Syracuse University Mistakenly Sends Out Dozens of Acceptance Letters

A major blunder by Syracuse University due to a technical error. The school mistakenly sent dozens of emails on Thursday evening congratulating applicants on their acceptance to the university, along with visa transfer instructions intended for international students.

According to Maurice A. Harris, dean of admissions at the university, acceptance letter which was intended to be distributed to a very small number of people was mistakenly sent to dozens of recipients.

 However, a follow up email was sent to address this error. “due to an error with our technology, this message was sent to you, as well as several others, none of whom were intended to receive this notification…” said Harris.

This mistake isn’t the first of its kind in higher education. In 2015, Carnegie Mellon’s admission office mistakenly sent acceptance letters to 800 applicants to the school’s prestigious master’s program in computer science — only to reject them hours later.

Harris went on to apologize for the mistake and assured people that the school has taken measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
