Case Western Reserve University (2023-2024)

[vast leaf]

patent that

isn’t this school in Ohio

[mint cypress]

honestly me with davis i loved davis as a target but I got rejected, dont gaf anymore though cause I got irvine 2 hours later

[vast leaf]

I just came to find out some info for my friend

[astral sand]

wouldve absolutely gone if davis + sd hadnt taken me

[vast leaf]

Isn’t Irvine better

[mint cypress]

yeah thats why i couldnt be mad

[vast leaf]

yeah so u chillin lol

[harsh crest]

yeah its pre-med is good

also cwru gives generous aid and grants so I really looked forward to it...

[knotty hinge]

I'll go to school in the fuckin Bermuda triangle if it's free

[mint cypress]

im already uva so if shit htis the fan idrgaf

[knotty hinge]

[vast leaf]

idk how the hell I did cmu but I am so estatic and I think I peaked

[astral sand]

im not allowing any talk about how irvine is a good school

[vast leaf]

just go to a t200 and they’ll give u a full ride lol

[rapid folio]

15K merit aid only smh

[rapid folio]

congrats

[past scroll]

Waitlisted 1570 sat 36 act bro im getting tired of this

[knotty hinge]

Nah my stats aren't full ride material

[mint cypress]

cmu cs honestly insane dont even consider uva atp unless finaid is the problem

[knotty hinge]

That's why getting into a full need school like this is so big to me

[rapid folio]

HOW
I have 1530 myself

[harsh crest]

my friend in pre-med got a grand total of 75k/year from aid + scholarships/grants

[knotty hinge]

Yield protected most likely lol

[round relic]

wait did u guys get personal notes in ur acceptance letters from case

[mint cypress]

nah thats yield protect df

[vast leaf]

yeah and I have 0 efc/-1500 sai so hopefully full ride CMU would go nuts

[rapid folio]

wtf

[knotty hinge]

Yea

[round relic]

SO CUTE

[mint cypress]

youre just waiting on it now right

[vast leaf]

has to be lol

[harsh crest]

we're intls too

[rapid folio]

to be fair I dont qualify for need based aid

[vast leaf]

yeah yeah

I also have 12 more decisions

[kind gust]

yep

[rapid folio]

😭
I keep forgetting this

[vast leaf]

If I get into nyu it’s full ride as well

[past scroll]

I dont think so i got rejected notre dame ut austin and mit for CS i think my common app essay is a red flag

[mint cypress]

i got in with 0aps so thats def yield

[vast leaf]

because of their 100k rule

[rapid folio]

hope u get in

[mint cypress]

ah thats neat

[rapid folio]

Imma withdraw fr

[mint cypress]

if you get into cmu cs u def have a good shot for other schools

[vast leaf]

zenyatta my boy

[knotty hinge]

Idk about Austin if ur instate but mit and Notre dame get a lot of similar applicants to you stat wise so that's probably just a coin toss to them ngl

[vast leaf]

and cmu is the first school where I submitted my reworked essay and I think it made a huge difference

[knotty hinge]

Case REALLY cares about yield and interest because their yield rate is so low

[vast leaf]

because my commonapp essay for rd is really good but my ea one sucked

[rapid folio]

reworking the essays is imp asf

[past scroll]

Alright thanks man hopefully, just gotta see ig its hard not sulking over these rejections and waitlists tho lol

[knotty hinge]

Which is why if they think ur gonna go somewhere better they might reject you

[rapid folio]

yee
I fucked up my JHU ED1 doing that

[mint cypress]

honestly me with my ucs vs my commonapp essay

my commonapps was so much better than my ucs even though I crammed both of them

[vast leaf]

because I kept trying to force an idea I loved into my essay but when I just wrote it naturally it worked better

[mint cypress]

miracle i got into ucsd

[rapid folio]

😭
My ECs were all related to JHU lmfao

and they still took me in

gg

[vast leaf]

I was trying to put too many things and when I made it simple it came out perfect

[knotty hinge]

I genuinely believe I might have gotten accepted because my stats aren't crazy and they think I have a high chance of going there

[astral sand]

i dont know if i really fucked up my commonapp PS or its 9th grade totalling my chances cause no private school better than temple took me

[knotty hinge]

They r correct in that case but ya

[mint cypress]

whats the gpa though

[knotty hinge]

3.6

[vast leaf]

you can write and ec your way out of subpar stats

that’s what I did

[mint cypress]

ah gotcha

[vast leaf]

well idk if a 1510 is subpar but

[mint cypress]

that makes sense why getting a full ride is harder

[vast leaf]

for cmu cs maybe

[knotty hinge]

Yeah

[mint cypress]

is your math spiked at least

[rapid folio]

yapping about the emotional journey is effective asf

[calm island]

Case western where is my decision 😡😡😡

[vast leaf]

770 math 740 reading

[mint cypress]

thats probably ayt for cmu

[vast leaf]

mid

I didn’t really study

[mint cypress]

math matters alot more but nothing crazy

[rapid folio]

where's ur secondary transcript 😭

[vast leaf]

so im ok with that

[calm island]

This is worse than getting rejected

[calm island]

I SENT IT

[vast leaf]

getting a 1510 with my health conditions is actually impressive asf tho

[mint cypress]

closure ❤️

[calm island]

