<p>I'd say you have a good shot. Just write a pretty decent essay, which shouldn't be too hard if you won that essay contest. I would probably put you at a match with Macalester. But of course my opinion isn't the one that matters.</p>

<p>well from what ive seen of MACs admissions stats, id say you have an excellent shot. I wouldnt go so far as to call it a safety or anything, but id be fairly certain that youll get in. I belive your 33 is easily within the top 25% of admitted students. Check the college board site for the exact stats. good luck</p>
