Our son’s stint at
UC-San Diego was everything that we wished for: challenging academics, a diverse population of talented students, and a beautiful campus in La Jolla. We made every excuse to visit him and undoubtedly enjoyed our trips more than he did.
Graduation last year was both a happy and sad occasion---happy because of his accomplishment (but also the cessation of tuition, room, and board expense) and sad because the San Diego chapter of his life had ended.
We can only imagine the disappointment that befell nearly 29,000 students and their families when they received
an erroneous acceptance e-mail from UCSD. [Poetic license with post title: the e-mail was sent a couple of days ago.] Thank the stars such a mistake didn’t happen to us, and from a self-interested standpoint let’s hope the story has no legs---wouldn't want to diminish the value of his degree!
