Case Western Reserve University (2023-2024)

[foggy edge]

tbh yeah they prolly saw my stats and were like ok admit

[topaz silo]

i didn't know case was this easy

i thought it was selective given the acceptance % 😭

like 30?

fr

[viscid dragon]

Yes

[viscid dragon]

It’s not!!

A lot of people didn’t get in/got deferred

[past atlas]

i think its low cause a lot of lower level ppl apply since its not an ivy and no essay

[topaz silo]

yeah

but they read the common app yeah?

essay

[past atlas]

well they see it yea idk if they read

[fickle skiff]

should i skip to calc 2 with calc AB credits or take calc 1 for a refresher

im thinking about majoring in neuroscience for context

[raw ridge]

Skip calc 1

Never retake classes you've takeb

Slows you down

[winter bramble]

does anyone know what the deadline is for the loci form

[half magnet]

^^^

[obtuse fractal]

anyone here goes to case?

[sudden wing]

https://engineering.case.edu/news/cds-program-ranked-1-ohio-40-us-recent-college-factual-list?subsite=72210

Doesn’t OSU have a higher ranked program

[winter bramble]

just go to osu guys

cwru mid (im salty cuz i got deferred)

[past atlas]

whaat if u dont rlly master the material at all?

like i could get a 4 or 5 on calc with like no foundation at all

same with a lot of other courses

since u dont need a lot to get a 4 or 5

like i feel like i wouldnt keep up and just be messing myself up

it like happened in physics too like i went straight into ap physics C and im kind of getting screwed cause i didnt have foundations at all and im not super smart

and also as long as u fulfil requirements course rigor doesnt matter in college right

[sudden wing]

Same it doesn’t hurt to redo

Or even just like take some summer enrichment before moving oneards

Also phy C is rly easy to 5

[copper meadow]

heavily depends imo
i retook gen chem despite getting a 4 on ap chem because i took ap chem my junior year in HS and i hav e to take a fair amount of chem for my degree
however, i got a 5 on BC and dont need any calc past that so i took the credit & now i dont have to think about ot

[raw ridge]

You'll usually be able to pick it up again quickly even if you got a 4 or 5

[sudden wing]

also AP class labs are an absolute joke ig, if you want actual labwork experience then retaking might be useful (then again higher level classes will also have labs)

[past atlas]

those dont even exist at my school lmao those labs

havent done a single lab since like 9th grade

its just test after test in ap now

[gleaming fox]

So I applied to the PPSP program at case and given its competiveness im sure ill get rejected, but case is still a school I really want to go to for undergraduate school too. I was told that they send you like this extra theing if you get rejected that you have to fill out to be passed down to RD. Does anyone have some insight on this process. I emailed a admissions coulselour about this and they told me they would send me something but I just wanted to know more about the process.

[knotty hinge]

Yet another school I applied to cause no supps

[knotty hinge]

You mean a deferral form?

[main vector]

I got my PPSP decision January 28

there’s a deferral form if u get deferred u have to write an essay

If not you’ll get an interview

[knotty hinge]

An essay for a deferral is crazy

Id just withdraw

[main vector]

I mean tbh it saved me

[knotty hinge]

Fordham was just a "do you still wanna be considered lol"

[main vector]

the topic was like why case basically

[knotty hinge]

Eugh

[main vector]

Well case doesn’t have an essay in the first place

Unless ur PPSP

so an essay isn’t that bad

[knotty hinge]

"why us"

• I wanna go to college and you're good at colleging 🧍‍♂️

[main vector]

case REALLY cares about demonstrated interest

like significantly

[knotty hinge]

Yea I know

[main vector]

I showed 0 besides the PPSP zoom and the essay

[knotty hinge]

All I've ever done is be on their mailing list

💀

[main vector]

Optional short answer: Imagine your future. How will you utilize the resources and opportunities available at Case Western Reserve University to realize that future?

that was the topic

[main vector]

Bro the mail does not stop

I get AN EMAIL EVERY DAY

From them

And u literlaly go there

I*

[knotty hinge]

I muted it after a while Icl

[main vector]

I name dropped in my essay 😭

[main vector]

I do

They spend exactly 5 minutes I read my case file lol it had timestamps

They value ur stats and ECs the most

[knotty hinge]

Oh I'm definitely cooked

I didn't exactly expect much out of applying here anyway but lmao

[main vector]

They specifically mentioned they didn’t like that I got an 88 in ap physics 2 💀

[knotty hinge]

LMAOO NAW

[main vector]

I was like bro come on 😭😭😭😭

[knotty hinge]

I'm fried

I have a 3.6 💀💀💀

[main vector]

oh my bf got in with a 3.6

They care about ECs a lot too

[knotty hinge]

Must've gotten a 99 in AP physics 2

[main vector]

LOL

[knotty hinge]

For a QB partner you'd think they'd be a lil less stat focused

[main vector]

Case is very odd

basically everyone here is a super nerd

like I swear

There’s like 3 social frats the rest are professional frats

little to no party life

[knotty hinge]

