<p>Your stats put you below the "average" current first-year student, but with a chance for acceptance. Your strong schedule will help.</p>

<p>I would say that if you are super-interested in Macalester you should consider an ED II application. No point in doing so if it is not a clear first-choice for you, especially since your other CC posts show that you have a number of very good schools on your list that are less-selective than Macalester, and likely to admit you.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>I'm not going to go EDII because, as you observed, there are several colleges on my list ahead of Mac.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
