AOHell
David Farber transmitted a hilarious report yesterday about AOL. According to the Associated Press, about 100 Harvard applicants never received email notification of whether they'd been accepted or rejected by the ivy league school because AOL bounced the emails back to Harvard as spam. Harvard started sending admissions emails this year because of the Anthrax snail-mail scares but will return to sending notification through the USPS because of the AOL spam brouhaha. While about 6,000 emails were sent and almost 100 were rejected (less than 2%), this is pretty silly. Just goes to show that people applying to Harvard should probably be smart enough not to use AOL.
