The affected students who applied for admission for the 2024-25 school year received a welcome email from the university on April 29, congratulating them on their acceptance. However the university said the students, who had incomplete applications, received the welcome email by mistake.
A university spokesperson stated that the 1,500 students received 'communication from an academic department' welcoming students intending to major in their prospective academic area. A follow-up communication was sent the next day explaining the error and encouraging application completion.
Some applicants, like Vanessa Peters' daughter, experienced disappointment as they celebrated acceptance prematurely. Peters mentioned her daughter's initial thrill followed by the realization that the acceptance email was erroneously sent.
