UC San Diego sends wrong e-mail to rejected students | L.A. Now | Los Angeles Times

UC San Diego Admissions Director Mae Brown said this morning that an ?administrative error? was responsible for a bogus e-mail that went out to 28,000 students congratulating them on their admission and welcoming them to the campus.

The applicants had been denied admission by the university earlier in the month. Someone accidentally sent the e-mail to the entire applicant pool of 47,000 although it was intended for only the 18,000 students who got in, Brown said.

I feel bad for those kids, but that's pretty damn funny.
