Another "Oops" For Kellogg

It wasn't too long ago representatives for the Kellogg School of Management were rushing to apologize for that infamous Field Museum kegger. Now, they're issuing even more apologies, this time to students who received acceptance letters even though they were actually rejected.

Northwestern officials described the error as a "technological glitch" isolated to the Kellogg school.

"It is a very unfortunate error," spokeswoman Megan Washburn said. "We are working to reach out to each [affected] candidate. ... It was 50 candidates, which is less than 1 percent of all applications that we will receive this season."

The school will reimburse each of the wrongly informed candidates their $235 application fee, she said.

Ouch, talk about crushing hopes and dreams.
