Macalester RD 2021?

Accepted! A small amount of aid but unfortunately it will likely be unaffordable. I will likely marticulate somewhere else so good look to all ok the wait list I hope one of you gets my spot :))

Accepted with the DeWitt scholarship of 16k per year.

The letter says that around 6000 students applied for 540 spots. How is the acceptance rate 35% then? Is it because they offer spots to over 2000 people?

Accepted :slight_smile: very happy. Sorry to those who were not accepted. I was rejected from the school that I thought I would end up at and it hurt a lot. Remember- we all end up where we are meant to be. Best of wishes to all of you!

I was accepted with the Catherine Lealtad Scholarship :slight_smile:

@thedecidingfate Only a small percentage of accepted students enroll, so yes, they accept a lot more than they have spots for.

Accepted with a DeWitt scholarship :slight_smile: congrats to all!

Accepted with a 16K scholarship!:slight_smile:

did everyone who applied get a financial aid update email? I’m too scared to check so I’m trying to figure out if that’s a good sign or not

Not an email, but the financial aid award is on the portal! @spgles

Accepted. Full ride, partly because I am an unaccompanied minor.

Flying out next month!

D accepted with DeWitt scholarship, and additional funds if she designates Mac as her first choice (National Merit Finalist).

Accepted with $18,000/year DeWitt scholarship + a KICKASS $31k/year grant. Wouldn’t have to take out any loans, and I’m thrilled, although it isn’t currently one of my top choices.

Accepter with $25K DeWitt / Semester, and absolutely thrilled on earlier-that-expected acceptance. Not my top choice, but it might be in a few weeks; who knows.

BTW: “As the Admissions Committee reviewed about 6,000 applications for the 540 spots …”
What happened? Is this a mistake, because last year the acceptance rate was like 35%.

@MON824 Congrats!!

When they say 540 spots they mean the intended size of their entering class. They probably admitted around 4x more (~2,160 admits) than their ideal entering class size because of their historical yield rate, which is roughly one quarter of all admits based off of last year (23% of admits enrolled).

@yuccatree Thanks! Makes sense.

Also, I see you were accepted as well. Congrats and best of luck going forward!

@MON824 Thanks, you too!!
