Mac ED/EA 2025

Still don’t see it. :cold_sweat: MAC is my daughter’s top target. It’d be a bummer if she doesn’t get in but she’s already been accepted at comparable schools. Good luck everyone. Enjoy the wait!

Congrats to your daughter, that must feel good! All of our kids definitely need some good news lately. Senior year is not shaping up as hoped.

Congratulations! We only got our first decision on Thursday (thankfully a yes) It’s hard to wait especially for a favorite. Mac is a top choice for my kid.

Looks like they really will take through the 20th. At least we know it will really be over tomorrow!

Yeah I agree. I have the profile for higher ranked schools on the USNWR, but I love Mac because it’s a perfect cultural fit. Fingers crossed for all of us tomorrow.

Same for my kid. He is a definite full on FIT for Mac. He applied to similar schools in terms of culture and a few for other reasons (proximity to home, legacy, safety). But this is the admit he is really hoping for.

Here’s hoping we can discuss fit as more than a hypothetical 24 hours from now! I know it probably won’t come out until the afternoon but I hope it comes out sooner rather than later, I don’t want to be waiting until 8 PM if I can help it!

Deferred. :thinking:

Does anyone have thoughts on how to proceed? My daughter already had an interview with admissions and spoke to a professor. Feedback would be appreciated…
