Jara123, this is clearly bothering you very much. As others have pointed out, this is likely the result of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, which happens often in college admissions. You have an office with 30 people attempting to evaluate 60,000 applicants (most of them qualified) in order to enroll a class of roughly 6,000 freshmen that make sense intellectually, socially, demographically etc…Mistates will happen. Carnegie Mellon sent acceptances in error to 800 applicants earlier this year and had to recant on them afterwards.

And that’s CMU, which receives fewer than 20,000 applications. It only gets harder with 60,000 applications.

That being said, you really seem very disturbed by this. If you consider Michigan’s admissions inconsistancies to be an irrevocable breach of trust, perhaps you are better off sending your daughter to another university that you consider more trustworthy.
