Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) (2024-2025)

[carmine star]

T20 fiend

[hearty current]

but i still applied to like 10 other top 20s

frrrr

[carmine star]

worst case scenario

I go to case

[hearty current]

no literally

[carmine star]

life could be dream

[hearty current]

and thats really good

[visual flare]

15 SHCOOLS??!

[carmine star]

doing 20 total

[hearty current]

lmfao

i have 19 total

[visual flare]

and im over here complaining because i have to do 1 more

[hearty current]

i still need to do 6 school's supplements

[carmine star]

I gotta start

six more

finish

three

and submit

[visual flare]

i could never write so much essays in a short period of time

[carmine star]

six

[real leaf]

4 more

[carmine star]

its a battle of will

[visual flare]

i only applying to 12 schools

am i selling myself short

[carmine star]

yes.

ball out bro

fill the common app.

[hearty current]

frrrr

[visual flare]

its too late LFMAO

[thick marsh]

I got John Hopkins, Rice, and Upenn left but I don't even feel like doing them

[visual flare]

we're all so burnt out by this point in time

[hearty current]

lmfaoo

thats valid

i have upenn, carnegie mellon, brown, and some others left

[visual flare]

oooh i got upenn left too

[rare phoenix]

They have a low yield because it's one of those schools ivy applicants apply to as a backup

Like an "if all else fails I might go here"

And case knows this which is why they yield protect and are so big on "demonstrated interest"

They want to know you're likely going to go there before they accept you

[modern spade]

Does case western defer a lot of people

[carmine star]

Now they want me to write a essay pls 💀

To move it to RD

Like why didn't they just have that as a supplemental in the first place I wouldn't have applied

[modern spade]

I got deferred despite my profile supposedly being competitive for ivies wtf
idek what I did wrong

[carmine star]

We got yield protected bestie

[granite dock]

Rejected 💀

[rare phoenix]

Refer to my messages above

[icy pasture]

my brother goes to case so i got that free demonstrated interest 🙏

[rare phoenix]

I'm not going to say that EVERY highly qualified applicant that gets deferred or rejected is a yield protect

Cause that's ridiculous obviously

But it's a very real possibility for any given rejection or deferral

[carmine star]

I did 0 demonstrated interest too so

[thick marsh]

get to those info sessions

[modern spade]

Is there any way that I can kind of tell this?
I knew about CWRU's "demonstrated interest" so I signed up for their info sessions, clicked on their emails, and saw them when they came to my hs
idk if I screwed up my app or what

[rare phoenix]

I mean you'll never rly know unless you get accepted and request to look at your application file

I personally got in through RD I never tried for the early rounds

So i don't fully know how they do it there

[rare phoenix]

I'm pretty sure if you try to remove yourself from their mailing list they take it as an application withdrawal

I saw that before

[modern spade]

Do they defer a lot?

[rare phoenix]

It's either they just flat out take it as a withdrawal or they ask if you're withdrawing when you do

[rare phoenix]

I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't know myself cause like I said I didn't apply for the early rounds

[hollow meteor]

does anyone know if i have to email cwru if i want to switch from ap micro to ap macro in my 2nd semester

its pretty much the same class

[carmine star]

I'm looking on r/cwru and bunch of the most qualified applicants got deferred

[rare phoenix]

Logically, with the way they do interest, it would make sense if they forced a bunch of people to write a loci and shit to see if they're really interested

[carmine star]

Yea makes sense

[modern spade]

What do we mean by most qualified? Just a 4.0 gpa or actual good ecs/honors/stuff?

[carmine star]

Good sat too

[rare phoenix]

I glossed over the reddit and it's basically just good test scores and good grades

But case doesn't have supps so that's 80% of what they care about

[carmine star]

Yea..

[rare phoenix]

Grades, tests, interest is the holy Trinity for case

[carmine star]

I mean I got a 1550

[stable robin]

guys

dont worry too much

if u got deferred

i got into princeton

and just got deferred from case

[carmine star]

lol

[stable robin]

Yield protection go crazy

[carmine star]

Wow fr

[thick marsh]

wild

[stable robin]

gonna withdraw my app not writing no supp for this stupid ass school

[rare phoenix]

Hey now

[thick marsh]

lol

[modern spade]

thats the thing idk if its yield protection or if I said something wrong in my essay 😭

[rare phoenix]

[carmine star]

Do they want a loci on top of the short answer question they ask on the website to change your application to RD

[modern spade]

or if my app is actually ass

[rare phoenix]

I mean a loci couldn't hurt but I don't think it's required

The short answer is required no?

[carmine star]

Yea

[thick marsh]

it is

[carmine star]

They shoulda just had this on the actual app I don't get it

[modern spade]

says its optional
not really optional though Im guessing

[thick marsh]

realistically you could just put nothing actually

[rare phoenix]

Yeah it's like those supplementals that are optional but you better be the second coming of Einstein if you're actually not going to do them

[hearty current]

yeah maybe its kinda hard to tell whether or not an applicant actually wants to go

in that case tbf idk how i got accepted lmfao

[carmine star]

I didn't do anything to tell them I wanted to go so ig it makes sense

[modern spade]

I did the things ppl told me to do to show demonstrated interest tho idek

[hearty current]

does this mean cwru thought i wasnt good enough to go to ivies lmfao

[granite dock]

I just signed up for their emails

No info sessions

[modern spade]

did you get in?

