SAN DIEGO—
Oops, they did it again.Just two months after mistakenly congratulating nearly 29,000 rejected applicants on their acceptance, comes word that it's happened again.
More than 600 transfer students initially listed as rejected have actually been accepted to the university, according to a report in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
UCSD officials told the paper that the mistake an "administrative error."
The university will be notifying all of the students affected this week, according to the assistant of vice chancellor for admissions, Mae Brown.
In late March, about 17,000 students were offered admission for the fall, leaving nearly 29,000 applicants looking for new schools.
But the school's communications office said an e-mail was sent to all 46,377 students who applied for admission -- including the 29,000 rejects.
Two hours after the first note went out, a second e-mail was sent, apologizing to rejected freshmen for the mistake.
