<p>when does Macalester send out financial aid info? I got my acceptance today, but I’m worried about being able to attend.</p>
<p>Also, was anybody else’s acceptance letter addressed to their parents? I’m wondering if it’s not the official acceptance letter. Also, I was surprised to receive an email, since I heard Macalester didn’t send email notifications!</p>
<p>wisher810 - I got a letter today addressed to my parents, congratulating them on my acceptance. I got the email today as well. However, my official acceptance came Saturday. Maybe yours got mixed up in the mail somehow? Either way, sounds like you’re in. Congratulations!</p>
<p>DS got his acceptance Saturday and then today we had three piece of mail – one to parents, one talking about two scholarships he won and then a third thing. Can’t remember now what it was, but it wasn’t financial aid. :(</p>
<p>Do you know whether Mac sends decisions to intl students by regular mail or by FedEx?</p>
<p>^ I second that question. How come the Mac website has nothing on when the decisions are released? And, being an international, do you think the email or the letter will come out first?</p>
<p>yeah im intnl too ! i’m dying !!</p>
<p>When I called Mac, they said that we would get an email by the first week of April. Since decisions are released on the 30th, I’m betting I’ll get the email first. But that’s for Bosnian mail, which is slow and stupid.
Doubt it’s a FedEx, if you were referring to the overnight/speedy kind.</p>
<p>I just got my Financial Aid Package and it’s absolutely AMAZING! I LOVE MAC!</p>
<p>My son was admitted. Like some other people on this thread note though, the actual admissions letter/package from Macalester (which is in a slightly oversized envelope) arrived days after we received a few other letters from Mac (including one to the parents from the President of the College) which were written as if he we arleady admitted. Anyway, it all created some confusion, but we figured it out (we ended up calling them!). May have been a problem with the U.S. mail because the postmark was 3/17. Congrats to all who have been admitted, and good luck!</p>
<p>I havent got anything yet… international student</p>
<p>still waiting on mine as an international in singapore. apparently march 31st is the magic date, which will probably be april 1st here given the time difference. looks like mac is gonna be where im headed, after a rejection and waitlist from amherst and middlebury respectively. not expecting pomona or brown after that :(</p>
<p>March 30th…but what time? Does anyone know?
I don’t want to be shocked when the email arrives at my inbox.</p>
<p>Hey guys…
What time on March 30th are the decisions coming out?</p>
<p>I’m an International from Canada and I got an acceptance email at about 4:30 today. Hope that answers any questions.</p>
<p>Well I heard that the decision emails are coming out today and tomorrow. The admission committee is working very hard to have all the results posted before April 1st.</p>
<p>accepted as an international in singapore. got my email at 4:30 am local time this morning, so all of yours should be in or on their way soon 
good luck</p>
<p>I got in and am still not sure if I’ll go (I really like Mac but I’m waiting on some long shot schools)
BUT</p>
<p>I’m more biased toward Mac than I should be because of this video. I actually loled at it.</p>
