punctuation

You forgot the comma after "me" at the end of your second sentence, smart ass.

..

"truly" not "truely"

UCSD mistake

I was one of the people who recieved this email. yes, i got denied to attend UCSD but i am glass because I am a happy bruuin=] woohoo UCLAAA! ..

When i read the email I was likee what it's a little to late for us to get acceptance emails! and quicklt went off to read the apology. They should use other words they seeem harsh on students.

THERE ARE ENOUGH HOURS AND SEATS TO TEACH ALL THESE KIDS. I CHALLENGE ANYBODY WHO SAYS OTHERWISE. I HAVE SAT IN THOSE LARGE HALF EMPTY LECTURE HALLS TO KNOW. CHARGE THEM HALF PRICE AND SEND OUT GREAT GRADS IN FOUR YEARS. NO MISTAKE IN THAT. - A. ABRAHAM of IL

Your ability to add punctuation and capitalization to a paragraph astounds me sir. You truely are an excellent example of the student body at your university.

Re: Abraham's comment

There are not enough seats in our lecture halls to seat more students. It is not uncommon to step into a class and see a few students sitting on the stairs because there are no open seats left, in fact. Accepting more students wouldn't help the terribly limited parking and dorm situations at UCSD, either!
