Manhattan, NY – New York University officials weren’t laughing when hundreds of people mistakenly received word that they’d been accepted to grad school on April Fools’ Day.

NYU says it sent out acceptance e-mails to 489 applicants to the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Those applicants should have received rejection letters instead.
The school sent out a second e-mail about an hour later to the applicants, saying they hadn’t been accepted after all.
NYU spokesman Robert Polner blamed the mixup on a clerical error. He says the school apologizes for the mistaken e-mails and is looking into it to prevent it from happening again.
weird
they should be embarassed of them selves if some one got the letter saying they were accepted prob told the whole world and was celebrating then an hour later gets one that they were not accepted shame on the school
they should sue the school
#4 – Sue them for WHAT? People like you are leeches on society, and drive up the costs of just about everything in this country.
Perhaps not sue them, but NYU should at least refund the application fee.