THROUGH NAVIANCE

[mint cypress]

😭

[rapid folio]

wtf is that

[calm island]

CASE WESTERN MORE LIKE CASE BUMMER

[torn quiver]

same

[rapid folio]

💀

this is sm new info

[calm island]

Mining away

I don know

[rapid folio]

I just asked my counsellor to send it

[rapid folio]

u got UGA anw

[calm island]

What to mine I’ll screw western anyway

[mint cypress]

uga better

[dapper vigil]

Waitlisted Case Western with 1550 sat

[mint cypress]

u dont wanna live on ohio do you

[dapper vigil]

Bruh

[mint cypress]

bro ong case is yield protecting

how df did I get in with a 1500 then

[dapper vigil]

Idk

[rapid folio]

fr

[calm island]

This feels like a personal rejection worse than that actually

[rapid folio]

now Im offended they accepted me

[dapper vigil]

This wasn’t yield prot imo

[rapid folio]

😔

[mint cypress]

were ecs mid

[dapper vigil]

My essays were just not it

[calm island]

I DON CARE THAT WESTERN REJECTS ME ITS BETTER THAN GHOSTING ME

[mint cypress]

ah that makes sense

cuz its only commonapp

[calm island]

😠

I AM IMPATIENT

Nvm

[mint cypress]

ngl

[knotty hinge]

https://i.imgur.com/5qa9TuI.png

[calm island]

Case western more like I’ll sue western for a case

[knotty hinge]

no wonder they care about yield

christ

[mint cypress]

thats like davis' yield tho

but davis just gets canibalized by the other ucs

[rapid folio]

ngl their biggest plus is their PPSP

[mint cypress]

so it doesent really matter

[rapid folio]

which is why ppl apply

(I did at least)

cuz otherwise the uni is peepee poopoo

👎

[knotty hinge]

im not a medical guy im cs

[mint cypress]

case premed probably the best thing about it ngl

[knotty hinge]

so

[rapid folio]

ye

[mint cypress]

case cs still solid though iirc

[calm island]

Because all those kids that got accepted got into a better or a place that suits them.

[rapid folio]

So getting into CWRU means u get into better unis 😱😱

CWRU the best indicator for success fr

[mint cypress]

kinda but also cause the bar for case is kinda low

[calm island]

That is why I need my decision

[rapid folio]

[calm island]

I got unknown

[mint cypress]

where youd pick t50s and t40s over case

same thing with fordham

you get good applicants but most have better options and see them as a safety

[rapid folio]

I haven't even heard of Fordham

💀

[mint cypress]

but other real safeties get mid applicants so they gotta work with what they got

[mint cypress]

bye 💀

its a jesuit school in ny

[calm island]

Case western is very sus

[mint cypress]

kinda like a worse gtown if that makes sense

[rapid folio]

ohh

[mint cypress]

probably why its yield is ass cause bc and gtown applicants pick those over fordham

[rapid folio]

NYC is costly asf ❌❌

[knotty hinge]

me getting into case but rejected from northeastern

WAITLISTED FROM STEVENS

[mint cypress]

same problem w davis

[knotty hinge]

[rapid folio]

I aint wanna bleed myself dry getting a shawarma

[mint cypress]

bru i got biology notes due in 24 hours

[calm island]

HOLY COW I DOXXED MYSELF

[mint cypress]

[mint cypress]

[calm island]

OOPS

[mint cypress]

[rapid folio]

[mint cypress]

ayt peace thanks for the conbo

[knotty hinge]

i got into uofsc

(I live in south carolina)

[rapid folio]

I got my last final in 48 hrs

🤩

bio

[calm island]

They waitlisted me as a safety school 😡😡😡

[gentle oxide]

what is trasnfer acceptnac erate

[calm island]

They will suffer my wrath

[rapid folio]

check their common data set

google it

has all the info u need fr

[gentle oxide]

im getting so many dif answers

from online

also ic ant find the cds trasnfer

trhing

[knotty hinge]

think uofsc is one of those publics that gets a lot of intl and oos applies cus its cheaper than other oos publics iirc so i guess thats why

[calm island]

67% acceptance rate and getting waitlisted is crazy

[knotty hinge]

like when it comes to intls applying to publics i always see alabama and uofsc getting recommended lmao

[calm island]

😡

[rapid folio]

ye

Intl2usa is filled with these unis

[cobalt ore]

damn i got in i was expecting a rejection/waitlist

[knotty hinge]

same

[cobalt ore]

basically no demonstrated interest and a 2 sentence loci

[knotty hinge]

i was rd so i had no loci

[cobalt ore]

woo i got into 2/3 of my deferred schools

[knotty hinge]

like after the umiami waitlist i thought it was over

[cobalt ore]

i dont think i got any scholarships tho

[knotty hinge]

doomed to rejects or waitlists

[cobalt ore]

for case

it should say it w ur letter right

[knotty hinge]

should be in the letter for merit

[astral sand]

nuh uh

[knotty hinge]

for need based there's a separate letter

[astral sand]

rejected cwru

https://tenor.com/view/thomas-mueller-thomas-muller-fcb-bayern20-fcbsvw-gif-19337576

[astral sand]

(berkeley im lookin at you)

[cobalt ore]

oh well

[rapid folio]

Berkeley got no premed shit 😔

to whoever who was asking for the CWRU transfer info

https://case.edu/ir/sites/default/files/2023-02/CDS_CWRU (22-23)_0.pdf

Pg 14

gg

[astral sand]

https://tenor.com/view/fake-punch-gif-9826552

unfortunate

[knotty hinge]

even for transfers only 1/3 go

thats crazy

[kind gust]

if you still have the cds open how many applicants do they usually get per year

[knotty hinge]

its like a perpetual backup

[rapid folio]

lmaooo

[astral sand]

low % and still used as one

[rapid folio]

there

[oak cedar]

what did people get for their ps messages

mine was “the undergraduate research office could be a great place to jump-start your research at CWRU!”

