‎I'm glad I got to read this post since I recently didn't get into HS for this summer.

I don't think I'm worried that they may have made a mistake with my application because I'm worth the time, or other self affirming points (blah blah blah). Although, it would have been nice if they mentioned what exactly made them feel like I wasn't a good fit so I could work on that. I get that it's not always possible since they probably get a huge number of applications to go through.

It seems like they do a lot of introspection which I like to see - gives you a sense of what kind of people they are and makes me want to go there even more.

EDIT: Grammar

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm sorry things didn't work out this time around :\

Regarding feedback: We tried to give individualized feedback up until last year, but we stopped doing it because it took a ton of time and wasn't particularly effective. We wrote about this here: https://www.hackerschool.com/feedback

Thanks for link. It would be great to add that to future emails so people understand the use of a generic email.

Impressed as always!
