University of Delaware Computer Glitch Results in Erroneous Acceptances
Delaware admisions officials had an "oops" moment when 61 applicants received notices that they had been accepted, when in reality they had either been designated for the waiting list or rejected. Before the error was discovered, 12 of the students had registered for a campus information session and tour. Caught on their heels, admissions officials scheduled calls with each of the infamous 61, and pledged to re-read the applications if the waiting list comes into play. Surprisingly, this kind of event is uncommon, despite the electronic age and instant notification of admission decisions. That does little to soothe those applicants who received the email and registered for the information session and tour, making an already stressful college decision season more so.

Advance Placement (AP) exams will be given this week and next week, May 7-18. These exams are crucial, as colleges generally weigh students' exam scores as part of the admissions process. High AP exam scores (typically 3-5, more often 4-5) can also allow students to place out of certain college courses and obtain credit towards the graduation requirement. Good luck to all!!
