LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A recent error by the University of Kentucky led to a little over half a million prospective students mistakenly getting acceptance emails.
UK spokesperson Jay Blanton says an email was sent through UK’s “customer relationship management” tool.
Only a handful of those on the list had been admitted to UK.
Blanton says they apologize for the error, and urge students to contact them if there is any confusion.
