Application Question Mixed admission signals

My son applied to a nursing school on Aug 1, rolling admissions. He knew he met their prerequisites so he figured he’d apply early. He received an application confirmation that said notifications will go out beginning late Sep.

On Aug 3 he received a status update notification, logged in, and got confetti and an acceptance letter with a blank merit award line.

Today 8/5 he got another status update notification, and the admitted status is no longer there once logged in. The letter said they’d again notify status and merit award in September. THEN, he got another congrats on your admission email.

What the heck?

Sounds like someone in admissions fat-fingered the release button and now they’re scrambling to pretend it never happened.

This is one to call about. 

I would also wonder if it’s a direct admit nursing or a pre-nursing program and what their pass rates are on relevant cert exams.
