What a big mistake-900 students wrongly told they got into UCLA
Welcome to the Bruin Family -- or not. UCLA is apologizing for mistakenly telling 894 high school seniors that they were admitted to the highly competitive school when they were actually still on the waiting list.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the school sent an email about financial aid awards last weekend to the students. The email included a line congratulating them on being admitted.
When the school found out about the mistake, it sent messages on Monday telling the 894 that they were on the waiting list for admission, The Times reported. The note also included an apology. UCLA spokesman Ricardo Vazquez attributed the mix-up to human error, telling the newspaper: “We realize this is a particularly anxious and stressful time for students and their families as they try to make decisions about college admissions. We sincerely apologize for this mistake that may have led some of them to think they were admitted when they remain on the waiting lists.” Vazquez said updated notices of provisional financial aid were sent Saturday and Sunday to thousands of admitted students, but mistakenly went out to waiting-list students as well. The notice included the line: "Once again congratulations on your admission to UCLA, we hope that this information will assist you in making your decision to join the Bruin Family in the fall.” Kathy Lam, a high school senior from Elk Grove , Calif.

"The youngest child attempted to help his father and when his father's back was turned, he picked a branch up and fed it into the chipper when he was pulled into the chipper," State Police Lt. Paul Vance said. The father owns a tree removal service and brought his three children to the house where he was performing tree work. Police received a 911 call at reporting that reporting a child had been seriously injured in the yard of a private home. The fire chief is a neighbor and was the first to respond. "The family lives right across the street from me. I saw what we had, and I kept everyone away," said Chief Gene Maiorano.
Officials are investigating the incident, but they said it appears to be a tragic accident.
