    Default UCLA accidentally sends out acceptance letters to 900 students


    http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktl...,5396331.story

    "Whoops" is an understatement to what happened here. Can't imagine the sheer amount of pain and agony a good number of the affected students experienced, especially when competition to get into the nation's best universities are at an all-time high right now. If anything, this could be quite a bit of pain for their PR for some time to come.

    (For points of comparison: UCLA received about 90,000 applicants this year, surpassing last year's total applicants by a few thousand. Yet they only accept about 12,500 applicants every year).

    Though this isn't the first time that happened within the UC system. I remember when UCSD had their "I dun goofed" moment with a similar mistake they committed about 3 years ago. That was a massive PR disaster for UCSD that took time for them to repair. =\

    If anything, this should hurt their image, and show why you SHOULDN'T want to go there!

    Ouch...a couple people from my school has been accepted there. I thought it was weird so many people from the East coast got into there.

    It's an amazing school that I am proud to go to. This is an unfortunate instance, but hardly a "omg look they're so stupid why would you want to even go there in the first place" level goof. It happens. Get over it.

    The individual school systems within the UC School system dominate the national undergraduate college rankings. I don't mean dominate as in Ivy League tier, but for state schools they do incredibly well.
