Oops!!

The University of California at San Diego mistakenly congratulated nearly 29,000 applicants on their acceptance earlier this month.

17,000 students were chosen as accepted students in the class of 2013, resulting in nearly 29,000 hopefuls being denied admission.

However, the school's communications office confirmed that a congratulatory e-mail was sent to all 46,377 students who applied for admission -- including the 29,000 who were rejected -- welcoming them to the campus.

A half-hour later, school officials said, they realized their mistake. Almost two hours after the first note went out, a second e-mail was sent, apologizing to 28,889 freshmen applicants for the mistake.
