Carnegie-Mellon Sends Hundreds of Acceptance Letters By Mistake
An anonymous reader writes As reported in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Carnegie-Mellon University mistakenly sent 800 acceptances for its Master of Science in Computer Science program. They're not saying "computer error," but what are the other explanations? High irony all around. The program accepts fewer than nine percent of more than 1,200 applicants, which places the acceptance level at about a hundred, so they're bad at math, too.
Imagine their disappointment when they only get an apology and no scholarship! The emotional damages must cost millions.
I'm a PhD in CompSci, not a software engineer!
Code Monkey get up get coffee...
It already did something positive: It saved them from a useless degree.

FUCK YOU, Rob, you sad McJob manager! I just got into Carnegie-Mellon's CS program for grad school! So you can SUCK MY DICK, Rob! And that goes for you too Stacey! This motherfucker right here is GOING PLACES, BITCH! So you can shove this smock right up your tight asses! And don't look to see me again, 'cause I'm going to be in Pittsburg getting my Masters on!
Oh look, I just got another letter from them. Must be to congratulate me AGAIN! Let's open it up, so I can shove it right in your FAT FACES!
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Maybe he works in my building. Nothing is ever anything other than computer error, as far as everyone other than me is concerned.
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
Well most of them were not smart enough to get into Carnegie-Mellon. That's sort of the point.
Still, it comes down to an error in their process. I'd bump them down to a CMM Level of 1.
Have gnu, will travel.
They wanted to be damn sure you didn't show up!
