<p>chance please</p>

<p>I cant compare your college grades ( as I have very little knowledge about it). Your high school grades and SAT scores are no where close to that will make you a competitive applicant for Macalester . Although you had listed as thai, I hope you are an american citizen because if you are not, you fall in entirely different catagory with neck-bent competition.</p>

<p>yes! fortunately i am american haha</p>

<p>18 first sem = english, history, calculus, intro to geography, frosh sem, anthro = all A’s
26 second sem = english, history, calc 2, human geog, physical geog, spanish 300, astronomy, econ = all A’s</p>

<p>Are you applying as a transfer student?</p>

<p>While you may have made done incredibly well in college, your high school GPA and SAT scores are very low for Macalester. Having less than a 500 in each of the sections, Macalester is going to be a huge reach for you.</p>

<p>Eh. I got into Macalester with a 3.4 and a 26 ACT. Don’t be discouraged, there’s hope. Write good essays!</p>