[granite dock]

Rejected 🔥

But as intl tho

[hearty current]

i followed their insta so maybe that was interest enough lmfao

[modern spade]

ah

[granite dock]

How would they know 😭

[hearty current]

idk

my insta is my first and last name

its a possibility!!

[granite dock]

Oh dang yeah maybe

[modern spade]

this is scaring me :/

[rare phoenix]

I genuinely

Believe this is how I got accepted

[hearty current]

welp

fml

[granite dock]

Oh 😭😭😭😭

[hearty current]

does this mean im cooked

[modern spade]

dunno if this is mean but were you genuinely not?

[rare phoenix]

Nah cause your stats r probably better than mine by a mile id imagine

[rare phoenix]

I definitely wasn't so

[hearty current]

i have a 4.0 and applied test optional

[thick marsh]

oh shi, just realized that I wan't supposed to apply to case cause I applied REA somewhere else

[rare phoenix]

Case would've been correct if that was their conclusion

[granite dock]

?? 😭

[hearty current]

omg

[carmine star]

Probs cause of test optional

[strong oracle]

Case westernnnn

[carmine star]

LMAO..

[rare phoenix]

🤫

[strong oracle]

Someone at my school was committed here before my school

[rare phoenix]

Best thing you can do

[strong oracle]

Oh

[hearty current]

yeah thats what i think

[modern spade]

can I ask what your gpa/sat was

[rare phoenix]

3.6 I was test optional

[strong oracle]

Lets not talk about breaking rea rules

[hearty current]

i have a 32 act which is fine still in the range for a lot of ivies

but yeah..

[carmine star]

Whyd you do test optional then

[hearty current]

idrk

[modern spade]

did you have a 4.0

[hearty current]

but it worked out lmao

[sharp pewter]

I almost accidentally did test optional with a 36

[hearty current]

yes

[strong oracle]

Are y’all premed

[hearty current]

4.3 weighted on a 5.0 scale

im comp sci

[carmine star]

Did u do it to other schools too

[hearty current]

some of them yes some no

[strong oracle]

Interesting

[modern spade]

highest math taken/available?

[rare phoenix]

I think a 32 is bottom 25th for case

[hearty current]

highest math is ap calc ab

[hearty current]

prob

[strong oracle]

Also guys I hope Ecs were not sent in this channel

I would hate to have to read everything

[hearty current]

i did have fire ecs

[strong oracle]

In a chanceme format

[hearty current]

so maybe that helped too

[rare phoenix]

How would this even work

Their chance was already revealed

Chance me for this result that I already have

😭

[granite dock]

Well congrats on ur acceptance 🎉

[strong oracle]

It’s not a chanceme but it’s also a privacy issue and can lead to chances

[modern spade]

what was ur top 1? if u dont mind me asking

can be vague

[hearty current]

top ec?

[modern spade]

yea

[hearty current]

basically i founded a hackathon that was the first one in our city to be led by high schoolers

[rare phoenix]

I actually founded Boston dynamics

[hearty current]

it taught kids how to code n stuff

[rare phoenix]

Totally real

[modern spade]

ah

[granite dock]

Very nice

[modern spade]

well I might be cooked then shi

[hearty current]

lmfao its all abt framing your ecs well

technically i was a co-founder and i said that but i didnt even do most the work

[granite dock]

My ecs are all very low impact 😭

[hearty current]

i just helped kids debug and decorated a room

[strong oracle]

So lets not encourage stretching the truth on our ecs

[hearty current]

??

i would yes say encourage framing your ecs to the best of your ability

i never said lie

[strong oracle]

Neither did I also I wasn’t talking to you

Just a general statement

[hearty current]

idk who else was talking abt how to frame your ecs

[strong oracle]

It’s a general statement

[rare phoenix]

I did that on my resume for McDonald's LMAO

[hearty current]

LMAO

[granite dock]

LOL

[modern spade]

thats not stretching the truth lmao

[hearty current]

exactly

[modern spade]

calm down

[strong oracle]

I’m just saying before it gets to that

I don’t like warning people

[hearty current]

well nobody was encouraging lying so dw

[modern spade]

alright let's also not encourage breaking ed agreements too while we're at it

[hearty current]

LMAO

[modern spade]

gotta chill out

[strong oracle]

Yeah ofc we crack down on that as well

[thick marsh]

rlly?

[granite dock]

Well u didnt do it knowingly right

[strong oracle]

Yeah if you see people discussing breaking an ed agreement without valid reasoning feel free to report

[modern spade]

you didn't get the point of the message did you... 💀 oh well

[hearty current]

LMAOO

its ok geo i understood u

[stable robin]

I’m curious

Is this the first year they’ve done yield protection to this scale

Or is it just a loud minority on Reddit

[hearty current]

prob not

its ea

and people are more likely to be upset and loud if theyre rejected/deferred

plus posts abt being accepted dont get that popular either

[modern spade]

where are you getting this from?