[rapid folio]

They said they liked reading about my MUN Club and invited me to join their MUN Club on campus

[oak cedar]

yeah they gave me some bs cause mine was about swimming

[rapid folio]

LMAO ONLY 1K ENROLLED

[cobalt ore]

1.5k out of 10k is insaneeee

[oak cedar]

they just picked a random ec

[cobalt ore]

that shitty ass yield damn😭😭

[rapid folio]

I would shut down the uni out of embarassment

ngl

[astral sand]

has this just devolved into cwru shitting

[cobalt ore]

why their yield so tradh damn

[rapid folio]

Having the balls to charge 88K a year is insane

[raw copper]

Trying to increase their yield guys. Dont fall for it, they don't actually care about you more than others( I'm salty)

[astral sand]

used as a safety

[rapid folio]

get it down to 40K and then we can talk

[astral sand]

you get cwru you get better

[rapid folio]

🗣

[rapid folio]

yee

[cobalt ore]

damn it was a target for me

[astral sand]

tbh i applied as a back up if the UCs didnt pan out

grades wise it was a reach for me

but i needed something for peace of mind

[rapid folio]

I thought UC Davis was a safety 🤡

[kind gust]

is case supposed to be a reach

like deadass

[astral sand]

for me anything below 45% was a reach

[rapid folio]

Anywhere I get into is a safety cuz they accepted someone like me 🗣🗣

[astral sand]

but now im holding a below 25% uni in my hands

dont know what to think

[astral sand]

this fr

[rapid folio]

should have shot for the ivies
Potential is there

transfer admissions 🙏

Transfer to Harvard

[astral sand]

nah i was rocking a 3.92w and 3.64uw

[rapid folio]

[main vector]

General

except nursing and music u have to like do separately for that

[knotty hinge]

that he liked that i was an announcer for my school

[rapid folio]

[rapid folio]

[marsh patrol]

i thought it was just what they called the need based scholarship

oh ty

[oak cedar]

this gives me hope for the future

[main vector]

nah that’s called a university grant

[remote wren]

Thanks robert r mccullough very insightful

[oak cedar]

anyways i think case is my best optiok rn

[remote wren]

True

[oak cedar]

or atleast very close

[remote wren]

Im just waiting for packages bc even with merits idk wtf itll look like for me

[calm island]

They didn’t

Give me

HOLDDD THEPHONE

[oak cedar]

yeah for case

[remote wren]

i need to relog back in again

LMFAO

[oak cedar]

thats how people know

their total costs

[main vector]

they’re underestimating aid bc fafsa isn’t working rn

so if it seems high expect more

[oak cedar]

oh

im not getting anything fafaa

[main vector]

they said they’ll give more but not take away

[oak cedar]

fafsa

[marsh patrol]

will there be an update once fafsa is processed and everything?

[oak cedar]

probably

[main vector]

Ya

[marsh patrol]

bc rn the cost is a lot higher than i was expecting 😭

okok ty

[main vector]

they said it won’t go lower than what u have

[rapid folio]

this is only CWRU letter that mattered 😔

[oak cedar]

is it weird all my case emails go into promotions and not my main inbox

[remote wren]

Bctheyre a fake school

[main vector]

Dw CWRU SOM is 110k/yr

[rapid folio]

AW HELL NAH
ISNT 100K A YEAR THE NORM?

[main vector]

They accept like 12/3200

[rapid folio]

(I dont the mind the fees tbh)

[main vector]

So don’t get ur feelings hurt

[main vector]

No

[rapid folio]

nvm lmaoo
It wasn't meant to be

[main vector]

a lot of schools r cheaper

I got rejected as well from PPSP

But I’m glad bc I didn’t know it was so expensive

[oak cedar]

everyone gets rejected

i didnt apply

[rapid folio]

u miss 100% of the shots u dont take 🗣🗣

[main vector]

also a current cwru som student told me to not go there if I want to do surgery

[oak cedar]

but im actually really hyped for all the case premed majors

theyre really cool

[main vector]

Bc they use HoloLens instead of cadaver lab for anatomy

[foggy edge]

reminder to respond to poll!

[oak cedar]

tbh surgery in general is filled with egotists so maybe a good thing

[main vector]

I want to do surgery

LMFAO

[oak cedar]

i dont think im getting into my local bsmd 💀

[rapid folio]

I wanna do oncology

[main vector]

Oh seidmen is very good here

[calm island]

X for not getting a decision help

[rapid folio]

my only knowledge of surger is Good Doctor

[main vector]

The cancer center

[oak cedar]

the dude i shadowed warned me about you..