I'm only applying here because of the minimal effort required to do so I'm not getting in

I just figured I'd save Rd for reaches

[main vector]

Yeah they also give VERY good aid

[knotty hinge]

And no essays

Yeah that too

[main vector]

yeah case was my cheapest kinda 😭

at 52k but still

I think it came down to 46k after I waived a few optional things

but I know a lot of ppl that pay <10k

[tranquil pilot]

oh wassup chloe lmfao

[foggy edge]

not really😭

[main vector]

they’re full need met lmao

[main vector]

hi

[foggy edge]

i got my financial offer and it's very hmm

[main vector]

I talked to the finaid counselor they’re under promising bc fafsa hasn’t been released this year yet

They’d rather add money than take away

[foggy edge]

ohhhhhh

will they give more later then????

damn

[main vector]

ya after u send them css and fafsa

[gleaming fox]

whats the essay about

[tranquil pilot]

ik 1 ppsp kid

[gleaming fox]

but mainly cuz

[main vector]

im jealous of them

LOL

[gleaming fox]

its like a good school but not like way too sweaty where you have to like tryhard

[main vector]

but case med is 110k/yr

[gleaming fox]

and I can run there

[main vector]

so like idk i wouldnt want to go to case med

[gleaming fox]

the coach has been really nice

I like the campus

ohh wait

I have a very important question

is case like near greenery and shit

like trails and whatnot

[main vector]

if u go a littlke out yeah

theres a nice trail

[gleaming fox]

oh shoot ok

yea thats very important for me

[tranquil pilot]

fr?

i aint even know that

[gleaming fox]

it doesnt have to be IN case

but like if its a drivable distance

thats reasonable

[main vector]

u can walk

[gleaming fox]

I live in so cal and its kinda sad

[main vector]

it's behind that lake thing

[gleaming fox]

cuz everything is so synthetic

sorta

[tranquil pilot]

uh

[main vector]

wade lagoon

[tranquil pilot]

isnt behind the lage the museum

[main vector]

case is a pretty campus

[tranquil pilot]

lake

[gleaming fox]

wb the food

[tranquil pilot]

food

[gleaming fox]

i heard the food is not shit

but not good

[tranquil pilot]

is not bad lowkey

[main vector]

no on the other sude of the laje

[tranquil pilot]

oh

[main vector]

bro the food is not bad

[tranquil pilot]

bro its cause u get den all the time

[main vector]

u have like infinite options

[gleaming fox]

im one of those people who likes school food

[tranquil pilot]

every time i go ur there LMFAO

ur name is on the thing

[gleaming fox]

like as long as its not on the borderline of edible

[main vector]

if u go to case then get the unlimited meal plan it's nice

[tranquil pilot]

bro i saw chloes name the last 2 times i was there

[knotty hinge]

I could give a damn about the food or Cleveland I'll go watch the cavs get knocked out of the first round I just wanna get my college paid for

[gleaming fox]

oh wow

[main vector]

it's like $70 more than the normal meal plan

[gleaming fox]

thats cool

wb like aid and stuff

[main vector]

URS

[tranquil pilot]

i watched some cavs game

my seats were crayyy

[gleaming fox]

ik yall were talking bout how they give hella aid

im not low income

[main vector]

they do generally

[gleaming fox]

or like super high income

so ig merit based aid

[knotty hinge]

The FAFSA would be showing my mom making 18 grand a year

[main vector]

i have 46k efc and i pay 46k so theyre full need met

[knotty hinge]

So

LMAO

[tranquil pilot]

bless up

[main vector]

ur gonna get full ride

[knotty hinge]

If I get in (I will not)

[main vector]

they might even pay u

im ngl

[gleaming fox]

18 grand wtf

[tranquil pilot]

yo

[gleaming fox]

is this like some under the table shit

[knotty hinge]

Median income where we are is 20k

[tranquil pilot]

when does fafsa open for us

[gleaming fox]

oh ic

[main vector]

anuary or something

[knotty hinge]

Just poor

[main vector]

jan

[knotty hinge]

Lmao

[tranquil pilot]

oh ok thx

[knotty hinge]

FAFSA is supposed to open Dec 31 I thought

That's what every college email keeps telling me

[gleaming fox]

I tried searching their average GPA and it says 4.04

like what does taht even mean

[knotty hinge]

I feel like your definition of bad stats is very different to mine

[copper meadow]

on or by supposedly

[knotty hinge]

They recalculate gpa to fit their own I'm pretty sure

[gleaming fox]

I have a 3.84 UW and 4.56 W

alr alr

and 1560 SAT

[knotty hinge]

I saw either in mail or cds I don't remember and itnwas like "average gpa (recalculated) 3.7"

Not for case

Just for mentioning average gpas

[main vector]

that is exactly what i had

well close

[knotty hinge]

So it's not base uw or weighted it's just their schools

Damn lmao

I don't think I'll be as successful as you but I can prau

Pray

[gleaming fox]

but my ECs r veyr solid

[main vector]

i had like 3.89 4.5

[main vector]

they care about that

[knotty hinge]

Would've had a 3.9 if you didn't get an 88 in AP physics 2

[main vector]

a lot

[knotty hinge]

Just saying

[main vector]

i read my admissions file

[gleaming fox]

i was worried about that cuz they have no supps lol

but thats good for me

[main vector]

im physica major

[gleaming fox]

very good letter of recs

[main vector]

so i guess they extra cared

[gleaming fox]

i just sorta sold my GPA

even tho its still a good gpa

[knotty hinge]

Do they admit by major?

