There's nothing more nerve-wracking than waiting for that hopeful college acceptance letter… but what if you receive one that isn't meant for you?
The State University of New York-Buffalo made a big oopsy daisy, accidentally sending out 5,109 acceptance letters to prospective students.
Unfortunately, the decision of whether those students had been accepted or not hadn't even been made yet. John DellaContrada, the Associate Vice President for Media Relations said in a statement:
The University at Buffalo sincerely regrets this error, as well as any stress it may have caused students and families who received the letters.
The miscommunication occurred when an incorrect email list was generated from an applicant database. Within three to four hours following the discovery of this error, the university emailed a letter of explanation to the recipients, offering its sincerest apologies to those who were affected.
The university’s Office of Enrollment Management has taken immediate steps to ensure that errors of this kind will not occur in the future.
