I was also waitlisted…2130 SAT, 3.65uw, 4.3w gpa…the most frustrating thing is that I was hoping to visit again if it offered decent aid, but now even if I am able to consider it, it will be after I have placed a deposit elsewhere. Ugh! But congrads to all who were accepted 
Internernational here, too, and also got rejected.
But congrats to everyone who made it in
@ODKmom yeah you still get aid if you’re accepted from the waitlist
Macalester didn’t accept anyone from the waitlist last year: https://www.macalester.edu/ir/institutionaldata/cds2015.pdf
Accepted with 49k in merit aide!! DeWitt Wallace Grant and Wallace Distinguished Scholar!! My ACT is 34 and the rest of my app was strong but I’m still kinda shocked and SO excited!
Mac waitlist statistics: 2008: 11/182 (433), 2009: 0/242 (534), 2010: 0/243 (582), 2011: 196/196 (508), 2012: 116/233 (469), 2013: 0/217 (444), 2014: 215/269 (510), 2015: 0/177 (350). #s in parentheses are wait list offers and denominators are wait list accept. Numerators are # taken off wait list. As you can see some years not bad, but several 0 years as well. Best to stay hopeful but not count on it. Source: Macalester Common Data Set
Oops turns out I already commented.
Gah. Nevermind.
Wait Listed :((
International with average SAT score but good EC’s
Does anyone know when accepted students should get a packet in the mail?
Has anyone already received mail from Macalester?
@vellichor I got sent an email asking to verify my mailing address (since I had 2). I’m guessing it means that the package will be arriving in 1-3 days? Idk how fast these packages arrive.
Waitlisted - I’m a international that applied for a lot of aid! It seems like we had it pretty rough
Thanks @Grapess ! I’m really looking forward to getting my first acceptance package!
@vellichor Congrats!! :3 It’d be exciting to hold a physical copy :">
@Grapess , yes! I’m excited This is my first real decision, and even though I don’t know if I’ll attend I’m happy to have some results! Waiting for the rest of my colleges is killing me!
@vellichor ikr?? I hate this waiting so, so freaking much. I just want it to end so I can be relieved of this stress.
You are saying $49K in total over 4 years or $49K per year?
Hey everyone! Late to the party but I was accepted with a 6k/year scholarship and veryyyyyy generous grant aid, very exciting! Macalester seems like a great place, and I’m not sure if it’s where I’ll end up but I would be very happy if it was! Just for stats: I had a 1930 SAT and around a 3.9uw GPA! Very excited to (potentially) meet some of you guys. Anyone coming to the fly-in weekend?
accepted! i applied for aid and got 40k including the turck honor scholarship. it’s still not enough though so im waiting for other schools. im really happy because i didnt think i had a chance. my SAT is 2190, average essays, good ECs.
I am ecstatic to have been accepted to Mac! Nice scholarship and grant package. Can’t wait to visit next month. Congrats to all!
@bgal101 hey! do you know why some people got the fly-in weekend thing and some didn’t? i can’t find that info anywhere. maybe it’s only for US cotizens/reaidents?
