Olsen Twins College Rumor is Revealed as Bitter Web Hoax

Claims that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have applied and been admitted to various colleges, including Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Cincinnati, University of Miami and University of Dayton, have run rampant on the Web this week.
The colleges’ admissions boards were swamped with calls when emails linked to a phony CNN Website announced the Olsens had been admitted to various schools. The site has since been removed from the Web.
An email announcing the Olsens’ acceptance to Rochester Institute of Technology in said the twins picked the school for its strong academic reputation and excellent business program. Pagnotta was falsely quoted as saying the girls were looking “for a school where they would not be distracted by the glitz of Hollywood and could focus on long term career goals.”
Instead, the former Full House stars, who are only high school juniors, are “studying for their SATs,” says the real Pagnotta.
