<p>My daughter received an email today with her First Year Course placement.</p>
<p>Have her check the 1600 Grand site–she may find other classes listed as well (although they may not necessarily be her final classes). My daughter got her first choice seminar and has 2 other classes listed so far–all of which she was excited about.</p>
<p>Hello to the my fellow Mac mom’s lol. My daughter will also be attending Mac this fall. I just wanted to let you know that there is also a Facebook for Mac Parents that I found the other day. It is run by a Mac staff member and appears to be quite new as the only members are myself and one other parent LOL</p>
<p>Just thought I would spread the word because it could be a very nice resource for us if the group was able to gain some members.</p>

<p>My S has not get the email yet, but we found out, same way as MasqueMom did, that he got his preferred first year seminar and two other classes. He wants to include one course in his major but it will have conflict with one of the course assigned. Well, he has to learn how to add and withdraw courses when he get to Macalester. :)</p>
<p>I requested to join the face book parents group too, but wonder why this is a closed group? It is not like NYU parents would join in for fun. ???</p>
<p>I wondered the same thing about it being a closed group. Well anyways I am glad that you requested to join as well…I think it could be a great thing for those of us new to Mac</p>
<p>My daughter got her third choice for First Year Seminar. Which First Year Course did your kids get?</p>
<p>My daughter got her 3rd choice as well. Race/Silent Film. She is excited about the course just not real crazy that it meets at I think at 7:00-10:00 p.m .</p>
<p>My D is going to take Work, Wealth and Well-Being That is his first choice. He is really excited about it.
BYW, I am in the parent group now too. It just doesn’t seem to have a lot of activities there yet.</p>
<p>S is in Principles of Economics. The facebook group for the Macalester Class of 2013 is going strong. It’s great that the kids can connect before getting to school (in just a few weeks!). S will be moving in on the 28th and then heading to NROTC orientation for five days.</p>
<p>Sorry, it is my son (S), not D
</p>
<p>I am hoping that the parent group can really get going as more parents learn about it. My D is on the student group as well and you are right it is quite active. They also have a forum or message board system that is at the library site I believe…my D says there is a lot of activity on there as well.</p>
<p>My son got his second choice–Evolutionary Anthropology. </p>
<p>I can’t bring myself to join Facebook, so I guess the Mac parent group is out for me :-(</p>
<p>Art/Horror in Germa Cinema</p>
<p>My D got her third choice “Core Concepts of Computer Science”. Her second choice was “Evolutionary Anthropology”. I think that would have been a far better fit, but I think she will be happy with the Computer Science. </p>
<p>Did anyone get into the Macwardbound program? My D tried, but didn’t win the lottery!</p>
<p>Yes, my son got into the Macwardbound canoe group. He is really looking forward to it. Fortunately, he’s a Boy Scout and has the appropriate attire for the trip. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the weather cooperates for them.</p>
