They massively overadmitted, yes, but that wasn't the plan at all. Correctly identifying the matriculation rate is extremely difficult when most students are applying to 10-20 colleges, and of course only attending one. The obvious recourse would be to rescind admission for thousands of students, but the ill will generated by such an action would be extreme, as all the matriculants would have already lost the opportunity to attend the other colleges they were accepted to.
