A gift for one of you lucky waitlistees:

<p>My spot.</p>

<p>Not that I'd give it away, if I could keep it. I'm not quite that generous. But now, at least, I can pretend I am, and am giving up a spot at a school like Swat out of the kindness of my heart. And now someone who deserves it more than I can go to their dream school.</p>

<p>Better luck to you than I with financial aid!</p>

<p>maybe23-I am sorry that the financial aid situation didn’t work out for you with Swarthmore. I think it’s unusual because they have a reputation of being generous and meeting all demonstrated need. Best of luck wherever you decide to enroll!</p>
