Even if you don’t enroll at Haverford, your post made this alum’s day. Thanks for sharing!

@isla701 Good luck with your visit and the decision now. My son spoke with a current student and asked what is his favorite thing about MAC. The student answered “In every class, my peers are as smart or smarter than I am.” That appreciation for mutual intellectual curiosity spoke to my son.

Committed to Mac-- just overall the best fit for me based on location, types of people, and the focus on world issues. Very excited for the fall, and thanks for everyone’s help!!
(Edit: Mac’s finaid office set up a zoom with us and gave me a bit extra $ to match more competitive offers within a day! So that certainly didn’t hurt!)

Congratulations! Mac seems like a fantastic school. One of my favorite work colleagues is a Mac alum. She is smart, funny, down-to-earth, and just an all-around good egg.

Yay! Congratulations! A wonderful school. My son deposited there this week. Mac was without a doubt his absolute favorite. Happy to see another that thought Mac was as fabulous!

Congratulations @isla701 !!! Can’t wait to read your updates!
If my 9th grader doesn’t mind making the trek from NC to Mac, I think it will certainly be on her list in 2024. I’ll be watching for your NC take on Mac.

Among my two kids, we visited and/or applied to all of these schools. It seemed like your heart was at Mac from the start but were hung up on perceived prestige, which really is not an issue. All of your finalists are great LACs. I loved Mac when we visited for the same reasons that you have expressed and I’m sure you’ll be happy there.

Thank you!! I don’t know where you are in NC, but I’m really close to RDU airport, which has direct flights to MSP (which is super close to campus, even closer than we thought), so that’s the silver lining here. Good luck to your daughter and I’ll certainly leave comments about my Mac experience! Might start a new thread on the Mac board and link it here lol.

Yeah, Mac offering EA for the first time this year was a stroke of genius. It definitely helped me fall in love, haha! I was able to convince my parents on the prestige question, which honestly assuaged a lot of my own anxiety about it. very excited to start there in the fall!

Congrats! I absolutely love MAC…and so did my son, but in the end he wanted to stay closer to home. Best of luck to you. Class of 2025 is going to be the best one yet!