[rapid folio]

allat blood is not for me

[oak cedar]

damn surgeons.

[main vector]

🤭

[rapid folio]

ohh

[main vector]

I love seidman cancer center

It’s so pretty

I wish I worked there instead of the neuro ICU 💀

[rapid folio]

I read this as sidemen lmaoo

[main vector]

the nurses r so nice there

[oak cedar]

speaking of that

does case love u

take care of u

[main vector]

the finaid department hates me but otherwise ya

[oak cedar]

damn..

[main vector]

I’ve been annoying them like 3x a week since I got here

[oak cedar]

case is actually looking like a really good option

[main vector]

“Give me more money”

“Now I want more money”

“Why do you hate me”

[oak cedar]

“the freshman got more give me more”

[main vector]

Lowkey I might say that

They r rly stingy with me

I cried my eyes out in their office and they only gave me a $4400 loan

Subsidized though

[oak cedar]

wtf..

tozix

toxic

[main vector]

Ya I have like crazy medical bills

But they don’t care

[oak cedar]

ill leave rotting fish at their soor

door

[main vector]

🙏

They better not be stingy next yr

I am soooo excited for sophomore housing

They’re building new dorms rn

For sophomores

[oak cedar]

they actually just love us more

shouldve just been conceived later

[main vector]

Fr

good luck to the freshmen housing system everyone 🙏🙏🙏

It is rough

(It crashes)

[winter sierra]

I'll be sure to accept by .

a very specific date

[jolly elbow]

Case has a very good reputation for BME it seems. Any inputs from current students?

[main vector]

VERY good BME

It looks difficult though 😭

[main vector]

May 1

Idk why they left it out

[jolly elbow]

For breadth courses (BME major), looks like you can pick up 3+3 courses from mgmt itself. Is it possible to do a minor in mgmt if interested in that case?

[main vector]

u can minor in anything

but yes it would be easy to bc of breadth

[jolly elbow]

Awesome! Thanks!

[cobalt ore]

huh whatt

case selling

[knotty hinge]

If the FAFSA tells them I need more than whatever the css profile thinks I need will they go with the FAFSA or the css profile

[heady valley]

Was anyone else given a really low grant? My case western grant was like 3-4x lower than other greats I got from other universities. Idk how that works since they all make the grant from the CSS profile.

[knotty hinge]

Rly just tryna figure out where that 3k they're expecting me to pay comes from 😭

[worn mason]

waitlisted 💀

[round relic]

wait

case came out w aid packages?

Oh!

[calm island]

Where

Is

My

Decision

[knotty hinge]

Lmao

Is something missing on your portal

[calm island]

Yes?..

But it’s minor

[knotty hinge]

like what

you could always email them

[calm island]

Secondary school report but isn’t it just transcript?

w>

[knotty hinge]

dawg

thats sum your counselor has to submit

like thats a report its something your counselor or whatever has to answer questions about you and shit

[calm island]

I already requested that through Naviance.

[knotty hinge]

they seemingly didn't get it

and definitely is not your transcript

[winter bramble]

yo if i got into case am i fucked for other colleges cuz i heard they yield protect

[calm island]

Colleges don’t talk to each other

[knotty hinge]

your acceptance or rejection from one college has no real bearing on your acceptance or rejection from another

[round relic]

wait is getting into case not a good thing 😣

[barren pecan]

It details the classes available at your school as well as average test scores and other information about your school

[knotty hinge]

your school most definitely screwed up if you requested that and they didnt give it

[calm island]

Anecdotal evidence: I got a free-ride from UGA with a 16% acceptance scholarship despite not being test optional: 1160 SAT score. Yet got denied from my safety.

[calm island]

Indeed

[winter bramble]

maybe i should have applied

[calm island]

Are you instate?

[winter bramble]

no

[calm island]

UGA OOS acceptance rate is 25%

[main vector]

no colleges don’t know where else u got in

[oak cedar]

some top colleges are in a mysterious coalition to share info because of the whole ed violation thing but not much else

pretty sure its only for violating es

ed

[forest obsidian]

YOOO

I GOT IN FOR CS

29k a year scholarship

yo nvm this is still expensive asf

i’m not going

💀

[tall siren]

😂

[knotty hinge]

Couldn't be me I'm poor

[knotty hinge]

[forest obsidian]

i’m not getting shit for financial aid

also i didn’t submit my fafsa

guys can i ask them to match my rutgers instate tutition 🤣

31k/yr

[main vector]

they’re gonna say what they said to me which was basically “go there if it’s less expensive then” 💀💀

[forest obsidian]

wtf does this mean

and what is the working shit

do i gotta work

[main vector]

U can take them if u want but u don’t have to

[main vector]

R ur parents paying for college?

[forest obsidian]

nah

i am

[main vector]

oh real just like me 😭😭😭

[main vector]

Then take the loan if u choose to go to cwru bc it’s less interest rate than private loans

[forest obsidian]

the work thing

[main vector]

And the campus employment is just if u want a campus job it helps u bc they’re more likely to give u the job if u have that

[forest obsidian]

i gotta work for 3k?

[main vector]

But u don’t have to take it

[forest obsidian]

okay

so it’s really 60k

[main vector]

Ya

[main vector]

Do ur parents make a lot of $?

