<p>amazhon- You’re correct. From the email D received, I originally thought the entire glitch was limited to 11, or thought to be limited to 11. But I see from the post here that it was 11 who successfully scheduled DD’s.</p>
<p>On my bluehen page, it only says I am interested in xx major. It has been like this since I applied. It does not say that I am admitted to xx major.</p>
<p>Just read the article about PSU and their glitch… They still honored ALL their acceptances that were sent to 700 people… I’m hoping that my top choice school, the one I believed in, will honor the acceptances as well. I’m completely stressed and feel heartbroken. All we can do is hope that they do the right thing for us 11 students…</p>
<p>How those calls gonna go? U guys have to report back. This is the way I see it</p>
<p>"Hello, this is UNIVERSITY of Delware admissions, is Chelsea there?</p>
<p>Hi Chelsea, we’re calling to let U know that we didn’t actually accept U. Sorry about that link congratulating U on Ur admission. And sorry we invited U to the the reception for admitted students day. We did pull the confirmations a day or so afterwards and were hoping U hadn’t seen them oooops! We’re sorry if U told ur friends and family & hope the u didn’t say no to any other schools in the 36-48 hours that it took us to inform u of this error oooops again!</p>
<p>U prolly shouldn’t have activated links before u actual received a snail mail notification though. What? Oh no, it was OK 4 the kids who ended up being admitted to register for Admitted students day and enjoy their Congratulation page and pick a orientaion day JUST NOT YOU cuz u really weren’t accepted.</p>
<p>listen, so even though we don;t think ur qualified, if u really wanna come, we’ll let u but u have to wear a giant letter G sewn onto all ur clothes for Glitch. This way u can take some responsibility for messin with those links when, unlike the other kidz who messed with em, u really weren’t accepted. Now we’d really appreciate it if you say nice things about us on that forum OK? And be sure to have all ur friends who think they got in to DOUBLE Check."</p>
<p>I can’t imagine them not offering u admission. MayB they’ll throw in some cash? If you all disappear we know u ben bought off.</p>
<p>This situation can only be described as a *****show for everyone – students, parents and ud. Everyone loses. I am a parent and confused beyond comprehension. When we login it says:</p>
<p>Hello Bill!</p>
<p>Join our Exclusive Facebook Group for Admits!
We’ve created a Facebook group just for you and other new admits to UD. Log in here to meet other admitted students to UD and start the conversation now. Ask questions of one another, share ideas, and get excited about your future together!</p>
<p>Is my son accepted or is this part of the mess being described on this thread? I feel awful for the students and parents who have been sent to the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Sending positive vibes from Boston to everyone in the middle of the firestorm.</p>
<p>likelyhood - thanks for making me laugh!!! Through all this baloney, I for one appreciate your humor! (are you secretly from New York like me 
)</p>
<p>In all fairness, vivalaslex, it would not be fair to admit those students because they responded early. There are plenty of us who intended to respond but had to wait - who would have thought that a day or two would have made a difference, right?</p>
<p>Penn state can do that - they have 19 campuses all over Pa. and they could’ve put those kids anywhere (Altoona, for instance) - I seriously doubt they all got into University Park off the bat.</p>
<p>I am going to try to put this to rest at least until tomorrow. Not sure if I even want to look at that Blue Hen page. I’m thinking Admissions will be bombarded with phone calls and emails…</p>
<p>I do agree about the PSU thing, but just because some of us responded right off the bat doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be considered for admission. I can only hope the best for all the prospective students, and I wish the rest could do the same for us. In fairness to the university, they have no idea who truly saw it except for the people that successfully made the reservation for admitted students day. I know tons of people who didn’t even notice the decision day invitation. I just hope it all works out and that the University does the right thing!</p>
<p>I believe that Registering for DD and receiving a confirmation is probably a significant factor from a legal perspective. The confirmation directly substantiated/confirmed the legitimacy of the “Congratulations” statement. I believe that is why UD decided to address this issue with these 11 students first. How they will address the situation with students who received the “Congratulation” statement and did not register for DD remains to be seen. I would not want to be the person answering the phone in the Admission’s Department tomorrow. I’m sure they are working with their legal team to figure this out right now (this is going to be much more complicated). I would like to add as a parent of a UD graduate (class of 2010) that during my D’s 4 years at UD I never felt that the University exhibited any behaviors that I felt were questionable or underhanded in any way. I suspect this glitch was probably as disturbing to them as to the students affected. However, you must keep in mind that nowadays all these types of issues have to be addressed from a legal perspective in regards to any statements released to the general public in any arena (I’m not saying I agree with this). As was said in Star Wars “this ain’t over yet”</p>
