IB Diploma candidate, national merit finalist
OK essay
solid but not extraordinary ECs</p>
<p>I was waitlisted...getting rejected would have been preferable, it would have allowed me to move on. But I think I want to decline. Why wait around until June to know? I hate this.</p>
<p>congrats to everyone that got in, and good luck to everyone on the alternate list :)</p>
<p>like iplayoboe, I'm at Mac already (soph) so if anyone wants to come visit outside of the regular sampler times, I have an extra bed, and I'd be happy to take you around campus and everything (also a tour guide in my spare time)</p>
<p>From your posts, it seems that you got into Rice and Emory. Where are you going to go? Great but hard choices.</p>
<p>i know..tough choice! its probably going to come down to money, but i doubt ill go to emory...i only applied there for my mom lol. so itll probably be rice or mac. my mac financial aid package should be coming today, so that might affect my decision!</p>
<p>Acceptees: was Macalester generous in financial aid for you?</p>
<p>i just got my financial aid package today and its pretty good. i got about 14000/year including work study but not including loans. im pretty happy with it even though its still going to be SO expensive lol.</p>
<p>they told us we didn't qualify for any financial aid even though the FAFSA estimated we would get a ton...</p>
<p>yea the same thing happened to me last year...
im a bit nervous, with a brother going to school next year at Penn State we don't expect any aid from there for him...</p>
<p>congrats to everybody whos gotten in !
Best of luck to those still waiting and waitlisted.
I sincerely hope everything comes out for the best :)</p>
<p>am i the only one who hasn't recieved a accpetance/denial letter yet?</p>
<p>^^^^
Me neither. I aint got me hopes high. :(</p>
<p>has any int'l heard anything yet?</p>
<p>i'm int'l, and i called this morning. The lady said they'll send out all international letters on March 31st.</p>
<p>Accepted!</p>
<p>What other colleges did people apply to? Heard back from them yet? I've been accepted to my state university, and that's it.</p>
<p>then how come people are already recieving decisions?? i dont get it </p>
<p>dont they send them all out at once?</p>
<p>I'm from WA state, not international. All my friends from my school have heard back. I think it's a regional thing.</p>
<p>I haven't heard yet either.</p>
<p>i am in california and havent heard yet --- were are u all from that have gotten decisons?</p>
<p>I'm in CT.</p>
<p>this waiting is driving me insane really. I've gotten into every other school I've applied to already EXCEPT the two I'm really interested in going to! (obviously one of them being Mac) I'm just hoping to hear really soon! It seems like they are just sending them out once they have processed your appliation and not all at once.</p>