[main vector]

i honestly dont think they read htat

[main vector]

no

they admit u to the whole school unless ur nursing or music

[knotty hinge]

So why did it matter

😭

[gleaming fox]

they admissions lady said they did

hopefully they do

[knotty hinge]

Admissions ladies say anything I'm ngl

[main vector]

it never mentioned it on my admissions file

[knotty hinge]

But I'd assume they read it if they REQUIRE two

[main vector]

chat

[knotty hinge]

Like if they didn't they'd be like every other school n only require one

[main vector]

maybe they skim it to make sure it doesnt say I HATE U

[knotty hinge]

The only reason I didn't ea is because I only had 1 letter

[gleaming fox]

they do i think

[knotty hinge]

💀

[main vector]

bc they take exactly 5 minutes to read ur app

like 5 minutes to the second

[knotty hinge]

Yeesh

[gleaming fox]

darn

[main vector]

5:00.00

[gleaming fox]

thats wild

[knotty hinge]

My essay alone would take more than that to read

I'm fried

[main vector]

fr

it's so dusty in there

[gleaming fox]

5 mins?

thats fucking crazy

[main vector]

wait

HELP

THATS THE GMAING LAB

[sullen pilot]

Case western bad cuz they deferred me

[main vector]

😭

[knotty hinge]

Wtf is a gaming lab

[main vector]

dw chat they deferred me too

they r just playing hard to get

[gleaming fox]

epic yield protect

[sullen pilot]

I’m believing for the sake of my mental health that I was just too powerful for their Ohio school

[knotty hinge]

A gaming lab is probably the only way they stop kids from going insane in Cleveland

[sullen pilot]

Like I didn’t even wanna go there

[main vector]

maybe u are too social

[sullen pilot]

What this mean

[knotty hinge]

I'm predicting this school being my first or second rejection

[gleaming fox]

is case really that nerdy

[knotty hinge]

First if neu defers and second if they dont

[main vector]

case is very nerdy

[sullen pilot]

Lol

I mean my first choice was mit

[main vector]

cwru > neu

[sullen pilot]

But I’m not like a mega nerd

Neu > case

[main vector]

bro 😭

[main vector]

thats crazy

[sullen pilot]

Not crazy

[gleaming fox]

they got a gaming lab?

how does that work

[sullen pilot]

Neu co op program and Boston area better

[gleaming fox]

anyone can use it?

[tranquil pilot]

olin

i can get access

once i declare my major

oh fr

[sullen pilot]

Do they got an esport team

[tranquil pilot]

ive never been inside

[main vector]

yes

[tranquil pilot]

oh fr

who do i email and what do i say

lmfao

oh

[knotty hinge]

I mean it's gonna be my second rejection if neu rejects me first

[tranquil pilot]

for olin or only that room

neu sucks

[knotty hinge]

If neu doesn't defer me and instead rejects out of EA

[tranquil pilot]

oh bet

[knotty hinge]

Then it'll be my second

[sullen pilot]

My friend got a scholarship to a school to play league on the esports team

No cap

[knotty hinge]

Yea my branch school has esports scholarships and stuff

I wasn't interested

I'm good at games but not

Competitively good at games

I'm like consistently above average but not great

[sullen pilot]

I wanna do esports but not a lot of my schools have it

[tranquil pilot]

every school

[sullen pilot]

Mostly the big public schools have teams

[tranquil pilot]

probably has a esports club

[sullen pilot]

I wanna do collegiate overwatch Fr Fr

[sweet nacelle]

hello world

Case western sent me a fee waiver and wrote me an email to ask me to apply

does this mean they want me or anything

[main vector]

no they sned it to everyone

[sweet nacelle]

all of a sudden lol

I hate Bob

[foggy edge]

what if I've already sent css but not fafsa

[obtuse fractal]

do u know if like East Cleveland is safe

[foggy edge]

i mean i got that applied and got in

so

[obtuse fractal]

like I hear from my family in Ohio that East Cleveland is basically the ghetto of Ohio

[sweet nacelle]

that is very tempting

[obtuse fractal]

I got that too and I got deferred

[sweet nacelle]

if it weren't for Ohio I would have loved going

[foggy edge]

💀

[sweet nacelle]

[foggy edge]

SAME

campus low-key pretty

[sweet nacelle]

ok I gotta contemplate

[foggy edge]

@sweet nacelle if you actually apply make sure to open their emails and sign up for stuff

