<p>I spoke to the admissions people a few weeks ago. They confirmed that they had 600 students matriculate. This is far more students than they expected but they think everything will be ok. They know they will lose some students over the summer and the housing office feels that they can accomodate all of the new students without any issues. It would appear that Macalester changed their “Yield” formula in response to the lower number of students applying this year. Let’s hope they have their act together come fall.</p>
