Chandler: What you said above is not true: "I think UCSD failed the most... I can't imagine getting an acceptance email and then, 2 hours later, getting rejected. "
The facts: On March 14, UCSD correctly released results (admits, rejects) for over 47,000 applicants. Then on March 28 or so, the school wanted to send a reminder of Admit Day on April 4 to all 16000 ADMITTED. Instead it sent the reminder to all APPLICANTS, a case of using the wrong database. Two hours later, an email of apology was sent to ALL those who were wrongly addressed.
All those who checked their "MyApplication" on UCSD on March 28 still saw their original Admit/Reject Status. No one but the most naive would have believed this was anything but a mistake.
Unfortunate incident to be sure. But not one where the wrong status was communicated for the first time to 47,000 applicants.
