CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WHDH) -- MIT’s business school didn't count on such a big incoming class this year.

According to the Wall Street Journal, more students enrolled than expected.

To fix the math mistake, the school offered guaranteed admission next year and $20,000 dollars off tuition to the first ten students who responded, agreeing to defer school for year.

Only four people accepted.
