Letters are coming

<p>Yeah does that mean it is fairly likely we will get in? It says we'll here around May/June, which means we will have already paid a deposit for another school... ugh</p>

<p>My son got his "YES Macalester" letter today! </p>

<p>Does anyone know what next years tuition and fees will be?</p>

<p>I would LOVE to hear something this week!!</p>

<p>According to my financial aid award, the tuition is $33,494. With room, board, and an "activity fee", it comes to $41,914.</p>

<p>i didnt gey anything in the mail today :( :( </p>

<p>where so you guys live? should i be worried?</p>

<p>My daughter got her "Yes Macalester" packet today! We live in Kentucky.</p>

<p>I have a question. did anybody get rejected/accepted/waitlisted through email? any internationals out there that got the mail yet?</p>

<p>nope - i'm international too .. .but i dont have my hopes high .. although mac is probably my first choice.</p>

<p>do intl students receive acceptance letters or rejection letters both through regular postal mail?</p>

<p>I haven't received an e-mail yet, so I guess its postal mail.....</p>

<p>international students who receive their mac answers please post here! i was looking in my mail all day</p>

<p>i think mac will send the acceptance letters through courrier service and the rejection letters through post.</p>

<p>I got in! Very exciting.
I live in New york.</p>

<p>D got her letter in mail today. Waitlisted (athough they use "alternate list"). She doesn't plan to accept a place on it, though. FYI, it comes in a regular envelope, but it's thicker than the single-piece rejection letter would be. I knew what it was when it came, because I knew an acceptance would say, "Yes, Mac" and a rejection would be thinner. First non-acceptance, but not a rejection! They appear to be headed for the WashU route, though, with the increasing number of waitlists they have had through the past few years.</p>

<p>My daugher - who really wanted to go to Mac - got flat-out rejected, despite putting an enormous energy into getting admitted. (Stats within range; visit to school, interview etc., good Why Mac essay.) Making matters worse, her best friend—who demonstrated no interest whatsoever got in—and has no intention of going there whatsoever. My conclusion: No matter what anyone says to the contrary, it's all about numbers.</p>

<p>Oh, Indianakate, I am so sorry for your daughter! I just told my daughter about it, and she feels awful for her. Unfortunately, the admissions process can be so unpredictable (and feel so cruel). The hardest part is when the kids WANTS to go there ... while it feels bad to be rejected no matter what, it's harder when it's their top choice. My honest feeling is that when things like that happen, it is for a reason. When one door closes, another opens --- and it's usually the right door, even if we didn't know that before. I am sure it will all work out for her, and she will find happiness.</p>

<p>i got my acceptance letter today
i live in new york</p>

<p>Thanks for your empathetic words, kesmom. I totally think you're right and hope that another door will open soon for my disappointed daughter. Good luck to your daughter as she makes her decision. And congrats to everyone who got into Macalester. It's a wonderful school.</p>

<p>Have those of you who have received decisions by mail also had the decision posted on the website? DD has no letter and no information on-line.</p>

<p>i just checked and nothing new is on the website</p>