[stable robin]

Just scrolling the cwr reddit

Ppl are posting their overqualified stats

And saying they got deferred

It’s a lot of posts

[strong oracle]

I did I chose to ignore it

I don’t need to argue with children

[strong oracle]

No

[stable robin]

This kinda hurt my ego tho

Ah well fk em

[modern spade]

You're a freshman...

[strong oracle]

Dw my friend who got into gt got deferred ea

[strong oracle]

I’m an adult 🤷‍♀️

[plain forge]

Does case accept you for a specific major or nah?

[granite dock]

😭

[modern spade]

discord mod stereotypes are hitting huh 💀 but I won't continue this further

[strong oracle]

Feel free to message modmail if you have complaints ❤️

Bud

That’s breaking scea 😭???

[modern spade]

I don't take discord seriously like you 💀

[stable robin]

Oh shit

[hearty current]

im dead

[stable robin]

LMAO wait I just realized

[thick marsh]

don't worry bud, did the same thing to (on accident)

[stable robin]

Wait

[hearty current]

geo ily

[stable robin]

Holy fuck

I’m braindead

Alright well no one will know

[modern spade]

lowk I didnt do fafsa
dunno if thats a reason for deferral though

ah

[hearty current]

omg i just realized

[thick marsh]

this whole time I was confused cause how did you get into early to Princton and still submit your app

[hearty current]

on my acceptance letter they said "P.S. I am impressed by your initiative and leadership in founding [insert hackathon name]"

[austere prawn]

lets not discuss that

[hearty current]

so it prob was cause of that ec lmao

[strong oracle]

I don’t either

[stable robin]

Don’t worry I didn’t take a spot from anyone

[strong oracle]

Stop this discussion please

[hearty current]

im dead

[modern spade]

🤓

I mean say what

[stable robin]

Ruby ur being an op rn

But yeah lemme stop

Good luck RD you guys got this

[hearty current]

lmfaoo

[strong oracle]

Bud this is not something you should be talking about

[hearty current]

thanks homie

[strong oracle]

It’s serious

People have gotten rescinded

[hearty current]

i dont think its that serious to just talk abt it

[stable robin]

Ruby

Do you know my name

[modern spade]

case is wild if they think Im gonna ed 2 if they yield protected me

[strong oracle]

Then maybe don’t talk about it in a public server

[stable robin]

Like my irl name

[hearty current]

right

[strong oracle]

If you have an issue with our policies feel free to either dm modmail or leave the server

[hearty current]

what are they gonna hunt his ip address down

[stable robin]

Don’t worry I respect your policies but you kept the discussion going

I will end it

[hearty current]

blud made it worse??

[strong oracle]

I just asked you to stop 💀

[modern spade]

I know you like to believe that the applying to college discord server is important/holds weight but your messages on an anonymous discord account on a public forum cannot be traced back to you so simply lmao

[hearty current]

LMAOOO

[strong oracle]

All I will say is you’d be surprised

[hearty current]

smthn abt the "applying to college discord server" has me dead

[round lance]

gang please do not break the scea contract!!!

there is a probability you will get rescinded!!!

[hearty current]

im sure anybody breaking contracts will be taken care of

[round lance]

colleges talk to each other about these things!!!!!!!

[hearty current]

but i dont think itll be based off of a discord conversation

[modern spade]

no one was encouraging and/or saying they did it on purpose

[granite dock]

It was just them being like oh shoot

[modern spade]

This is like ai moderating chat bruh

chatgpt could do a better job

[round lance]

and i wasnt saying that anyone did

[hearty current]

right

if someone fucked up shouldnt we be allowed to give advice or help them

[round lance]

this is just a general warning given the amount of messages we have been seeing recently

[round lance]

and the advice is to not do it 💀

[hearty current]

well if they alr did it

[modern spade]

cool, maybe should post it in announcements instead of you know... every single chat

I'm a genius I know (which is why I got deferred)

[hearty current]

id be nervous too

[round lance]

we shouldnt have to post something that you should already expect to know given that you sign off of agreements regarding this

your parents also need to sign off as well as your counselor if you apply ed

but regardless whats done is done

[modern spade]

we shouldnt have to post something
There we go!

[hearty current]

LMAO

they applied rea

tbf

idk how different the contract is

[round lance]

there also shouldnt be instructions on shampoo bottles but unforutnately there are because some people are still clueless

[granite dock]

We’re not even the ones who broke the contract 😭 we dont have to talk abotj this

[modern spade]

ok I'll actually stop now cause this is a waste of time
but this is what happens when you give a bunch of hs seniors/college freshmen discord mod I guess 💀

[hearty current]

true but its annoying when someones like "oh shit" abt an honest mistake and suddenly mods are getting on everyones asses

[modern spade]

cmon we're applying to college all civilized and stuff
gotta be better than the stereotypes

!!!

[round lance]

brother did not read the above conversation

[hearty current]

bro i got told "lets not encourage stretching the truth" when all i did was say to frame your ecs well 😭

[round lance]

the man was told to stop talking about it but just ignored everything

[granite dock]

Lets stop 😭

[strong oracle]

Did you get warned? Was action taken?