[forest obsidian]

good amt

[main vector]

Do u have a 529 plan

[forest obsidian]

more than enough to not get any aid

idk what that is

[main vector]

Y r they not paying

[main vector]

Savings account for college money parents can open

Tax free for them

[forest obsidian]

long story

but imma pay cuz i can

[main vector]

Oh r u rich urself

Bc if u take 60k out in loans every yr I’m ngl good luck paying it off

[forest obsidian]

i won’t take out a loan but i don’t wanna pay that much

[main vector]

I take 40k in loans myself and I’m scared 💀

[forest obsidian]

i’m tryna get more aid

[main vector]

bro is balling

[main vector]

Ur not gonna get any aid if ur parents r rich

[forest obsidian]

[main vector]

then you’ll probably pay 0

[forest obsidian]

😮😮

yayyyyy

[forest obsidian]

should i wait for proof with the 2023 tax thing

or do i just do it now

[main vector]

Yes

It’s required

You need to show some kind of proof like a tax return

But I would definitely do the appeal as soon as you have the 2023 tax return

[forest obsidian]

got it

[cobalt ore]

that nice price is insane

$200k in loans WHAT THE FUCK

where are yall getting ur aid packages from@bruhh

[cobalt ore]

jfc whyyy

[main vector]

my parents r not pay for college

[cobalt ore]

there wasn’t anywhere cheaper?

[main vector]

no 💀 ucla 71k Baylor 49k

[calm island]

Where

Is my

Decision

[cobalt ore]

DAMN

im sorry

[knotty hinge]

It's probably because your school didn't give a report lmao

I'd email them and ask if that was the reason and also talk to your counselor or whoever and ask them what the hell happened

[elfin widget]

i think case used my old financial aid info back from EA

bc i have 2 ppl in my family going to college now

but the financial aid letter said only 1

[viscid dragon]

Has anyone gotten an email for the Eleanor and Andrew squire scholarship yet

[languid fulcrum]

oh weird are you sure that’s the max

[knotty hinge]

Nah some ppl r getting 45

I got 38

[main vector]

nah not this yr 😭 ppl r getting 45.5k max, last yr was 35k

I think it’s the screw up with FAFSA so theyre giving more merit

[main vector]

U can appeal finaid

[languid fulcrum]

holy shit they scammed u tho

[main vector]

Ya 💀

not as scammed as tamu

I got 0 merit or finaid

[languid fulcrum]

i would give u my money if i could 😭

[main vector]

I was like fuck you wtf 😭😭

[languid fulcrum]

bro that’s crazy

i didn’t apply to tamu tho

ut 🤞

[main vector]

tamu was my backup backup

[calm island]

Case western took my money, where is my decision?

[main vector]

Ya I got capped then appeal reject

But I got ucla

[languid fulcrum]

yo the goat

[main vector]

UT just rly didn’t like me!

I would’ve gone there if they let me in

[languid fulcrum]

ut is super weird unless youre auto

[main vector]

Ya I was top 15% so

I had 0 chance

competitive public school 🤭

[languid fulcrum]

kinda real

a lot of my friends got capped too

[main vector]

I was so pissed

my fault for listening to the upperclassmen that said “noooo follow ur passions it’s ok take the 4.0 medical classes”

[languid fulcrum]

LMFAOO

[main vector]

TEHY R LIAR

[languid fulcrum]

a lot of people dropped out of my school to go to an easier school

[main vector]

Oh they prevent that here

Like ppl moving schools to scale class ranks

U get no class rank if u move

[languid fulcrum]

😦

that’s actually insane

[main vector]

Just a fun fact for yall 90-100 is an A here we don’t use +-

And intro chem 85 is an A

[knotty hinge]

if i got 45k

id deadass be going for free

no loans or nun

unfortunately i did not

[oak cedar]

the what

[main vector]

My school has a 5.0 scale and medical classes r 4.0

[oak cedar]

wtf

[main vector]

Idfk why

[oak cedar]

wild

[main vector]

They changed it to 5.0 this yr

So rude

[dapper vigil]

no my ECs were pretty good

at least for Case Western standards imo

[dim remnant]

might have to go to case western

their med school resources and financial aid offer too hard to pass up on 👀

[dapper vigil]

I'm pissed I got waitlisted

Although it might be because I reworked my Dartmouth supp for them after getting deferred and forgot to remove the reference to “rural Hanover” 💀💀💀
But I emailed them after and sent a fixed copy

[dim remnant]

nice

how much r u guys paying for cwru?

i just checked my finnacial aid offer and its actually insane

pretty hard to pass up on ngl

[forest obsidian]

that’s weird

i got in with a lower

[past scroll]

waitlisted with 36 act 1570 sat and 4.0/4.8 too

[forest obsidian]

ain’t no way

that’s dumb

[dense remnant]

yield protect lmao

[tranquil pilot]

@main vector

[main vector]

Dw don’t take it personally lol

[main vector]

Hi

[tranquil pilot]

is cleveland cold

[main vector]

Rn? Nah

[tranquil pilot]

Oh word

[main vector]

it’s been a warmer winter apparently

I got lucky

It was in the 60s day

flowers r blooming

[knotty hinge]

I legit don't understand

[knotty hinge]

My ecs were nothing special and my gpa was a 3.6

[tranquil pilot]

oh shit

[tranquil pilot]

surpirsing

[dapper vigil]

domestic app?