They like demonstrated interest

[obtuse fractal]

If I go there I'm probably gonna request a housing release waiver

[foggy edge]

No supps and it's free

[sweet nacelle]

I did

[foggy edge]

So like what do you lose

[obtuse fractal]

How do they check if I open their email

[foggy edge]

If you have spots on your common app

[sweet nacelle]

but it takes up 1 spot among my 20

[obtuse fractal]

Oh maybe that's why I got deferred

[foggy edge]

they probs have softwares

[sullen pilot]

Don’t apply if you’re not going to go there

Don’t waste a slot

[obtuse fractal]

I never opened their emails nor attended events lol

[foggy edge]

i run a newsletter and i can check how many people open my emails

With a free plan

maybe if i pay i can check who opens then

[obtuse fractal]

Gmails?

[sullen pilot]

I opened all their emails and got deferred

[foggy edge]

yeah if you have other unis you wanna go to then don't bother

[obtuse fractal]

I should've opened their emails

[foggy edge]

im ngl i wish i hadn't applied to so many fee waiver schools cuz now i don't have space on common app

but it's nice to have so many acceptance offers

[sweet nacelle]

I need more safer target schools

[sullen pilot]

For what major

[sweet nacelle]

not schools that have acceptance rates in the single digits

[sweet nacelle]

I'm pre med

[foggy edge]

bu neu cwru privates publics maybe uw-m uiuc uva

washu emory

[sweet nacelle]

it sucks that I missed the ppsp

[obtuse fractal]

cwru premed is good

[sullen pilot]

Bro Emory and Washu are not safe targets

[sweet nacelle]

I'm doing bu neu uw-m

[sullen pilot]

Emory and washu are reaches for everybody

[obtuse fractal]

UGA maybe?

[sweet nacelle]

I'm only not very sure about cwru

[tranquil pilot]

FUCK UGA

if ur premed apply to cwru

[sweet nacelle]

I'm applying to Emory but it is not a safety

[foggy edge]

reach yes but not as much as a reach as t10s

[sweet nacelle]

ya now that it's free and no essays I'm happy

[foggy edge]

for Emory washu ^

[tranquil pilot]

yur

i applied to cwru for the same reason

and now i go here

[obtuse fractal]

@tranquil pilot is East Cleveland safe

since u go there

[tranquil pilot]

campus is safe

[main vector]

agreed

[tranquil pilot]

north of campus is cooked

[obtuse fractal]

but like

is it safe to commute

[main vector]

just dont go under the bridge past cia and ur good

from where

[obtuse fractal]

from around like Parma

[main vector]

thats like 30 minutes away

[obtuse fractal]

I think that's where I may live if I actually attend

[main vector]

huh

[obtuse fractal]

since I have family

there

[main vector]

ur required to live on campus

[obtuse fractal]

huh

bruh

[main vector]

yeah

[obtuse fractal]

can I not get a waiver

since I have family

[main vector]

unless ur like 30 mi away i tjonk

is it 30 mi away

[obtuse fractal]

i think so

[main vector]

how will u get there

[sullen pilot]

Also case housing is like 20k you should commute

[obtuse fractal]

drive

[obtuse fractal]

ye

that too

[main vector]

10k

[obtuse fractal]

dad said he'd rather buy me a condo than pay the housing costs

it's around like 15k

and I don't think I'll get much aid

[obtuse fractal]

so like do they have a waiver

to get out of first year housing

[main vector]

only if ur family lives there

u cant buy condo

has to be parent

40 mi

[obtuse fractal]

what if it's on my parents name

oh thanks

[main vector]

permanent residence

so not condo

[obtuse fractal]

yes but a condo does count as a house

like

an apartment that he bought

[obtuse fractal]

is that not permanent

[tranquil pilot]

why would u do that

when u havent got ur aid package yet

[main vector]

no lol

permanent residence is ur house or wherever u live rn

like the one u apply to common app with

otherwise ppl would buy apartments in other states to get in state tuition

[raw copper]

What's ur opinion on case

Do you like it

I hear people there are anti social

[main vector]

theyre nerds

[main vector]

i like it. it's hard to get a 4.0, the campus is pretty, it's amazing for pre med, no party life, nice clubs and stuff, cleveland is not great

[raw copper]

Might be true. All the nerds will make fun of me. Only diamond 1

I will pull out the dungeons and dragons set and then they will love me

Only problem is I don't have one

Will have to learn

That sounds done ngl

The big kicker for case for me is the grade deflation

I got deferred but we'll see

When it's hard to get good grades

/when professors are like only 4 kids cans get A

Pretty funny how the only people on commits are announcing only if it's a top top school

[main vector]

i dont think theres grade deflation im ngl

some classes r just hard

also theres no +-

A 90-100

[raw copper]

Even then Yeah but why go to a school where the rigor is so high when I can go to a similar school with same job prospects and get good grades easier

[main vector]

B 80-89

etc

[main vector]

very true

[raw copper]

Idk I got deferred so maybe I'm a little salty. The school is probably very good

[main vector]

it is

i got deferred too

but from ppsp

[raw copper]

What's ppsp

[main vector]

it's fine they r just playing hard to get

[main vector]

BS MD

u get into case med school conditionally

so ur seat is waiting for u in 4 yrs as long as u have like 3.6 gpa or something

[raw copper]

Oh

Bro what was that

I Screenshotted it

Too late

Again got it

[main vector]

rascal pizza

[raw copper]

Is this the lingo

Skibidi- Ohio Toliet= what did u get on number 7

Gamble?