[hearty current]

no but its still anoying lmao

there was no extensive conversation about either topics

i mean the conversation abt the rules was more extensive

[strong oracle]

It was a general statement

[hearty current]

bro stop saying that im dead

[strong oracle]

If that’s annoying to you I’m very sorry

It sounds like a you problem at that point

[hearty current]

i mean it insinuated i lied abt my ecs

so yes im gonna be annoyed by that

its not a "general statement" when im the only person who talked about their ecs

[noble hound]

OMG I GOT IN

[hearty current]

YAYYY

[modern spade]

nice

[granite dock]

Congratss!!

[strong oracle]

Girl 😭

[strong oracle]

I’m sorry you took it that way

Again if you have an issue feel free to dm modmail, we are very responsive

[hearty current]

idk how else it could be taken

[carmine star]

Let her celebrate tf 💀

[hearty current]

idk just dont micromanage unless its needed

[carmine star]

Did we forget what channel this is in

[strong oracle]

She’s a freshman in college…

[carmine star]

Oh 💀

[hearty current]

LMAO

[strong oracle]

Feel free to send your suggestions to modmail!

[hearty current]

did transfer decisions come out??

[strong oracle]

It wasn’t intended that way is all I can say

[hearty current]

girl u can read i dont need to make some whole report

[strong oracle]

She goes to Harvard

[hearty current]

este girl

makes sense then

[granite dock]

Oh then waht

Was it a diversion

[strong oracle]

Transfer decisions don’t come out until much later anyways

[granite dock]

😭

[hearty current]

prob lmfaoo

[strong oracle]

She likes to do that sometimes

[granite dock]

I appreciate the silliness

[hearty current]

real shit

[noble hound]

i only do it with schools i got into

im not no liar

[carmine star]

I got in! Unlilely that I'll go but fee is so high

78k for me

they gave me 20k schholarship. Are there grants/scholarships I can apply to?

[hearty current]

they shouldve applied grants already

did you do the css profile?

[dry lantern]

for university scholarship what's the most they hand out? around 45k?

[sand flint]

same here

have to pay 70k when my budget was max 55k 💀

[fallen willow]

deferred with 36 act and 4.9 gpa chat am i cooked

[real leaf]

Yeah wtf

I feel like this is yield protection

When they were at my school they were talking about how a lot of ppl they accept go to better colleges around them

(Like uchicago and northwestern for me)

They’re probably waiting to see if overqualified applicants commit somewhere else

Dumbass team thinks they can boost their rankings after they fell so much by pulling ts 😭

I’m an RD applicant due to bsmd but it sucks that they did this

[noble hound]

chat

i will be real

i got deferred tooo last year

[hearty current]

im cooked bruh

[noble hound]

its yield protection 💀

[noble hound]

yeah

bro gets it

case western is a mickey mouse school

[noble hound]

HEY THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN

[hearty current]

im so not getting into a better school

[noble hound]

one of my friends who got into like 3 ivies last year got into case western

[hearty current]

ea tho?

[noble hound]

then my friend who got into northwestern so like

yes

ea

so

i think they just

[hearty current]

hmmm

[noble hound]

pull a certain amount of ppl out of a bag

i promise u

getting into case western is NOT a bad sign but getting deferred isn't either

[hearty current]

i see

im just a little upset cause im basically seeing people everywhere saying "dw they just only accept people ea that wont get into better schools"

[noble hound]

yea ignore them

thats their own copium

[hearty current]

i hope lmao

[noble hound]

they dont ask for supps like tf does case western know

[hearty current]

true

its prob another case of just getting lucky

[sand flint]

Hoping they r wrong, wont go to cwru but acceptance gave a lil hope for other unis

[hearty current]

fr same

its my first acceptance into an actually selective school

[sand flint]

same
My other acceptances are safeties

[hearty current]

i got into suny at buffalo but its not super selective just not a 80+%

[sand flint]

Got into psu and uab w scholarship

I just wish cwru had given more scholarship, if the cost was below 60k it’d be one of my top choices

[hearty current]

fair enough

what did ur financial aid look like?

[sand flint]

24k

[hearty current]

cause for me its around 12k a year

[sand flint]

No uni is worth 70k imo, especially since i plan on going to grad school and dont wanna waste all my money on undergrad

[hearty current]

yeah me too

thats part of why i really want to go to a t20

most of the time they'll cover 99% of your tuition if youre low income

[sand flint]

Damn i thought 20k was the minimum cuz cwru’s full price is way too high

[hearty current]

well i meant like net cost is 12k

[sand flint]

Wait what

[hearty current]

lemme pull up the package again

[sand flint]

I thought u got 12k in scholarship

[hearty current]

nah

[sand flint]

Woah thats actually rlly good

[hearty current]

i know im actually p happy with it

[carmine star]

Do they automatically consider you for all these scholarships?

[green ocean]

yes

[strong oracle]

It’s finaid yes

[green ocean]

did any INTERNATIONAL get in with high aid???

[carmine star]

Oh? I didn't apply for financial aid. I thought these were merit based

I got university scholarship 20k

[strong oracle]

Oh I forgot case gives merit too

Mb

[carmine star]

My family net income is 60k a year (about 45k after taxes). I kinda fumbled and forgot to apply for financial aid, is there any way for me to apply for financial aid after I got accepted into CWRU?

[hearty current]

i have no clue tbh

i did css profile p fast

[carmine star]

Damn css deadlines were in November

I kinda forgot

I only did css for Cornell, but got rejected.

