Incredible

This morning I received an email from Valencia. It said sorry after reviewing your records, you didn't graduate. Now I had been working with a woman all summer long who was on top of things who had told me the week previously all was fine. I sent a short note back telling Mr Edwin Sanchez to check his records as they were missing something.

Almost immediately I got an email saying they were wrong and all was fine. I am incredulous that they don't have a system to prevent something like this from happening. This mistake could have changed the outcome for graduation, college admissions, living arrangements, financial aid, etc. Clearly this was a significant error.

Not as bad as the UC San Diego error, but still pretty bad.

EDIT: 8/21 When I was at the orientation this afternoon, there were four other people who also received this letter. This was apparently a wide-spread mistake of colossal proportions.
