Is Macalester a good school for IR?

<p>I've been accepted to Macalester early notification, it's still RD but they just gave me an early notice. I'm not much aware of the school, to be honest, I just applied... They are offering me some scholarships too so I am starting to consider it but I do not have much info on mac. Would it be a good choice, considering that I want to work in foreign service and goto grad school?</p>

<p>Macalester prides itself in its international focus, and I would say that it has a very strong international program. The major is called International Studies, rather than International Relations, and my impression of the program when I looked at Mac was that it was a lot more extensive than many other schools that I was looking at.</p>

<p>Are you a DeWitt Wallace Scholar, by any chance? I didn’t end up attending Mac but if you PM me I can send you some more information on it.</p>

<p>Macalester College is an excellent liberal arts school with a decided emphasis on international studies. A larger-than-usual percent of its students are internationals. Cool fact: Kofi Annan (former UN Secretary General) was an alum. </p>

<p>Without knowing what your other choices are, it’s difficult to say if Mac is the best, but it’s certainly very very good.</p>

<p>Intl Studies is what Mac is known for.</p>
