British University Sends Out 2,500 Acceptance Notices in Error
Cutbacks in public financing for higher education are expected to mean that record numbers of British students will fail to secure a place at a university this autumn, and thanks to a computer glitch, for 2,500 students who had applied to the University of Middlesex, the wait has become a whole lot harder.
The applicants were erroneously notified that they had been admitted to the university, CNN reports. The students had already been conditionally accepted, but the final decision will depend on the grades they receive in the national A-level exams, which are not scheduled to be released until next week. According to CNN, "the university said it has sent both text and e-mail notifications to affected applicants clarifying the situation last week."