Bro gamble on something you can make money

If your spending money

Bro when you think about over a long enough time frame you will always win more than you lose gambling

Trust me I'm in ap stats

[tranquil pilot]

na

always gamble

[obtuse fractal]

what if I permanently move over there

[main vector]

Trust me I tried doing this to be in state for ucla 😭 it’s not that easy it takes like a few years to gain residency

[sudden wing]

just marry ez

double benefit u get citizenship

[main vector]

Bro I’ve been on this idea for like 6 years 😭

[main vector]

I’m a US citizen

[sudden wing]

yeah but if u werent

or if ur partner isnt

oh yeah i remmber on the UT subreddit i saw someone marry for residency and their partner got citizenship from it LMAO

[obtuse fractal]

but it's not for instate tuition

it's for just living there

[main vector]

I know

They’re just strict

Like very strict about housing

[hexed cargo]

whats the stats of people who got in EA ?

[foggy edge]

a lot of people got admitted to spring so i dont think you can tell

[junior osprey]

i think it ranges but i had ~3.8 1560 and showed a little bit of demonstrated interest

[hushed sundial]

3.98/4.45 1550 w a little dem interest

[topaz silo]

u committin?

[hushed sundial]

prob not

i’m in state so i have cheaper options n i also don’t rly like cleveland 😭

osu CS is also better

[green python]

4.0 1570 with lots of demonstrated interest

[copper meadow]

go bucks ‼️

[knotty hinge]

I'm so cooked

[sweet nacelle]

what is dem interest tbh

what counts

[knotty hinge]

Like mailing lists going to events

Webinars

That typa Stuff

[sweet nacelle]

i opened their emails

is that enough

[knotty hinge]

It's something atleast

[hushed sundial]

so real

[hushed sundial]

i opened their mail and went to the admissions officer visit at my school

[junior osprey]

my admissions officer visited my school and i attended the meeting

[sweet nacelle]

im intl their AOs won't come

[hushed sundial]

so i was able to introduce myself and asked a couple unique questions

[junior osprey]

also opened some emails

[sweet nacelle]

but id assume i have little competition because all the ppl who want to go to US unis from Hong Kong are just betches for t20

[hushed sundial]

i asked ab their law school & the bs/ms which i think helped me bc it shows i’m thinking ab attending cwru for longer idk

idk my top choice is purdue so

[sweet nacelle]

ah purdue

i should think about them now

[meager copper]

4.8 W/4.0 UW 1500 sat. Went on a campus tour, so demonstrated interest

[fickle skiff]

3.5 1470 and some luh demonstrated interest

[topaz silo]

u committing ted?

[fickle skiff]

Bro its a lil early

I haven’t gotten any other decisions back

[topaz silo]

im thinking about doing it

[junior osprey]

i think i'd submit

i cant send the image but the 25th percentile sat is 1420

according to 22-23 cds

[wide wagon]

UW4.0 1550 no demonstrated interest

Private school in Ohio

[plain isle]

4.8w 36 act no demonstrated interest

[tawny skiff]

4.0uw 1590 a lil demonstrated

[light dust]

4.0uw, 4.6w 1570 decent demonstrated and leggy

[foggy edge]

4.0 uw (we don't do weighted) 35 act little bit demonstrated interest

[knotty hinge]

Yeah

If these r the stats I'm fried

[topaz silo]

97.5/100 GPA, Class rank: 1, I went test optional, zero interest

[hexed cargo]

i have given up hope

totally

ya all cracked asf

[topaz silo]

u applied to case

[hexed cargo]

yep

37/42 IB ~ Test Optional

i have no hope

[half magnet]

Ik someone who got in 38/45

I got differed and I have 40/45

38/42

[raw copper]

3.7 1500 mid Ecs some demonstrated interest. Deferred

[topaz silo]

I think they accepted me because I’m too bad

So they sure no other “better” school is gonna admit me

Yield

[half magnet]

That’s not true

They thought you were good not that you were ‘bad’

[gleaming fox]

if you r bad then your entire class must be balls wtf. They prolly took you bc you were very good and might of waitlisted you if you did RD as you might have seemed to be too good or smth

[topaz silo]

But my essay is shit

Everyone says

Commonapp

[foggy edge]

looking at the stats it's likely they just accepted based on stats

[topaz silo]

wtf essays?

like commonapp

they sure read it no?

