accepted!!! :) - financial aid question

<p>I'm absolutely estatic to have gotten into Mac, which is one of my top choices!! Now I'm just hoping I'll be able to attend, which depends on financial aid. Does anyone know when they'll send this out? I got my acceptance via email, and there was no mention of aid. Will this be in the packet they send by snail mail?</p>

<p>My son received his acceptance by snail mail . . . financial aid not included. It just stated he should be receiving it soon.</p>

<p>I got the same email, psychgirl. I'm assuming the fin aid info will be in the "paper documents" they said they'd send out in the next few days.</p>

<p>i need my financial aid notification asap...I want to make a decision between the offers i got!!lehigh looks the most appealing at the moment cuz of their aid-and i want to deposit quickly because housing is first come fist serve.but i like macalseter so much too,,i was counting on fin aid making the pick for me.this is so frustrating. plus,everything takes forever to get here,unless its fedex or dhl!!!what should i do??? should i email them?what would i say?</p>

<p>Luki, I emailed them and asked for the finaid to be emailed to me since mail takes a long time. They wrote right back and said they'd do that as soon as it was ready (which isn't yet, it seems like).</p>

<p>thanks psychgirl!! If u dont mind me asking, what did you say in your email?</p>

<p>Just that mail can take a long time and that I'd appreciate it if they could email me a copy.</p>

<p>Mac's financial aid was quite disappointing for me. We are trying to see if we can get more money, but right now there is no way we can afford it.</p>

<p>I got my financial aid in the e mail... but I don´t quite understand if that is it??
haha it says Koffe Annan scholarship but I don´t know if that is my need based fiancial aid or if it is aditional... it is a little less than what I asked for anyways...</p>

<p>• Does Macalester offer special or honorary scholarships to international students?</p>

<p>All financial aid awards for international students are based on need. Because the international admissions process at Macalester is highly competitive, all students who receive financial aid have exceptional academic and personal records. In this sense the Kofi Annan International Scholarship is based on merit as well as need.</p>
