On Friday, around 4 p.m., 122 students who had applied for binding early admission to Vassar saw what the school later called a “test letter” congratulating them on their acceptance. Hours later, the students received a message saying the letter had been posted in error. Once the correct decisions were displayed, only 46 of the students were told they had been accepted.
Ouch. I remember my Vassar tour — the tour guide had a double major in what might as well have been “Probably Didn’t Get a Job After College” and “Can’t Pay Off Loans.”
