The technology is great when it works, but it has gotten some colleges into hot water because of mix-ups in electronic acceptance letters. Last month, George Washington University made a major boo-boo when it accidentally E-mailed acceptance messages to nearly 200 rejected applicants. A quick apology was sent via E-mail to the students who received the accidental acceptances. A similar mistake was made at the University of California–San Diego last year.

Wow! I can't believe that George Washington and UCSD made such a boo-boo! It would feel horrible to receive an acceptance and then a rejection...

sent a scarf. Probably not the best thing to remind admitted students that it's in the snowbelt.