[foggy edge]

i mean a bunch of people have high stats and most people's comments were related to their ecs

im guessing they checked ecs and stats and just decided, maybe skimmed essays idk

[topaz silo]

do u think purdue will do the same

💀

[foggy edge]

purdue is much more competitive plus they have 3 supps whereas case has none so no lol

if purdue didnt wanna read essays they probs wouldn't have supps

[topaz silo]

maybe read supps and skim PS

[tranquil pilot]

i got in purdue

with cwru level stats

[foggy edge]

why choose cwru then

isnt purdue coa must lower

and better ranked

[tranquil pilot]

im on scholarship here

[topaz silo]

CWRU much better for biomedical engineering

Premed

[cobalt ore]

did yall get good aid from cwru? i got deferred and lowk considering withdrawing

i do not love this school that much lol

[knotty hinge]

They meet all demonstrated need

Whatever the FAFSA says your efc is is probably what you're gonna be paying

[past atlas]

only 30k scholarship

so like 50k+ per year still

im prob gonna go tho if i dont get in anywhere else cause my parents will be paying

[wide wagon]

Just got my acceptance package

Pretty nice

[vernal merlin]

oooh what was in it?

[wide wagon]

Stapler, keychain, some brochures, a really nice map folded into a little card

A string bag

[kind gust]

what sort of stats are they looking for if i’m applying rd for cs

[wide wagon]

If u scroll up, just from the few that responded here who got into EA

Pretty insane stats

Obviously this is a biased sample but

[tawny skiff]

ea probably easier than rd slightly

also general is easier than CS

[wide wagon]

Yes

[tawny skiff]

but u dont need a 4.0uw obviously

[hushed sundial]

i applied ea for cs and had a 1550 w/ a 3.98/4.45! but my ecs were really ass

[hushed sundial]

were you ea or ed

[wide wagon]

EA

[hushed sundial]

wait did u commit yet

[wide wagon]

Hell no

Case charges me 56k a year after scholarships

Fuck that

[hushed sundial]

oh okay ig i’ll get mine soon then

[wide wagon]

They don’t have enough pull to be charging that much

[hushed sundial]

yeah im waiting on purdue 💀

[wide wagon]

Why wouldn’t I just go to OSU where I pay like 28k a year

[hushed sundial]

id rather go osu than cwru

[wide wagon]

Yea at this point I don’t even know why I applied to case in the first place

[hushed sundial]

no supps

[wide wagon]

But it’s nice to get an acceptance to a selective school

[hushed sundial]

yeah i’m glad they came out when they did my acceptance is giving me hope for my harder schools

obviously purdue eng is harder but it’s giving me false hope yk

[wide wagon]

Same

But idk if it’s hope or delusion

[hushed sundial]

why can’t it be both!

[wide wagon]

I genuinely can’t wait for late march

It’s gonna be a grueling three months

[hushed sundial]

i didn’t apply to ivies my hardest school is vanderbilt

but that comes out late too

[wide wagon]

3.98 1550

Should’ve done ivies

[hushed sundial]

my ECs were so ass

(are)

[wide wagon]

Mine are too bro

My essays suck too

But I shot my shot still

[hushed sundial]

i think my writing helps me

[wide wagon]

Used all 20 spots on common app

Lol

[hushed sundial]

yeah idk i’m not a big fan of ivy vibes

like i visited uchicago and hated it

[wide wagon]

Why

[hushed sundial]

j did not like the vibes

[wide wagon]

Anything specific?

[hushed sundial]

i like big schools better

[wide wagon]

Hm yea fair

[hushed sundial]

and i didn’t like the area it was in

i don’t want to be scared to leave campus

but that was j uchi

i visited umich right after and loved it

[wide wagon]

I’m waiting for umich too

🙏

Late Jan

[tawny skiff]

its not an ivy

i wonder who here applied ED

[hushed sundial]

yeah but the vibes r similar

[tawny skiff]

fair

[hushed sundial]

like the competitive nature

[green python]

literallyyyy

Ohio state >>>

man I’d be so happy to go to osu

[tired breach]

theres no way

case is way more prestigious

[foggy edge]

damn i want an acceptance package

[foggy edge]

no lol

[wide wagon]

Not really but it sure is way more expensive

[topaz silo]

i agree

[topaz silo]

bruh

did u just say osu is more prestigious than cwru 💀

no way

Case Western is ranked as the best university in Ohio

[foggy edge]

im an ardent us news stan

[topaz silo]

US NEWS SAYS CMU IS A T24 OR SMT

[foggy edge]

cmu is cracked bro what are you on

[copper meadow]

if you base your happiness on going to a school based on its ranking youre doing it wrong

[tranquil pilot]

all private schools got fucked in rankings this year

we went from like 33 to 53 in like 2 years

[knotty hinge]

Rankings also took into account cost and ROI and shit I think

Which is why privates dropped so hard

[green python]

I think case is a great school too but they’d fully charge me $15k more per year than the net price calculator estimate so I’m holding a grudge 🥰

[knotty hinge]

Me when my efc is 0

[gleaming fox]

are you automatically considered for merit based aid for case?

