Oops is now a Carnegie Mellon term

Tessa Berenson has a Time article about a little clerical error at Rico's alma mater:

Applicants to the school's master's program in computer science were in for an emotional rollercoaster:

“You are one of the select few, less than nine percent of the more than twelve hundred applicants, that we are inviting. Welcome to Carnegie Mellon!” read the first email.

The second had a less optimistic subject line: 

“CORRECTION OF PRIOR EMAIL / REVOCATION OF OFFER OF ADMISSION TO MS IN CS PROGRAM.”

The Carnegie Mellon admissions office mistakenly sent an acceptance email to about eight hundred applicants to the master’s program in computer science, Bloomberg reports. This error, unfortunately, isn’t uncommon. Time’s Katy Steinmetz has written a history of college admissions mistakes, and as she says: “This kind of spirit-crushing mixup has become a nearly annual rite of college admissions, particularly since application processes went electronic in the early 2000s.”

Rico says he got in, but they'll get over it...
