Psych! Fordham falsely tells 2,500 kids they made it

About 2,500 high school seniors who applied for early decision to Fordham University were told they had gotten into the competitive Jesuit college – only to learn their acceptance letters were sent out by mistake.

Red-faced Fordham officials told The New York Times, which broke the story, that a third-party contractor was to blame, and apologized for the goof.

“The University deeply regrets that some applicants were misled,” the school said in a statement.

“They deferred my application from early action to regular decision so I have to wait til April 1,” griped an applicant named Marisa on Twitter, one of many applicants who took to social media to complain.