[hearty current]

lmao real shit

i just made sure to do it for every school i was applying to

[sand flint]

try emailing the fin aid office they'd probably be able to answer that (deadline is long over though)

[vapid turret]

same here (not the stats but also deferred), anyone got tips on what should I do when reapplying? cuz theres 3 tabs where i can write additional academic, addiotional extracurricular, and a why us short answer. I'm not sure if i should just list out the things I did that were not on my previous resume or do something else.

[hearty current]

definitely focus on the why us portion

it seems they defer a lot of promising admits due to yield and believing they will go somewhere else

if you can convince them that you really do wanna go there thats the main thing

[vapid turret]

ok thanks!

[vapid turret]

another question, they asked "Please list any additional academic accomplishments or awards to be included with your application." should I write like a summary of what I did or should I just list the things i did, they just have a blank white box with " Academic Information " titled

[zenith flume]

accepted with a 1560 and no demonstrated interest and 38k scholarship, was i not good enough to get yield protected? everybody in my school got in with around 25k scholarship

[rare phoenix]

48

[rare phoenix]

It's not about rankings, they've been doing this before they dropped too, it's just their attempt at combatting their 16% yield rate

If you want to see a school that cares about rankings like that you gotta look at northeastern

[rare phoenix]

I'm pretty sure either would be fine

[rare phoenix]

Not every acceptance means you weren't good enough to be yield protected nor does every deferral or rejection with good stats mean you were yield protected admissions aren't linear like that

Plenty of people get accepted to case and t20s

Plenty of people get into case but not t20s

Plenty of people don't get into case but get into t20s

[zenith flume]

fair enough

just got a little panicked cuz everyone was saying they got yield protected haha

[rare phoenix]

At the end of the day their median stats are still 1420-1520 and like a 3.8 average which is on the level of a competitive applicant anywhere

[vapid turret]

ok thx

[hollow meteor]

does anyone know if i have to email cwru if im changing courses in my 2nd semester

nvmd

[hearty current]

lmao

[hearty current]

same

i think we need to just be happy cwru is still a great and selective school

[dry lantern]

coolio thanks

[indigo phoenix]

everyone at my school got deferred

that i know of atleast

[hearty current]

nah

its just luck like every other selective school

[indigo phoenix]

i had a 1500 sat with a lot of dem int and got deferred

Well case western thought we were gonna get into better schools than them so I guess we will just have to do that

[carmine star]

Mine too tho

[indigo phoenix]

i dont know if i got yield protected though

[carmine star]

Just shotgun and apply to like 30 schools you'll get in at least one

[indigo phoenix]

Rework them a lil to answer the prompt better

[indigo phoenix]

thats the problem

[carmine star]

Oh dang

[rare phoenix]

I applied to 30 schools but most of them were no essay schools

[indigo phoenix]

i wrote a diveristy essay for one of my safety honors college

[rare phoenix]

I never felt like writing essays so I just didnt

[indigo phoenix]

i think i wrote a half community half why us for u of rochester

[rare phoenix]

Urochester would've been my top choice

If I wasn't too lazy to write the essays

[indigo phoenix]

urochester and cwru are my top 2

[rare phoenix]

[indigo phoenix]

i submitted urochester already

on dec 1

before dec 1

for priority scholarship deadline

[rare phoenix]

I submitted case as a throwaway like an hour before the deadline

Just cus I wanted to fill out my commonapp

I didn't actually expect to get in 😭

Urochester would've been #1 if I felt like writing essays but out of the schools I actually applied to it was like northeastern > case > Clemson > RIT

[carmine star]

You can always do ED2 to case then

[indigo phoenix]

parents wont letm e ed anywhere

my ed's wouldve been case or uofr

[hearty current]

ok bro this is kinda starting to annoy me 😭

im sure youre a great applicant but esp w no essays its up to luck

a lot of rlly qualified ppl get both accepted and deferred thats just how it is at any selective uni

[sick pike]

case western cares a bunch abt demonstrated interest

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/svt9ah/dont_unsubscribe_from_college_emails/

[hearty current]

yeah i cant rlly say for how thats determined but ofc theyre gonna want to see if youre a good fit before they accept you

its not just

[sick pike]

opening emails, clicking links, visiting, going to webinars, etc

[hearty current]

“nah theyre too good for us moving on”

ah i see

but yeah

[sick pike]

and not doing this

[hearty current]

that makes a lot more sense than the age old yield protection copium

[sick pike]

yeah the a2c version of yield protection doesnt exist but yield protection over interest does

[hearty current]

yeah

its not abt if youre gonna get into better unis but if you are actually interested in like for this cwru

im just getting ticked off cause way too many cwru admits are getting anxious including me because of people who cant cope with the fact they got a deferral lmao

like ive already seen posts abt this its crazy

just cause cwru isnt a top 20 doesnt mean its an easy admit for a qualified candidate

so if u care then make it known to them you really do wanna go and wish for the best

[hearty current]

omg urochester is one of my top unis too

[indigo phoenix]

where u from

i saw u applied to ub too

10 minues away from UB 💀

[hearty current]

im from jeffersonville in but my bf lives in buffalo

so basically louisville lmao

but yeah im tryna close the gap and a lot of great unis are north east too

[modern spade]

naw apparently deferals got it too

[indigo phoenix]

what HS?