[past scroll]

Yes

[main vector]

Oh u might actually get in off WL if u care about cwru

I know a few who did

[dapper vigil]

Does CWRU waitlist in RD?

[knotty hinge]

Yield protection

[knotty hinge]

Yeah

[main vector]

Yes

[knotty hinge]

You can only wait-list in rd

Lmao

[past scroll]

Depends on how my other decisions go lol

[knotty hinge]

There's no ea waitlist

[dapper vigil]

sorry I meant to say do they yield protect in RD?

bc they def so in EA

[main vector]

I’m sure they’ll go well

[knotty hinge]

I imagine they do

When only 12% of admitted students go

[dapper vigil]

They deferred me in EA when they have no reason to

[main vector]

Yes

[dapper vigil]

So theoretically I could've been yield protected

[tranquil pilot]

if u get off wl tho

[main vector]

Probably wanted to see that u were actually interested

[tranquil pilot]

u will prob be a spring admit

[main vector]

They care a LOT about demonstrated interest

[dapper vigil]

yeah

[main vector]

Idk ik a few that got in for fall

[tranquil pilot]

oh really

[main vector]

ya

just a couple

last minute too

[tranquil pilot]

fuck i dont wanna go back

[main vector]

July

[main vector]

same

[tranquil pilot]

ur already back no?

😭

[main vector]

I meant to classes

but unfortunately yes I’ve been here the whole break

[tranquil pilot]

oh

[knotty hinge]

My only interest was their mailing list lmao

[main vector]

mine was just applying PPSP and doing the deferral essay

[calm island]

Where…

Is…

It…

[devout nymph]

Are ya going to UGA?

[calm island]

For now

Free-ride

Overtook Ohio state

[devout nymph]

Oh in state?

[calm island]

Yes + 16% acceptance rate scholarship

[devout nymph]

It’s a great school. I did my postdoc there in bioinformatics

[dapper vigil]

and the truth is idc 😂

I signed up for a webinar to show DI and forgot to go

[main vector]

real

[dapper vigil]

honestly this waitlist is whatever

[main vector]

I didn’t care until I got in 😭

[dapper vigil]

Annoying tho

[dapper vigil]

lmao

[main vector]

Ya dw too much u will probably get great places

[devout nymph]

It’s not where you start, only the final degree matters

[dapper vigil]

So far it's looking like I'm going to my state school unless the Ivies clutch

but it's chill I guess

UMass Amherst is a good school

[main vector]

what r u planning on doing for ur career

[dapper vigil]

no clue

I applied everywhere Bio

[main vector]

if u want to go to any kind of grad school then undergrad doesn’t rly matter

[dapper vigil]

but idk grad school doesn't seem economical

I'm considering switching to engineering

[main vector]

Well a bio undergrad I’m ngl won’t get u anything

[main vector]

mostly need masters for that too unless ur CS

[dapper vigil]

ik I need to do grad schools

[dapper vigil]

ah ok

[devout nymph]

PhD programs are generally free and they pay you stipend

[main vector]

ya

the poor physics TAs here look so tired 😭😭 my TA last semester had like 20 hours of hw/wk for just one class and she was stuck in that lab from 3:30-9:30 3x a week

[devout nymph]

One of my interns got into PhD prog at uchicago economica and got over 35k\yr stipend plus tuition covered

[main vector]

oh wtf nice

[dapper vigil]

hmm ok

[devout nymph]

Over 20yrs ago I got into PhD prog at GT and they covered tuition plus 12k/yr stipend barely enough to cover rent and food

[dapper vigil]

What field are you in?

[devout nymph]

PhD in chemE, ms in quant finance and postdoc in bioinformatics. Now work for government in finance

So anything is possible!

My son is in the college processes. It’s so painful what everyone is going through

He got into case western today!

[main vector]

Congrats to him!

[dapper vigil]

Sounds like you tried a lot of different things out

[dapper vigil]

nice!

[devout nymph]

What I learned. PhD is free. Plus you can masters along the way for free. My friends got MBA along the way for free. And now doing very well

Key is minimal debt

I looked at the student loan data at the department of education. What a mess

[main vector]

I will be taking out 400-600k in loans total 💀

[devout nymph]

If you don’t pay, US gov will garnish your wages until you die. Plus gov will take from your tax returns

[main vector]

but PSLF 🤭

[dapper vigil]

I'm definitely gonna have to borrow with my parents current financial situation

[main vector]

I unfortunately had to take out 4 loans this semester

2 federal 1 private 1 university loan

[devout nymph]

Yikes. So don’t give up and get that MD!

