They 'accepted' every applicant.

There oughtta be some penalty for this...

You noticed this was undergrad applicants, right? Not that it makes it any better, just less relevant to these forums.

[sfox]

that's so crazy!!!

[flit]

yikes...that is a BIG oops

I wonder if the second email said APRIL FOOLS!

[monkeefugg]

wtf do you mean 'less relevant'

moron

Ummm, first of all don't call people names.

Second of all, this is a site about graduate school and graduate school applications. So, this unfortunate mistake in UNDERGRADUATE applications isn't all the relevant. Similar things on a smaller scale have happened in graduate admissions, but this thread didn't mention them.

Well that certainly answers my question.

I got a rejection from one school about a week ago. Then suddenly today I receive an email congratulating me on my acceptance and giving me student ID information. Guess now I should keep on mourning...

[monkeefugg]

if you think the mere fact that the story pertained to undergraduate admissions renders it 'irrelevant' to this forum, you ARE a moron

don't tell me not to 'call people names'

I'd call and ask what's up, just to be sure. Who knows.

You are missing the point and being immature.

There are various cases of this happening in graduate admissions that could have been posted here. Or the OP could have said something, anything, about graduate admissions in the original post. But, as it is, it's entirely about undergrad admissions, which is not what this site is about. Sorry if wanting to stay on topic in a forum other than The Lobby makes me "a moron" in your view.

We have become aware of a clerical error that may cause some confusion. Many of you were previously informed by our office that we either were unable to offer you admission at this time; or we offered you a place on our wait list. The letter you received today via email was sent in error. We recognize the impact of this mistake and extend our sincere apologies and deepest regrets. Unfortunately, your previous decision is final and must remain. For those of you who wish to remain on the wait list, we intend to be in touch with you in June.

LOL. If I wasn't in to my first choice school, I would be very pissed indeed.

NYU, this is terrible! Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?

I hope so. It'd be a very cruel joke :evil:
