University blunder leaves students heartbroken

About two hours after the invites were sent, a second mass email was sent, disinviting the students.
UCSD admissions director Mae Brown told the Times the initial invitation had been an "administrative error" sent to the entire applicant pool of more than 46,000 instead of the 18,000 who had been admitted.
"We accessed the wrong database," Brown told The Times. "We recognize the incredible pain receiving this false encouragement caused. It was not our intent."