[main vector]

ya if I give up it’s lowkey over for me financially

will never be able to pay that off

[dapper vigil]

My goal was to minimize it by going to my state school and getting an engineering degree which allows me to make enough to pay it off quickly

[devout nymph]

I am first gen, and when I was growing up was living in the basement with no bathroom before immigrating to US

[main vector]

I mean that’s why I’m doing a physics undergrad at least bc I can do any kind of engineering grad if I don’t get into med school

[main vector]

good idea

[devout nymph]

And take as many classes as you can. You are already paying for it. Might as well take advantage

[main vector]

yeah definitely

especially bc it’s not like state schools where they charge for credits

[dapper vigil]

workload

[devout nymph]

Get to know your professors and hopefully get a research project and publish a paper. And go to conferences to meet other professors. I think that’s how I got into grad school

[main vector]

I want to publish a paper sooo bad

I’m doing a research internship this summer and clinical research rn

but I don’t think my current research will have an opportunity to publish for me

[devout nymph]

I started at end of jr year and was lucky

So easiest way is to do something related to modeling or computer simulation

Experiments take so long

[main vector]

yeah I’m doing nutrition research rn and it has multiple cohorts so I think it’s gonna take a while

[dapper vigil]

I'm co-author on my labs papers which should be published soon

[main vector]

but I’m gonna ask my advisor if he knows any computational research I can do in physics

[devout nymph]

Physics, bio, anything

[dapper vigil]

grad school is even more competitive now as well

[devout nymph]

Yes it is competitive but I think most are Masters

[dapper vigil]

Wherever I go imma be on the grind for internship, lab positions, research opportunities, etc from day 1

[devout nymph]

That’s what I told my son to do!

But he is so lazy

[dapper vigil]

I could've worked a lot harder in HS so I need to make up for it in college

[dapper vigil]

💀

[devout nymph]

So another route is doing rotc

[main vector]

Ya I don’t want to repeat my hs college decision season so I’m taking it very seriously in college

[devout nymph]

You can have military pay for med school

[main vector]

I tried really hard in hs but I had horrible health problems so I couldn’t do as much as I wanted

[dapper vigil]

Honestly a lot of Gen Z are like that when we've had most everything done for us our whole lives.

[devout nymph]

Case is a really good school!

[main vector]

It is fortunately very convenient to have a major hospital 5 minute walk from my dorm

[dapper vigil]

it really is a wake up call

I've gottwn 5 rejections so far and there are many more to come

[devout nymph]

You got into 4!

[main vector]

Ya I got 4 acceptances and 13 rejections/WL

[dapper vigil]

All safties

[main vector]

1 reach 1 target 2 safeties

[devout nymph]

I don’t think there is such thing as safeties anymore

[dapper vigil]

Idk why I applied to 4 safties, I should've just applied to UMass Amherst and done targets for the rest

[dapper vigil]

there is

[main vector]

I think there are a lot

like tamu was a safety for me bc of where I lived

[devout nymph]

Everyone is applying to 20+ schools and schools are protecting themselves as well

[dapper vigil]

Yeah UMass Amherst is a safty for me bc I'm in state and I applied early

[devout nymph]

Tamu is a great school too! Just so big though

[main vector]

Same with Baylor for me

[main vector]

Ya and they gave me 0 aid or merit so I was offended 😭😭

[dapper vigil]

Although I had a friend with a 1550 SAT get waitlisted from UMass Amherst when he applied RD

[devout nymph]

We’ve visited Baylor this past summer. Had in and out burger there

[main vector]

Waco is so bad

But I liked Baylor campus

It was pretty

I just didn’t want to take religion classes for 2 yrs

[devout nymph]

Getting money from public school is tough

[main vector]

yeah

If tamu was free I would’ve gone

but paying 10k/year more for cwru was worth it for me

[devout nymph]

Case will give you more opportunities.

[main vector]

100%

Tamu is too big

[devout nymph]

I like private school setting

[dapper vigil]

I'm lucky that I get money off at UMass bc a relative works there

But I'll still need to take on debt

[devout nymph]

I went to ucla, my freshman chemistry class was over 500 students. I had to stand by the door during lecture

[dapper vigil]

that's horrible

[devout nymph]

The public schools don’t really care. Lots of students will drop out or change to non stem major

Not sure I can go through the college process with my girl who is a sophomore this year in high school

[main vector]

ya my physics class was <35 ppl

[devout nymph]

Next year will be worse than this year. It will be the peak number of graduating high school students

You know plumbers charge 175/hr. And don’t need college degree

[dapper vigil]

I keep trying to push my younger sibling to work hard in HS, especially after the wake up call of college decisions, but she doesn't understand

[dim remnant]

would you recommend going to case over any of the UCs for premed

[devout nymph]

This just my opinion. For pre med, the major doesn’t matter. Just need to take the required classes and the mcat. And lots of research work in labs and hospitals

So where ever you can get lots of experience

[dim remnant]

personally i think going to case is better for me because of gpa and research opportunities over the UCs

[devout nymph]

UCs are huge. Not many openings for such large number of students

[dim remnant]

im afraid that surviving premed at UCs might be rly hard because of the number of ppl and the limited opportunities

i see

ok then im going to assume case is a better choice for the longer run

[devout nymph]

So I would choose case

[dim remnant]

👌

[devout nymph]

If money is not an issue

If UC is instate

[dim remnant]

i think i pay around the same what i would pay at UC for cwru

im from california so UC pay is rly cheap but case gave me a lot of money

[devout nymph]

Yeah makes sense

[dim remnant]

great

thanks for your opinion

[devout nymph]

I think case also has a great medical school and hospital

[dim remnant]

yeah case med school is top 30

which is amazing

so ill have access to med school resources if i go there for undergrad

[devout nymph]

Yup I think that’s important

[dim remnant]

fs

[devout nymph]

But study for that mcat

It’s not TO I think

[dim remnant]

yeah ill definitely need the mcat because i didn't apply bsmd

[devout nymph]