[hushed sundial]

yep

[gleaming fox]

doesnt case give good aid?

[gaunt matrix]

No

[foggy edge]

someone at case said that with FAFSA releasing late, they're under promising aid and might give more later so

[wide wagon]

Decent, many EA people here got around 30k per year merit scholarship

But because case is so expensive in the first place you’re still paying a lot without need based aid

[tawny skiff]

its still 50-60k with my scholarship

which is the second highest ive seen

some people got 45k...

whichll make it more like 40k left

[wide wagon]

Yea fuck that

[gleaming fox]

does EA vs RD affect aid

I woulda EAed but im applying PPSP

[foggy edge]

45k scholarship is only for stem

[remote wren]

is there need based aid though?

[knotty hinge]

They meet all

[obtuse fractal]

even for intl? (qualifying for fafsa)

[wide wagon]

If u qualify for fafsa how are u an intl

[foggy edge]

us citizen probs

but that doesnt count as intl

[tawny skiff]

ea packages arrived earlier today

(yesterday technically)

we love ourselves a stapler

[foggy edge]

noooooooo i didnt get mine :(

intl moment

should i update my address to a us one

[half magnet]

Do you have a us passport?

[foggy edge]

yeah

my dad lives in the us

so i could put his address

but like might be too late now?

if they've already sent packets

but like broskis gave me a $30k/y scholarship how hard can it be to send a package across the world

[half magnet]

I swear it’s online am I wrong?

[foggy edge]

what is online?

[half magnet]

Like your fin aid package

[foggy edge]

oh yeah

i meant the ea acceptance package

[obtuse fractal]

no

[obtuse fractal]

eligible non us citizen

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/eligibility/requirements/non-us-citizens&sa=U&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjr3ez6t8SDAxW6HDQIHWZdCgMQFnoECB8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1Sb8NUR_hlqEQQ4t46cDms

[wide wagon]

So ur not really a intl

[knotty hinge]

Forgot I even chose test opt

I'm fried

[devout nymph]

They fucked the question up

They said like will you not be submitting scores 💀

I changed it tho I’m p sure

[foggy edge]

yall do you think if i change my mailing address ill get my acceptance package

[past atlas]

idk but nothings good in it anyways

its just for yield protection tryna get ppl to go

[foggy edge]

bro i heard they send out drawstring bags and everything

[hushed sundial]

it’s not good quality or anything

mine had the bag, a stapler, a notepad, a sticker, a booklet, and a map of cleveland

[forest obsidian]

im tryna self report a superscore to case western

it says i can't but on their website i can???

[junior osprey]

you can

[forest obsidian]

https://case.edu/admission/apply/requirements-enhancements#:~:text=We “superscore” our students',of%20the%20SAT%20and%20ACT.

[junior osprey]

oh

nvm didnt see superscore

not sure

[forest obsidian]

this is so stupid

[junior osprey]

maybe u self report both scores separately and then they look at the highest sections from each

[forest obsidian]

oh maybe

[junior osprey]

best to prob email the admissions office and ask

[forest obsidian]

eh idc

imma let them figure it out

[runic grotto]

I guess as long as it conveys your interest😭

[wide wagon]

There’s a short answer??

[half magnet]

When is it due again

[hexed cargo]

guys how i convince my parents case is actually a really good school for bme

dad doesnt wanna sign the ed2 form

reason being " i have never heard of it, so it cant be that good"

[topaz silo]

parents have to sign for ed?

tf thats messed up

[hexed cargo]

yes sadly

[topaz silo]

damn

[topaz silo]

It's amazing for BME

honestly

i might do premed/BME

[hexed cargo]

ik i m deffo doing premed bme

but howw do i convince him its a good school

[topaz silo]

idk

rankings?

lol

unless ur dad is delu

[hexed cargo]

he is HYPSM and oxbridge graduate so deffo not delulu

i pointed out it was basically in t50

his arguement is rankins dont mean fuck all

[topaz silo]

he real for that

rankings r shit

say nothin

dartmouth ranked #260 or smt

lmao

[hexed cargo]

what

the actual fuck

[topaz silo]

https://www.topuniversities.com/universities/dartmouth-college

#237 actually

[hexed cargo]

World rankings

so understanable

but it should probally be in t100

considering its a t20

[topaz silo]

dartmouth should be a t30 at least imo

[hexed cargo]

nawww not in the qs world ranking

soo many places

[foggy edge]

how many people here got a $30k scholly

[hexed cargo]

o yea the accepted people

whats ur coa after aid

i heard case is supposed to be really generous w its aid

[foggy edge]

the only aid i got was loans 😭

But someone who goes to case said they're under promising cuz FAFSA not out

[hexed cargo]

i smell rich indian family

[foggy edge]

Middle class

[hexed cargo]

income bracklet 30-50k usd/yr ?