<p>u guessed it, the empire state! Someone asked if they could access the actual kids that saw & opened that congrats page.that would b cool. even if they got wait-listed, they could go to the top? Its gotta b possible? Since they cant fix or admit everyone, offering something even to the eleven i think would show a little good faith. id rather see 11 people, at least our cc friends get some justice. scientifically, they can prove they saw both congrats pages. its the least they can do & it would go a little way in improving their image during this debacle. they know the world is watching and years from now cc people will post links n articles about the UD glitch the way we did w the san diego & psu stories. WE’LL B Famous!</p>
<p>likelyhood-LOL! A little humor this weekend is much needed. Not sure how these conversations will go, what can they say?</p>
<p>1) Too bad, sorry you told every living soul you know that you got in and started picking out UD wear while shredding your other acceptances, thanks for making us your #1 choice by the way, but you didn’t get in and you should have known that invitation on your page wasn’t for you.</p>
<p>2) We goofed, we didn’t really want you, but as this has become a bit of an embarrassment, we’ll take you now, enjoy the next four years knowing we really don’t want you, and if, by chance, another glitch occurs during your time here, rest assured we’ll blame you first and settle things later.</p>
<p>3) We goofed and to be honest, looking over your admissions packet again, while we did get a huge number of great applications this year and felt the need to waitlist and deny some great kids, given the circumstances we created we want to honor the offer your received and let you know we believe you will do well here and be a great addition to the UD family!</p>
<p>Any other variations? Only one really works…</p>
<p>“This way u can take some responsibility for messin with those links when, unlike the other kidz who messed with em, u really weren’t accepted.”</p>
<p>HAH HAH HAH HAH U reckon University of Delware is laughing at this stuff? </p>
<p>“Hey Bob” we got to have legal re work the script, they just printed it word for word on the damn college confidential site." </p>
<p>I</p>
<p>How about everybody pays for their tuition with Monopoly money?</p>
<p>My DD is one of the students whose acceptance was there, then disappeared. We did not immediately sign up for a DD as I was at work and she was out with her friends. We were going to do it at 11 pm that evening when we both got home. Who knew?<br>
They CAN identify everyone who saw the fake admission, whether they admit it or not. This really is a hot mess no matter how you look at it. I am happy that they finally chose to respond, but incredibly disappointed that they are blaming the prospective students for THEIR mistake.
We did not get an email stating that we would get a phone call on monday, but really? My DD will be in school and I will be at work, so… My DD has learned early on about the unfairness of life (see my other posts) and really, in the scheme of things, she has way more on her plate than this. If she is waitlisted, she will accept as she really wanted to go to UDel. Her brother goes there and we have never had any issues.<br>
For all those who are in - congrats!! You will have a great time. To all those who have suffered a great disappointment, I truly believe that you will end up where you are meant to be. To likelyhood hahahahaha!! Thanks for making us laugh. And to Udel - the college community is watching how you handle this; and integrity still counts to a lot of people.</p>
<p>I am so happy to see some of you guys laugh and find some humor in what has been such a stressful couple of days for you guys. It shows each of you will wind up either at UD or somewhere else with character. Many of you I bet will be successful anywhere.</p>
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I called the Admissions Office this morning and they took down my name and number and said that a member of the Senior Staff would get back to me today. The student worker said that the advisors are answering calls in the order that they get them. Has anyone else gotten any further information yet?</p>
<p>All, I just got off the phone with Admissions Counselor - very nice man who spent about 15 minutes talking with me. He explained that there was a brief period (Friday) where about 65 students saw the link and should not have. As soon as they realized the error, they took it away. (He also explained a coding issue between testing development and live sites which I won’t go into but I do understand - IT stuff).
Counselor said ALL OOS decisions went out on Friday, regardless of status. He also told me the decision over the phone because of the mix-up. S did not get in so we’re off to West Chester (or maybe Rider). I think this may be a blessing in disguise because we don’t qualify for Financial Aid anyway. 
Good luck to all who got accepted and like I tell my son: “DON’T DRINK and DON’T DO DRUGS and CALL YOUR MOTHER EVERY DAY!” (well, maybe everyother day… )</p>
<p>Doris- Best of luck to your son and thanks for sharing!!</p>
<p>Daughter just texted me, was called and told she did not get in, will not talk about what was said, too upset. Hopefully I’ll find out more later.</p>
<p>bluemomo, so sorry. Did they call your daughter at school, midday, and tell her? That’s pretty upsetting for them to do that.
DorisFiona, your S is blessed with you for his mom! He’ll take his lead from your positive energy and go places for sure!!!</p>
<p>bluemomo- Sorry…is she in school right now?!? Did she pick this time to get the call? Extra hugs when she gets home…</p>
