MBA News: You Got Into Kellogg…. Ummm…Actually, You Didn’t.

This morning, the Chicago Tribune reported an embarrassing glitch that occurred in Kellogg’s Admissions Office—50 students who had been rejected by the Admissions Committee were inadvertently emailed acceptance letters on Monday. One student was so excited by the news that he and his family went out for a congratulatory dinner, only to find out the next day that he had in fact been rejected. Admissions Director Beth Flye is calling all 50 students to apologize personally and is refunding their application fees. Still, one can’t imagine the disappointment these MBA candidates are feeling right now.
