<p>Veronica96, I encourage you to attend our November 1 Fall Sampler or schedule an individual campus visit that would include a class visit and tour. During your visit you may be interested in attending an English class like “Postcolonial Theory” or “Introduction to Creative Writing”. The Waverley is a newsletter put out by the English department that includes student writing, faculty profiles and alumni outcomes. </p>

<p>Admitted students to Macalester receive an aid package that meets 100% of demonstrated financial need and merit scholarship awards range from $2,000 to $64,000 over four years. Macalester has developed a Net Price Estimator that can be used to deliver a customized estimate of financial aid eligibility at [Estimate</a> Your Macalester Financial Aid Eligibility - Financial Aid Office - Macalester College](<a href=“http://www.macalester.edu/financialaid/estimate/index.html]Estimate”>Estimate Your Need-Based Financial Aid Eligibility - Financial Aid Office - Macalester College). </p>

<p>Like many selective colleges, Macalester Admissions looks at recommendations, essays, the interview, leadership potential and abilities, and extracurricular activities when evaluating an application. They are looking for students that would contribute to the college’s mission of high standards for scholarship and service to society and appreciate Mac’s emphasis on internationalism and multiculturalism. There is a page within the admissions section about selectivity and preparation at [Advanced</a> Standing, Selectivity, and Preparation - Apply - - Admissions & Financial Aid - Macalester College](<a href=“http://www.macalester.edu/admissions/apply/advanced/]Advanced”>http://www.macalester.edu/admissions/apply/advanced/). </p>