is he from the cities

the city

or the suburbs

im from the subrusb

[modern spade]

I signed up for the email list and clicked on the emails every once in a while

[hearty current]

hes a freshman in college rn

[modern spade]

filled in a form they sent about interests or smth too

[hearty current]

not at ub but

[modern spade]

idk if thats enough

[indigo phoenix]

my parents and i have been opening emails and clicking links for a year

[noble hound]

real i had none, but then i glazed incredibly hard in the loci

like yall write that continued interest form

and glaze like crazy

[hearty current]

no fr

[indigo phoenix]

im working o nit

i dont really know waht to say tho

[modern spade]

shits clearly useless if you get deferred from case with it

[noble hound]

cwru loves getting glazed

[indigo phoenix]

im just pulling out the most random shit tho

[modern spade]

did you get deferred ea?

[noble hound]

deferred means they woulda accepted u if they were more confident in your attendance

yes

[indigo phoenix]

like i wrote i have an upward gpa trend

[hearty current]

she did

[indigo phoenix]

in my academic

i wrotethat im taking more ps this year

[hearty current]

yesss

[modern spade]

wouldn't that only be deferalls with the scholarship offer if you ed

[noble hound]

i wrote evn more than that, like every little thing i found cool i mentioned

[indigo phoenix]

i know like 10 current students

[noble hound]

i basically wrote supplementals

[indigo phoenix]

can i write that lmfao

[noble hound]

for the continued interest letters

deadass wrote supps

[hearty current]

it might be diff for if theyre worried abt interest or academics

[noble hound]

idk what u mean but i still got like one of their highest merit scholarships after getting EA'd

[indigo phoenix]

do you have the why case that yo uwrote

[noble hound]

so they were like ok she's cracked and actually likes the school, ADMIT ‼️

[noble hound]

unfortunately no because i wrote it directly into the form i believe

but i can try to find it, im not 100% sure

[indigo phoenix]

did bro write it direclty and submit it

in like an hour

[noble hound]

i feel like i just wrote directly in it

[modern spade]

did you get the "if you ed 2 we'll guarantee u accepatnace and x amount of money"?

[noble hound]

no actually

i got that for uchicago

similar to it

[modern spade]

ah

[indigo phoenix]

i got the other one

[noble hound]

and im the only person ik who did

[indigo phoenix]

ohr eally

did yo utake that

or committ to cwru

[sick pike]

IIRC they can also track how long you stay on said links

[modern spade]

In what world would you commit to cwru if you get an offer from uchicago with scholarship

[sick pike]

So if you open and shut immediately they’ll know

[modern spade]

unless cwru is like full ride (it probably isn't)

[modern spade]

I actually filled out the form so idk

[hearty current]

nah

[modern spade]

I mean the other times yeah i just browsed for like 30 seconds

[noble hound]

neither

i deferred both to RD

[indigo phoenix]

wehre did bro end up

[noble hound]

got into cwru and got waitlisted to uchicago

[modern spade]

you deferred them?

say wha

[noble hound]

yeah

[indigo phoenix]

wait why didnt you ed2

uchicago

[modern spade]

wait but you said you got deferred

[indigo phoenix]

were the financials dubious

[modern spade]

howd you defer a deferal

[noble hound]

it wasn't my top choice

[indigo phoenix]

ah

[noble hound]

i was holding onto faith i'd get into like

[indigo phoenix]

what was ur top cjoice

[noble hound]

one of 3-4 schools

[hearty current]

isnt bro at harvard

[noble hound]

at the time princeton

[noble hound]

[hearty current]

yuh

my friend got in

so excited for her

[noble hound]

thats awesome :)

[modern spade]

wait so you're telling me I mightve gotten yield protected even if I didnt get the scholarship ed offer?

[noble hound]

if she has any questions send em my way

i love shittalking

[hearty current]

LMAO

[noble hound]

theres rly no way to tell if its yield protection or not nowadays

i was a toxic lil tryhard last year and was lke THIS HAS TO BE YIELD PROTECTION MY PERSONAL STATEMENT WAS SOOOO GOOD

[hearty current]

LMAOO

[modern spade]

bro I lowk do not give a shit about case western I just wanna know if my app is fucked for rd 😭

[hearty current]

yeah that stuff is annoying

[noble hound]

but for me i guess i was- quite literally objectively yield protected based off the scholarship they gave me RD

[hearty current]

yield protection is real but in the case that they need to know if youre a right fit for their uni

[noble hound]

I got deferred from northeastern, case western, and uchicago

so i thought i was like big cooked

so idk

[modern spade]

acceptances?

if you dont mind

[noble hound]

hm

a comfortable amount of schools 🔥

if u rly wanna know its in celebration somewhere

[indigo phoenix]

ea'd t northeastern

not expecting much

same deal with tulane

also not expecting much

[indigo phoenix]

what the fuck bro is cracked

did you end up at harvard

[noble hound]

WHY R U CALNG ME OUT

yea i chose it

[indigo phoenix]

u of r too

i applid there

[sick pike]

ngl even basic google analytics gives you a fuckton of info

[indigo phoenix]

its my other top chocie

aside from cwru

[sick pike]

im sure colleges get even more than this

[indigo phoenix]

i swear to god if i get waitlsited from rochester

[noble hound]

i love rochester

[modern spade]

they do
but wtf kinda control freak actually uses it

[noble hound]

live laugh love rochester

[indigo phoenix]

i toured th campus is so good

and im only an hour away

[sick pike]

colleges tracking interest...

