I didn't expect to send the offer wrong thing, and the G5 school UCL could not avoid it!
Recently, many students who applied for UCL received an offer email, but a closer look at the email found that they "exceeded the quota".
"Congratulations on your PhD from the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction at University College London."
The friends who received the email are stupid, no! Obviously, the application is a master's degree, how to send a doctoral admission, and this major has nothing to do with the major you applied for!
Before the students could relax, UCL's second email came, this time it was an apology email, the last email was wrong...
"Dear students,
We are writing to apologize to you for recently receiving an email about pursuing a research degree at the Risk and Disaster Reduction Institute.
We recognize that this can cause confusion. We have reviewed our email protocol to prevent further failures in the future. We express our most sincere apologies to you and wish you all the best in the future. Kind regards. ”
Of course, when everyone is wrong, sending the wrong offer can not be the unique skill of UCL, such as last year's UAL sent the wrong offer, and then also explained the email to sell Cute love packs.
You are this poor baba expression released, who can blame him...
The United Kingdom is bustling here, and it is also a country frequented by international students - the United States is not far away.
In recent years, American universities can really love to "joke", and from time to time they will send offers by mistake, making people happy for three seconds and hating things for a lifetime!
And this year's offer oolong event, the University of Kentucky achieved the first place.
A high school student named Mary suddenly shouted excitedly at home the other day: "Mom! Mom! I was accepted to the University of Kentucky! Mom..."
"Really?! That's great! ”
A minute later
"Mom, am I not applying to the University of Kentucky"
"I remember it too..."
The above dialogue is not a paragraph, but a real event. Mary received an acceptance letter for clinical leadership and management in the University of Kentucky's College of Health Sciences, but after a while she remembered that she hadn't applied at all.
Could it be someone else's prank? To find out, Mary and her mother also looked closely at the email and confirmed that it was from the school.
However, although it was an email from the school, as many as 500,000 high school students received the same email as Mary.
The students who received the acceptance emails were basically like Mary, and many of them had never applied to these schools, or even landed on the school's website.
Another student who received the email said: "After I received the email, I also went to check it out, wow, this school really exists."
With 500,000 admissions, this thing is certainly impossible to happen, because the Number of high school graduates in the United States this year is only about 4 million.
Sure enough, not a day later, the University of Kentucky withdrew the email and sent a letter of apology, which basically meant: Sorry, hand slip...
In addition to the apology email, the head of the University of Kentucky also came forward and said: "We only want to send admissions to 30 students, and we apologize for sending the wrong email." ”
As for why it was wrong, the person in charge said "technical problems".
All right! Angry things have been done by you, but you never expected that the back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave, and the front wave was still coming after the wave!
A few days later, there was such a farce at the College of William and Mary.
Last week, 350 high school graduates received admission to the school's public policy program!
As an Ivy League school, it must be very happy to be admitted by the school, but these 350 students are very sad, because the next day they received a notice from the school saying that yesterday's admission email was sent incorrectly.
ay! What could be more sad than that?
One second the excitement is extreme, the next second it will hit you to the bottom? When will the operation of the school sloppy be finished, it is not easy to apply for a small partner, and the quick-acting heart-saving pills can not be slowed down!
