Macalester RD 2021?

t

Does anyone know if they email the acceptance letter or if we need to log into the portal to see it? Will financial aid/scholarship info be there too? Thanks!

@smcirish you will receive an email that the portal was updated. In the email you will be informed of any scholarships and linked to your financial aid award if accepted.

Rejected

@Raelte I’m so sorry. Macalester’s loss. From your posts I have no doubt that whichever school you end up attending will be lucky to have you!

Also rejected, but I wasn’t really expecting to get in.

My D was rejected, too.

@NolaCAR thanks for the kindness, I can’t say im surprised but still a little sad. Well wishes to your D as well, Im sure she’ll flourish elsewhere!

Accepted! With 42k in financial aid.

My D didn’t get an email yet!? Weird. We will check the portal.

Yeah the email isnt out yet, i just happened to check at the hour

Accepted with 60k in scholarships a year!

I GOT IN!! i never even got the e-mail so i’m not sure what that’s about but congrats everyone and i’m sure for people for which it didn’t work out you’ll have other great options!!

Waitlisted :frowning: can anyone help me understand what this really means? I would need a good bit of financial aid to be able to afford this school (at least 10,000 a year). Does my being waitlisted mean it’s unlikely I will be offered good financial aid? And what are the actual chances of this turning in to an acceptance?

My D also got in and was given the Wallace Distinguished scholarship for $20,000 per year!

Accepted- about 46.5K a year in scholarship. So happy!

Accepted!!! :’)

@saphal I’m sorry to tell you the chances of getting admitted off the waitlist don’t look good. According to this, 350 students were offered a place on the waitlist, 177 accepted a place on the waitlist, and 0 students were offered admission from the waitlist.

Boo. Thank you for this information though!

Now that was a tease. International students will have to wait two more weeks because of the passing of their Director of International Admissions.
