<p>I was wondering about how competitive it is to be transfered into Macalester? I'm starting at Lawrence University next year, and want to have a escape plan in place just in case I don't like it. Not that I'm saying I wont like it because I came in with a bad attitude (which I will not), but just as a precaution.</p>
<p>I don't know their transfer acceptance rate off the top of my head, check collegeboard.com. all I know is I applied the first time around and got in and was also accepted as a transfer except the financial aid award was considerably lower the second time... which made my decision easier (I'm transferring to Pomona instead). Macalester is a great school though. I went to nearby St. Thomas for my first year and was able to get a good look at Mac.</p>
