A Massachusetts woman was 'over the moon' after she got into a law school she'd applied to twice. Five hours later, she — and about 4000 others — found out the acceptance was a mistake.

• After it was received, the acceptance email from Northeastern University's School of Law was withdrawn.

• The School of Law at Northeastern University sent 4,000 acceptance letters.

• According to NBC Boston, Papoutsakis is trying to make her acceptance seem legit.

A Massachusetts woman who was accepted into Northeastern University's School of Law was one of 205 applicants who had their acceptance letter withdrawn because of a technical error. Thousands of current and former applicants got the wrong email.

The single mother of four was thrilled when she received an email at 2 pm on Monday telling her she had been accepted to Northeastern University School of Law.

Papoutsakis said that he was over the moon. She told her friends and family that she received a Northeastern ID number and a merit scholarship.

According to the outlet, Papoutsakis had to pay a $500Enrollment Deposit and withdraw all other law school applications in order to be accepted.

Papoutsakis told Boston.com that it was very detailed.

Papoutsakis was unable to make her deposit due to a website error, and when she contacted the school, she received no response.

After five hours after she received an acceptance letter, Papoutsakis got an email from the school saying they were not going to give her a scholarship.

205 current applicants to the School of Law received an incorrect email notifying them of their acceptance into next year's class. According to Boston.com, Northeastern said in a statement that admissions decisions won't be finalized until the end of the academic year.

The Northeastern University School of Law accepted 234 students out of 3,877 applications.

The same email was sent to 3,930 Northeastern applicants who applied last year.

Papoutsakis told Boston.com that it was disappointing. It's ridiculous that an accredited, high-ranked university has a major glitch and takes five hours to realize. It's not going to cut it after such a detailed acceptance.

After her divorce and being homeless with her children, Papoutsaki tried again to apply to law school.

She told NBC Boston that she wanted to be able to do that. To show them that there is more than one way to achieve something. You are never too old to achieve a dream. I was able to give them three.

Papoutsakis wants to write a letter to Northeastern University and turn her acceptance into a mistake.

She said that she was a woman of color who ended up in a shelter, lost almost everything, and still has four children.

When contacted, Northeastern School of Law did not reply.
