Mu guess is that Mac will accept less students but put more in the waiting list. After all, Mac accepts 100 more than it should this year. If it happens again, there will be no enough dorms for freshmen.

More accepted students enrolled in the college than Mac expected. For example, if the school wanted 1000 students and the field is 25%, the school will accept 4000 students to fill a freshmen class of 1000. Obviously the yield was much higher than expected for Mac this fall.

The good news was that no one became homeless. Mac managed to house everyone. Academically it added two freshmen seminar and expanded the seminars to 17 students to accommodate them.

Private colleges are gonna be hurting for money, so I hope that means more admissions.

Mac is my top choice at the moment. I absolutely loved it when I visited. I was a little worried about its relatively close proximity (I live about 5 hours away and can't wait to leave SD), but it truly fits me the best. St Paul is amazing as well...definitely nicer area than my number two, UChicago.
Does anyone know what their major will be yet?
I'm seriously considering a double major in Int. Relations and Math...that's what instantly excited me about Mac.

I'm currently thinking women's studies, anthropology, history...something in that vein. But I'm very open to that changing.
