How would you like it if this happened to you on April Fool's day as you're applying to medical school?

NEW YORK -New York University officials weren't laughing when hundreds of people mistakenly received word that they'd been accepted to grad school on April Fools' Day.


NYU says it sent out acceptance e-mails April 1 to 489 applicants to the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Those applicants should have received rejection letters instead.
The school sent out a second e-mail about an hour later to the applicants, saying they hadn't been accepted after all.
NYU spokesman Robert Polner blamed the mixup on a clerical error. He says the school apologizes for the mistaken e-mails and is looking into it to prevent it from happening again.

Didn't this happen at one of the UCs for undergrad admission recently too? I would be pissed...lol

Yea, UCSD undergrad totally won on this one. They sent out acceptance emails to all 40k applicants instead of the 18k accepted. Whoops.

My response would be nothing but a bunch of expletives and maybe some things around the house I may break. On second thought, that would be a very expensive tantrum.
