George Washington University had a "slight" glitch when they inadvertently sent out congratulatory e-mails to a group of students who had been rejected to the school. They soon sent out a follow-up e-mail to acknowledge their mistake and to point out that the students were really not accepted. This article gives more details about this mistake. I just can't imagine dealing with the kids who were disappointed, excited, and confused all at the same time. (Unfortunately, it is also not the first time I have heard of mistakes like this happening.)
The automatic emails from this site are no longer happening. You can receive posts from the new site - www.wkhscounselors.wordpress.com. I've written 3,951 posts since launching this site which is pretty crazy. I appreciate everyone who has followed along the way. The new site is a way for all WKHS students and families to gather the information and not just "my" families. So please, join us there. And know I appreciate you still coming back to read the updates.
