<p>Ok so crazy turn of events. I first received a rejection letter from Tulane a week ago. Then two days ago I received an email saying the rejection letter was a technical glitch in their system and I've actually been waitlisted. This email prompted me to accept an invitation to be placed on the waitlist. Then today I logged into Gibson to see if it said waitlisted on my account, however, it said ACCEPTED!! What is going on here? I'm not sure what to believe until I receive a formal letter in the mail. But then again, why should I believe that when I already received a formal rejection letter in the mail, which was false?</p>
<p>Get on the phone first thing tomorrow!</p>
<p>Not to be a downer, but I agree in this case. Either call your admissions counselor and ask directly, or wait for the letter. I hope for your sake it is true, though! Maybe they got the message that Tulane was #1 on your list.</p>
<p>Im hoping Gibson can never be wrong. It would be even worse to accept a kid and then rescind it. I bet they take even more care when accepting kids and making sure thats not a “technical glitch” or am i wrong?</p>
<p>You are right, but it doesn’t mean mistakes don’t happen. Don’t engage in avoidance behavior, just call them and confirm. There is a 95% chance you are right that it is correct and you will feel so much better knowing.</p>
<p>Check Gibson again tomorrow before school, and if it says the same thing then call them as soon as you possibly can. Or send an e-mail before you head off to school and keep an eye out. But I would call if I were you.</p>
<p>Should I just call the general admission phoneline and have them check to see if I am actually admitted? Can the random person picking up the phone have that right to even check my status?</p>
<p>I think you should try to talk directly to your counselor. A student intern answering the phone shouldn’t be giving you that info. If your counselor isn’t in, ask for Mr. Retiff, the head of admissions. Just explain that after the denied/waitlist issue, you want to be sure what you are seeing is real. Then just see what they say.</p>
<p>this is a news article from the University of Delaware</p>

<p>Yeah, I read that earlier today. Wasn’t a “direct” mistake of accepting rejected students, they forgot to make a link to an event for accepted students only restricted to only those students. It was still pretty bad, because 61 students that were not accepted stumbled across that link and saw a “Congratulations” message.</p>
