<p>I think your chances are good. Have you visited Macalester or attended an information session at your school or interviewed with an admissions related person in your area? Let them know in your essays why you feel that Macalester is a good fit for you. I think your stats and activities make you a good candidate, just be sure to show your enthusiasm for Macalester in your supplemental essay.</p>

<p>As I posted on another thread, I really think that showing interest is very important. Email or call admissions, and visit if you can. Some schools don't care about demonstrated interest, but I think Macalester is one that does.</p>
