<p>Annycho. Macalester offered placement to everyone on the waitlist last year and still didn’t fill the class. They definitely overestimated their yield and they may do so again this year because many accepted students have applied to Macalester as a fall back school and don’t intend to go there. There is a chance he will get in, but he should visit the other colleges he was admitted to because a second look often changes a student’s mind.</p>
