SINGAPORE - Sixteen student hopefuls mistakenly received acceptance letters to Republic Polytechnic (RP), with the school withdrawing the letters and apologising for the error.
One of them, who gave her name only as Ms Hou, told Lianhe Wanbao in a report on Sunday (April 22) that she was surprised to receive her letter of acceptance.
However, on her first day at school, she was told that her grades did not make the cut, and her placement was therefore withdrawn.
RP's registrar, Mr Shanmugasundar W, told The Straits Times on Monday that they apologised to Ms Hou for "the mistake we made in evaluating her application to Republic Polytechnic (RP), which resulted in her placement in the polytechnic being withdrawn on her first day of school".
