<p>Oops</a>! UCSD Sends Acceptance E-mail to Wrong List | NBC San Diego
Where you one of these students? Know one of these students? How often does such mistakes happen?</p>
<p>Didn't read about this tuesday, nor see it on cc. I thought it was interesting, and made a thread fast.</p>
<p>I heard about this on CNN; how cruel.</p>
<p>Ugh that is horrible for people it happened to!</p>
<p>Sounds like a nightmare come true.</p>
<p>Luckily, though, it seems as if the applicants had already checked their admission status online, and these e-mails were more confusing than misleading.</p>
<p>April Fools</p>
<p>the ultimate april fools prank!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, a lot of my friends got that e-mail. They were super confused and thought they were admitted, but weren’t sure. It was super sad. Got their hopes up only to have it crash down with basically a “we have sent this in error” email. Sad.</p>
<p>The people that I know that received it already knew they were rejected. Like said above, this just confused them more than anything. After several people that knew they got rejected saw it, we all figured it had been a mistake.</p>
<p>Ouch. That’s a cruel April Fools Joke</p>
<p>That’s absolutely terrible. Maybe they did it on purpose…</p>
<p>Yeah, I can only imagine how bad that must be feel, but I don’t think any respectable college would do it on purpose…I mean, today being April Fool’s Day is just a coincidence…hopefully…</p>
<p>It’d be cooler to actually be accepted but get a accidental rejection letter, just so one’s shattered hopes could like immediately reassemble when they realize they were actually accepted.</p>
<p>The e-mail was actually a congrats on being admitted and an invitation to attend the Admit Day. It was sent out on Sunday and therefore, it was not technically an April Fool’s Joke. Me and my friend received one of these, however my friend had been rejected and I had been accepted. Needless to say, she was crying when she found out that it was an accident =/.</p>
<p>In all fairness, the students had already been rejected several weeks earlier and should have realized it was a glitch.</p>
<p>
It has happened at [Cornell[/url</a>], [url=<a href=“http://www.newsobserver.com/161/story/536389.html]UNC”>http://www.newsobserver.com/161/story/536389.html]UNC</a> Chapel Hill](<a href=“http://cornellsun.com/node/8204]Cornell[/url”>http://cornellsun.com/node/8204), and [url=<a href=“Chicago Tribune - Chicago News, Sports, Weather, Business & Things to Do”>Chicago Tribune - Chicago News, Sports, Weather, Business & Things to Do]Northwestern-Kellogg[/url</a>], that I know of.</p>
<p>A lot of my friends got that e-mail. I spoke with some of them and they told me they were confused and excited, thinking that they had been accepted. But unfortunately no…</p>
<p>Yeah I know someone who got one of those emails, but he knew it was a mistake because he had already been rejected.</p>
<p>The poor guy on Headline News who received one was crushed… poor guy. What a horrible error to make on UCSD’s part.</p>
<p>But why wouldn’t it also have been reasonable to think that the denial e-mail was a mistake and that this one was accurate? I wouldn’t necessarily think it didn’t cause some kids to get excited, thinking that they were accepted when this e-mail came congratulating them on their acceptance.</p>
<p>Well they should face the consequences of being stupid and tell everyone who was accepted to come. What a cruel april fools.</p>
<p>i will die if this happens to me next year.
especially if it was my top choice or something, lol.
how horrible.</p>
