0.0% as well. LOLZ.
Oh, and PSEO is a wonderful experience from what my friends have told me. If you are considering it James, I'd apply. But if you're a senior, well, I'll just stick with my statement of:
0.0%. LOLZ.

The state of Minnesota has a program called PSEO where junior and seniors can apply to MN schools and take classes there with the state paying for courses. Many states have similar programs. Macalester graciously chooses to participate, even though it is private. I am still enrolled in high school, however, and HS students are limited to one course only at Macalester. I had to apply with a transcript, ACT score, and an essay on why I wanted to participate. After I was accepted I was treated just like a college student, with an ID and access to campus programs and email and whatnot. However, you are not guaranteed admission after HS, you still have to apply like everyone else. Still, because I was accepted into the program I already fit into Macalester's criteria (my essay was rather politically oriented). Macalester is a great place with friendly staff and professors! I had an amazing experience. However the weather is horrible here and I want to get out.

HS program?

Babaganoush, can you tell me more about the Macalester program for HS seniors? I hadn't heard about it before and would love to learn more. Is it akin to college admissions? If you get it, are you guaranteed admission after your senior year, or is it something different?

Thanks!
