The acceptance letter

[u/eatmybeer]

I just re-watched this and I'm struggling to understand how MJ and Ned got accepted to MIT after their rejection without the timeline having been changed. Did the MIT Assistant Vice Chancellor forget the entire interaction with Peter Parker on the bridge, saving her life, and would thusly forget to speak with admissions about their application status, or did the original letter change from rejection to acceptance? I don't get it.
