<p>I just got taken off the waitlist at Hampshire College. I had gotten into Bard, which is obviously a much, much better school, but I really liked Hampshire. I emailed them to see why I was waitlisted and they told me they felt my analytical essay (they required a paper from school) could have been better. I recently just sent in a new one and the officer told me it was "really fabulous" and now am accepted.</p>