[modern spade]

lowk after this Im not attending case even if I get in fuck them weirdos
but just worried for rd

[indigo phoenix]

so if i open ane mail

and leave it open

[modern spade]

clearly they don't want me anyways 💀

[indigo phoenix]

for 3 days

[sick pike]

it also helps you know where your users are going and if your pages are actually engaging

[indigo phoenix]

am i in

[modern spade]

but yeah

[indigo phoenix]

?

[sick pike]

no bc i can see if youre scrolling and clickin on the page

[indigo phoenix]

got a macro clicking the click 730 times

[sick pike]

and where youre clicking

[indigo phoenix]

u can make a macro to do that

[sick pike]

and how often

[indigo phoenix]

i guess they can probably tell tho

[noble hound]

i would never assume RD based on EA

that shit is so random

[modern spade]

ill just make a program

that runs on my server
and opens any link

clicks on it and stuff

for an hour

[indigo phoenix]

lol

[carmine star]

Well I mean they prob thought like "they're prob gonna get into other unis and they're showing no interest in choosing case to go to"

[carmine star]

Oh yea I didn't get it then

[indigo phoenix]

how exactly do i glaze

the hell

out of cwru

[sick pike]

i mean itd be kinda obvious

youd be an outlier in the dataset

[modern spade]

cause I love case western so much

wdym

[sick pike]

also if your clicks dont line up with other people thatd also be obvious

[modern spade]

they can't see wher emy clicks are btw

[sharp pewter]

I don’t know if demonstrated interest is all that important because I only went on one tour and that’s it

[sick pike]

are ya sure

[sharp pewter]

Might help that I live in Cleveland though

[modern spade]

yes

I can double chekc rn

[sick pike]

idt you have access to their software

[indigo phoenix]

case western my beloved

[modern spade]

I can see network calls

[indigo phoenix]

did u get in?

[modern spade]

unless they cleverly hid it
which I'm like 99% sure they don't know how to do 💀

[modern spade]

can I ask stats

man this case western deferal got me acting up

[indigo phoenix]

fr brop

[modern spade]

idk why im so active in the applying to college discord server

[indigo phoenix]

i crashed out when i got deferred

[modern spade]

I feel like a loser

😭

[indigo phoenix]

i skipped school today bc i had 2 stests and i didnt study for them bc of crash out

and i wasnt tryna tank my gpa

[sharp pewter]

Yea

[indigo phoenix]

this is my first time skipping tests

[hearty current]

its mainly the latter though

[sharp pewter]

36 act 3.98 uw gpa

[modern spade]

did you have good honors/ecs

[hearty current]

preferring other unis is not the same as will get into better ones

[indigo phoenix]

i think the fact that youre from a cleveland school helped

[modern spade]

good as in like ivy level

[indigo phoenix]

your school is probably a cwru feeder

[modern spade]

/similar yk

[sharp pewter]

EC’s are Sherwin Williams internship, historical research for a historical society, varsity soccer and wrestling, captain of math Olympiad and academic team

[hearty current]

yeah im lowk confused too cause i showed no interest

[sharp pewter]

And national merit commended

[hearty current]

idk if i even checked emails

[modern spade]

is sherin williams good

idk

[hearty current]

no tours or webinars nothing

[sharp pewter]

I also hit an admissions officers car

[hearty current]

LMAO

[sharp pewter]

While going to my tour

[strong oracle]

Sometimes it’s not about actually showing interest

Sometimes they’ll assume you’ll come

Like my best friends got into neu after being deferred ea with very different stats than me and I got wl

My friends did not show interest and neither did I

[indigo phoenix]

bro did i get deferred casue im low income

on my css, lat year my income was 10k and this year on the css its 34k

10k year was because we just moved to the US

34k is because my parents are underemployed\

[carmine star]

I was deferred

Presumably yield protection I’m thinking

test optional but six fig business, private equity scout, others things

And no demonstrated interest

[hearty current]

nah

cause my fams 25k a year

and i make 10k of it

[rare phoenix]

I mean

[hearty current]

🤷‍♀️

[rare phoenix]

It's possible because they are need aware

But you can never actually know

I imagine there's also a fin aid limit they can give to early rounders as well

[hearty current]

maybe its luck after the ppl who def showed interested

yeah probably

maybe they already gave the spots they could to low income

[carmine star]

Are u near Ohio btw cause I think that's another thing

[hearty current]

kentuckiana

so yeah

[rare phoenix]

I'm low income from south Carolina lmao

[carmine star]

Oh then yea I'm far af

[rare phoenix]

I showed some interest but nothing crazy

Mailing list and some webinars

[carmine star]

They knew I wasn't going all the way to ohio

😭

[hearty current]

lmaoo

[indigo phoenix]

bro im low incom with dem int

3 hrs away

too many lowi ncomes applying ig

[indigo phoenix]

did you submit fafsa

[rare phoenix]