Oh Uc Davis

My wife graduated from there

20+ yrs ago

[knotty hinge]

jesus

ppl were getting on my ass cause i said id be fine going to clemson at 20k/yr

[wide wagon]

I’m sorry brah

[oak cedar]

44k

cheaper than something like ucla

[knotty hinge]

3 grand

Out of pocket anyway

8k including loans

[devout nymph]

My son will pay like 55k. Yikes

[dim remnant]

ooo nice

[dim remnant]

o nice

👏

[devout nymph]

I think we only got the university scholarship

Son has Air Force rotc scholarship that covers tuition and fees at any school that offers rotc. Hopefully the scholarship covers room and board and then will be freee

[dapper vigil]

I guess imma leave this chat now since I got WL

there's no reason for me to try to get off it

[calm island]

Same, instead I got no decision

[foggy edge]

Did you apply for a special program?

[knotty hinge]

damn im in afjrotc they mentioned that to us

i uh

i dont qualify for it but still

[tall siren]

Is it a bad thing to get accepted to case since it practices yield protection? Does that mean you won’t get into other more selective colleges?

[devout nymph]

Haha that’s what my son said

[foggy edge]

dw i got into case and also UC Berkeley and LA and a lot of other more selective colleges

maybe yield protection is real but i like to think that if you send in a really good app that they can't pass on, they'll admit you even though you might get into better schools and it might reduce their yield rate with the slim chance that you'll attend that school (because at the end of the day schools want to improve their reputation and over qualified applicants can increase a school's reputation and average stats and everything)

[knotty hinge]

When it came to places I might go to college

Ohio was not high on my list

[cobalt ore]

i got a harv and yale likely and i was deferred ea but got in regular

college decisions so random you’ll never know

[obsidian kestrel]

chat

is having the precollege email means youre rejected

i mean i would love to open my decision

BUT THE SHITTY PORTAL WOULDNT LET ME

i am not attending i just want some closure

[cobalt ore]

wait why

[obsidian kestrel]

i lost my ID

so i have to like

re-get it

[cobalt ore]

ohhh

check your email

search ID

or case ID

something like that

[obsidian kestrel]

couldnt find anything

anw

[obsidian kestrel]

dot

bump

bomba

[cloud furnace]

precollege email?

[obsidian kestrel]

yeah

[cloud furnace]

all I've gotten since yesterday is the "there has been an update to your application status" email lol

[obsidian kestrel]

u got accepted?

[cloud furnace]

yeah

I did get a precollege program email a few weeks ago but it was meaningless and definitely went to everyone

[cloud furnace]

just click "forgot your CWRU network ID?" on the login page and it'll take like a min to recover

[obsidian kestrel]

i tried that

but then i entered my info

and the web couldnt find my id

[cloud furnace]

oh rip do you not remember activating it

[obsidian kestrel]

i did that

but like

[forest obsidian]

is case western cs better than rutgers cs?

anyone here currently in cs give me any thoughts and stuff

[knotty hinge]

No

[forest obsidian]

😭

bro i just want to go somewhere better than my state school

[knotty hinge]

It's a school that cares a lot about co ops and internships so there might be an argument for career outcomes but

As a program I believe Rutgers is considered better

[forest obsidian]

i don't want to stay in nj 😭

but ig i'll take the instate tutiton atleast

[knotty hinge]

Rutgers is around 28-45 in rankings and while obviously rankings aren't everything

One thing that's consistent is that cwru and Rutgers aren't close 😭

[forest obsidian]

in what:?

cs

is cwru just not even on par with rutgers?

[wide wagon]

No

[forest obsidian]

dude

[knotty hinge]

CWRU is still good for it but

Rutgers is a really good school for cs

[forest obsidian]

fine

i'll stay in state

[worn mason]

nope

rutgers a lot better

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[devout nymph]

I think case is better 🙂 less people to compete with

Public schools don’t care much about the students. Just a number

[knotty hinge]

Now that I've gotten into a school that's like

Genuinely very good I'm worried about getting rescinded 💀

Before it wasn't a big deal because the unis wouldn't rescind me over a c in English 102 or something but case might

[glossy tapir]

Nah dw

Schools don’t like to rescind people

[devout nymph]

Try to get the grade up to a B

[knotty hinge]

Yeah that's gonna be all I can do

Just that with my graduation being like late may

And June 1 being commit deadline if I get rescinded it'll be too late for me to go anywhere else lol

[tired breach]

why

[knotty hinge]

I just read through some reddit posts of people saying they had D's and f's and didn't get rescinded

Which I find funny

[knotty hinge]

I mean they've generally already invested into you by accepting you

Not like they'd want to kick you out

[tired breach]

so im chill if i got a B this year?

a B minus

[glossy tapir]

Yield

[knotty hinge]

Probably

[knotty hinge]

If this is anything to go by

[tired breach]

even if it was harvard?

[knotty hinge]

Well

Depends

[glossy tapir]

Different schools have different standards

[tired breach]

wtf

[knotty hinge]

If you were a straight a student all through highschool

[tired breach]

rescinding over a B minus is crazy

[knotty hinge]

And then suddenly have bs

[tired breach]

yes

[knotty hinge]

They might be concerned

[tired breach]

no like one B
