Now I am not usually the one to criticize, but seriously......The prestigious UC San Diego gets my award for "Most Negligent University Staff". NBC posted an interesting news article today reporting a hugggeee oops! by UCSD staff.
"On Tuesday, the school's communications office said an e-mail was sent Monday afternoon to all 46,377 students who applied for admission -- including the 29,000 rejects -- welcoming them to the campus. A half-hour later, school officials said, they realized their mistake. Almost two hours after the first note went out, a second e-mail was sent, apologizing to 28,889 freshmen applicants for the mistake."
Okay, first thing -- since when do colleges send acceptance emails. Haha. That is how you know the economy is realllly bad. They can't even send you a letter to reject you!
And honestly, if I got a rejection email, I would totally reply "Why not?" to whoever sent it to me! Did they think of that? LOL
But the worst thing about this article is how NBC commented on the "emotional roller coaster" this major error may have caused.
People! this is your chance! Sue UCSD for that emotional distress.!!! I'm kidding! But seriously, somebody needs to be fired in the next hour or so -- and NBC should write another article about this! Don't worry, I'll update you if they do. : )
Thank you Stevens for showing your love to the accepted and the rejected with paper letters. : )
