4,000 students wrongly get college admission email in UK
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), a UK-based non-profit organisation, wrongly e-mailed 4,100 students informing them they had been accepted to study at Newcastle or Northumbria universities. UCAS, whose main role is to operate the application process for British universities, apologised to the students and informed them of the error. The students will know their acceptance status in mid-August.
