got my finaid today - doesn’t look like enough for my family - I just think the EFC set by the FAFSA is so outrageous - like I can afford only a little over 1/2 of what the EFC expects - it’s not Mac’s fault - it’s the system’s. looks like one more middle classer screwed out of a chance for a top private LAC education. :(

Mac is really nice - i actually was sent 3 separate letters: one with finaid data, one with a letter to me, and one with a letter to my parents - Macalester is definitely the best school in terms of applicant relations - no other school has done so much.
