LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) â The University of Kentucky mistakenly sent acceptance emails to 500,000 high school seniors for a program that usually accepts about three dozen students a year.
The school followed up with another email less than 24 hours later and apologized for its mistake, citing a âtechnical issue,â WLEX-TV reported.
âOnly a handful of those on the prospect list had been admitted to UK,â UK spokesman Jay Blanton said. âThe vast majority had not, nor had the vast majority of these students expressed an interest in the program. Nevertheless, we regret the communication error and have sent correspondence to all those who were contacted, offering our apologies.â