[foggy edge]

well💀

ok i don't wanna share my income but

[hexed cargo]

give a general range my man

[foggy edge]

my net price was about 10k lower than what i actually got

[hexed cargo]

30-50 is a HUGEE Range

[hexed cargo]

makes sense

[foggy edge]

and my aid package was basically 30k/y scholarship + 5k/y loans

[hexed cargo]

thats like hella expensive for case

[foggy edge]

yeah

it's ok it wasn't one of my top choices

only applied cuz it was free😭

[hexed cargo]

ya all talented people man

1500 smth sat

gawd i still hate myself not taking sat seriously

my npc makes no sense

mostly cuz as in international student how tf am i getting grants

even if remove all the grants coa should be 22k

which is very doable

assuming i get screwed like ya all and 10k less than it

its still doable

as long as i dont have to pay for housing the last year

[past atlas]

my parents said the same exact thing

but i wasnt eding but they dont think its good lol

[obtuse fractal]

forge

Jk

[topaz silo]

can i leave the mailing list if i alrdy got in

[foggy edge]

no theyll rescind your acceptance ||/j||

[topaz silo]

😭

did u unsubscribe?

[foggy edge]

nah

[topaz silo]

why

they're so

annoying

[foggy edge]

meh i dont have the energy to

[hexed cargo]

bro switched from CWRU to purdue soo quick

[fair dock]

just applied here for shits and giggles

[foggy edge]

same but then they gave me 30k scholly so im like

[half magnet]

Yo

Anybody know how long the why case essay is meant to be

For the deffered applicants we got that option to write thst essay

Is there a word count

[runic grotto]

As long as your demonstrated interest🙃

[obtuse fractal]

anyone apply ed2

[worn mason]

hi guys how do i demonstrate interest

as in

how many live sessions do i need to attend

[hexed cargo]

yes

[hexed cargo]

too late for it now

usually having a few long email chains post live sessions seem to be enough

[worn mason]

i got deferred ea thats why

i mean if its not gonna matter then i wotn do it but lol

[hexed cargo]

in that case write a letter of continue interest making it very case specific

sending in one of those shows alot

apprently

[worn mason]

beyond doing the optional short answer?

[hexed cargo]

if they allow u to write a letter in the portal itself

use that then

[main vector]

That essay matters very much so do it

[main vector]

I did like 600w last year I think

[worn mason]

i already did that one

i meant

do i need to write a letter of continued interest

after doing that also

[foggy edge]

didn't you do bu ed2?

[hexed cargo]

shuuush

[foggy edge]

what if you get in both tho

[hexed cargo]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[foggy edge]

yeah but what if financial aid is good idk

[hexed cargo]

i would commit both ?

who cares

[foggy edge]

wtf how😭

[hexed cargo]

pay both of them the stupid 500$ they ask

then be enrolled

but get visa only for one

and ghost the other one

or once again claim i cant afford flight tickets

aint no way they wanna me that bad

sooo many ways

to get out of it

[foggy edge]

colleges sometimes share ed lists right

[hexed cargo]

kinda

alot of laws behind how they are allowed to disclose it

https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2018/04/09/justice-department-starts-investigation-early-decision-admissions

Some top colleges were sharing lists of students accepted early decision, and they claimed to do so to verify that students weren’t breaking any ED rules, and that the policy wouldn’t impact one’s chances of admission. Still, this practice came under investigation from the Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2018 for potentially breaking federal antitrust laws

[obtuse fractal]

Mine was only like 250 words cause it said it was a 'short answer'

[runic grotto]

So if you don’t attend the live sessions. That’s not demonstrated interest? 🫠

[gleaming fox]

Does emailing an admissions counselor count as demonstrated interest?

I met with a counselor at school when they visited@and I emailed her a couple times

Abt some questions

What If you missed your live session 💀

I missed mine a while back but I’m in one rn

[mellow egret]

I did around 300 didn't want to make a novel for them to read.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[half magnet]

What did you guys write in your case essay?

[wide wagon]

Just got this email

$32,500 per year now

Was originally 30k a year

[junior osprey]

also got an extra 2.5 k

[past atlas]

lmfao i guess everyone got this

[past atlas]

did the date change for u?

the letter on the date shows the same for me

2.5k is like no difference lol i couldnt even tell if they updated it or not

prob just another marketting tactic

[wide wagon]

Good news but now I’m feeling less special lol

[past atlas]

i dont feel special either

[wide wagon]

Fr, maybe they intentionally marked everyone’s amount by 2.5k lower lol

[past atlas]

im prob gonna end up going stil cause its either here or rutgers unless i magically get in somewhere else

[past atlas]

"a small number of students"

"everyone on a2c"

lol

[junior osprey]

ig not enough people commited

[hushed sundial]

mine increased by 2.5k too

[junior osprey]

i think they sent it to everybody who got in ea

my friends got it too

[hushed sundial]

went from 36.5k to 39k

ill ask my friend if the same thing happened to him hold on

[foggy edge]

Same haha

[main vector]

no that is your LOCI

[gray cedar]

Did everyone who got accepted get a personalized little PS at the end of their acceptance letter?

[obsidian kestrel]

a too see

[foggy edge]

yes!
