Class of 2018 notification

<p>Hi everyone! Reading through forums from last year, I saw that a number of people heard back from Macalester in late February and that many started to hear back in mid-March, well before the posted date of March 30th. I was wondering how many people, if any, have gotten a regular decision notification yet for this year's class. </p>

<p>It looks like last year they sent out decisions on the friday before spring break which was yesterday? </p>

<p>Ahh, I’m starting to get anxious! Do you think international students receive snail mail as well?</p>

<p>Oh boy. Do you know if they sent out all RD decisions or just partially. Very very nervous as Mac is a top choice </p>

<p>Got ours today. Accepted!</p>

<p>were do you live?</p>

<p>Madison, WI</p>

Two questions:

  1. When were the letters postmarked?
  2. Was there an update on your Macalester student portal?</p>

<p>Macalester mailed them out on thr 18th</p>

<p>Got a FedEx envelope in the mail today. (We’re international.) Can’t open it until my daughter comes home from school. Ack! Waiting, waiting. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Mine is postmarked on the 17th. Didn’t check the portal.</p>

<p>International here. Got results on email.
Waitlisted 2300SAT 4.0 GPA average EC wonderful rec letter, pretty good essay.
I guess it was because I applied for Financial Aid</p>

<p>@Pcollege12 when did you get your email?</p>

<p>We got an email this evening a few hours after we opened the envelope. Accepted with scholarship. Yay!</p>

<p>@OverseasMama congratulations! did it say in the email that you got a scholarship?</p>

<p>Greetings All, my D has yet to receive anything in the mail but checked the Macalester website, “Check Application Status”. There is a new heading below called FORMS, under that it says: “Reply to Offer of Admission”. So…I am deducing this means acceptance. Check it out.</p>

<p>This morning. I guess the letter is coming later.</p>

<p>Hi @Happiness14, thank you for sharing that! I checked, and I saw the same thing!! Unfortunately, I’m not sure if they put that option for everyone, as in they build it into the site and have yet to tweak it so that only accepted students can click it…has anyone else come across the “Reply to Offer of Admission” option? :-/ </p>

<p>I received an acceptance via email today as well! I’m an international applicant. </p>

<p>@college7777 I just checked my portal and I have that option. I’d take it as a good sign! </p>

<p>S got a fat envelope today! He won’t be home for several hours–does anybody know if the FA decision is included in there? Thanks!</p>
