>
<p>this is true.</p>
<p>What some people THINK happened was that ppl who were supposed to get rejected didn’t… Not true</p>
<p>The incident happened after rejections/acceptances. UCSD just sent out an inivitation to admit day to every applicant when it was supposed to only go to the acceptance pool. </p>
<p>It was hilarious but… honestly big deal guys. Get over it.</p>
<p>Yeah I think the media exaggerated a bit. But any applicant in his/her right mind would double-check on the online application status.</p>
<p>Did you hear of the student who invited all his relatives and made reservations at a hotel for Admit Day?</p>
<p>^ yes… naive kids. A rejection letter is a rejection letter.</p>
