<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a reporter with the Philadelphia Inquirer, and I'm writing a story about the difficult admissions season and the many students who are now stuck on wait lists. If you're on the wait list at a Philadelphia-area school, we'd love to hear your story. I can be reached at <a href="mailto:pkerkstra@phillynews.com">pkerkstra@phillynews.com</a>, or through the College Confidential messaging system.</p>
<p>Thanks very much.</p>
