Very sorry to hear about your situation. I remember a post earlier this admission season that sounds remarkably similar, so i'll leave the school out just in case... but do reapply! They will remember you given the circumstances, and that can only be a good thing provided you exercise a bit of diplomacy and avoid venting if/when you talk to the Dean. Best of luck to you, sincerely.

Thank you everyone, for your responses and for your words of support. This was the only program I had applied to - was selective as I already have a Masters degree in a different field from another leading university. I was quick to share the short lived 'good news' with family, close friends and my recommendation providers. Everyone seems to be so surprised that a world class school could do this. I am unsure exactly what transpired - there was a nice personalized note at the bottom of the offer letter; so am inclined to think it was not a systems or a process error. Will try inquiring after this admissions season is over. If it was because of any perceived deficiency in my application that they discovered after the initial decision - will try to address that and apply again. If they refuse to discuss or provide feedback, I will just accept it is not the place for me and move on. It surely is hurting now, but hopefully it will not after some time.

I received an admission from a top ranked school (not naming it here) for an MPP. It was followed by a piece of communication the same week informing that the admission notification was sent in error. Anyone else has had or heard of a similar experience ? Any advice on what I should do ? I guess not much if they do not want me. - Perplexed and Distressed