There could be any number of reasons

• stats
• interest
• low income / financial aid limit in early rounds
• they didn't like your essay
• combination of any of the above
• literally none of the above

[indigo phoenix]

before rceivng ur decision

[indigo phoenix]

wouldnt they reject u tho

why defer

[rare phoenix]

Speculation speculation but you'll never really know and coming to a set conclusion won't help

[rare phoenix]

If it was a stats issue probably but for fin aid no

They'd see how much they can give in the last round (rd) and come to a conclusion on if it's worth it

[rare phoenix]

Same w not liking the essay

Like if your application was bad yeah no they'd just reject you outright most likely

But if it's some more nuanced thing then the defer makes sense

[hearty current]

nah im still working on it

wait on that note tho did u apply to qb

[indigo phoenix]

i did

and i did not

get in

i didnt even make fianlsit dawg

[hearty current]

i feel like i saw someone similar in a qb server

yeah same lmfaoo

[indigo phoenix]

i was in the qb server yeah

fgli

[hearty current]

mhm

[indigo phoenix]

i still am

[hearty current]

i didnt get finalist either smh

[indigo phoenix]

i was the guy who spamming the gif

every day

until it came out

[hearty current]

YEAHH

i remember that

[indigo phoenix]

cwru was top 3

on my qb list

[hearty current]

i was super active on the reddit until i didnt get finalist

i think it was top 5 for me??

i dont really remember

[neat lintel]

Hi guys! I got accepted to cwru but there was no information about scholarships.

[sand flint]

If u got any scholarship it would have been listed in your acceptance letter

[rare phoenix]

Which is really weird

They give scholarships to literaly everyone idk how you could just not get one

Unless you didn't apply for fin aid

[indigo phoenix]

theyre international

they probabyl didnt apply for aid

[real leaf]

applying for aid is not related to merit scholarships right

[still galleon]

i didn’t apply for aid and got a merit scholarship so i’d assume not

[neat lintel]

I did not apply for financial aid

[indigo phoenix]

submittedmy deferral form

i need bob or robert or wahtever his name is

to accept me

[silver portal]

good luck!!

hope u get in

[silver portal]

did it give u info abt why u got deferred?

[indigo phoenix]

no lol

was it supposed to

[silver portal]

no clue

for other schools ive heard they sometimes give u a reason

[silver portal]

hopefully it works out

[indigo phoenix]

i hope

[silver portal]

praying for u

[sonic shuttle]

Hello ppl! I applied early action to cwru since my best friend ed'd there and I was like "well if it's good enough for my best friend to ed, and it doesn't require any supplementals, then I guess I should apply." Anyways I got accepted w/a 31.5k/yr scholarship, but I got only 1k/yr in financial aid. I'm just kinda in a pickle since I have no idea where I'm supposed to get the other 60k/yr from. 😰 Google says the avg cost of attendance yearly is something like 38k after aid, but I'm still so far off from that mark. I really would like to consider case as an option for me, but as it stands I really have no idea how I could possibly afford to attend it with so little financial aid. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

Also I have no idea why my financial aid offer is so low because my family does not have money like that, especially when they have to spend so much on my diabetes & 3 older siblings. They couldn't possibly aid me that much with tuition 😔

[sand flint]

Did u run the net price calculator? I have a similar situation except i only got 24k scholarship 💀. I redid the net price calculator and turns out if your family has a decent amount of savings cwru considers it as “u can pay” they hardly take into acc that savings r meant to stay savings

Also did u mention medical costs in your css profile? If its covered by insurance idt they’ll consider it

[sonic shuttle]

i dont believe i did which is why im holding out hope that i can maybe get some aid from that if i decide to pursue case western in the coming months.

ty for responding btw! I was tweaking out a bit earlier, but I'm more calmed down now.

[sand flint]

np, i get it i totally freaked out when i realized the aid wasnt enough to actually attend the uni (one of my top choices). I’m also planning on calling up the fin aid office to enquire further. Gl if u decide to pursue it

[austere prawn]

boooo case (they didnt accept me)

[carmine star]

It’s really no good anyways

[still galleon]

are any current cwru students here majoring in cogsci? if so how linguistics-centric has your experience been

[indigo phoenix]

I got deferred

[hearty current]

:(

[hearty current]

do u have a pic of ur financial aid rundown?

my cost after aid is only 12k so i can help see what youre missing

[carmine star]

Lowk email the school finaid office

if your at all interested

it doesn't hurt to try and get more money

[sonic shuttle]

And yes, I've already filled out Fafsa. I didn't qualify for any need based aid :(

[hearty current]

ohh yeah thatd be why

[naive maple]

mine looks the exact same, i think this is the placeholder information they put

does your portal say that they received the FAFSA? cuz mine still doesn't

[hearty current]

i havent done fafsa and it still has the federal grants n stiff

but huh

yeah maybe itll update

[rare phoenix]

They still have to include things like loans and work study and etc etc and if they haven't received your FAFSA (per the portal) they'll update that too as they get everything

[hearty current]

well again, idk abt fafsa since i havent even done fafsa yet outside of maybe work study or smthn like that

idk how consistent they are w everyones tho

[naive maple]

first, you should probably do fafsa soon, lol, also it's probably based on the CSS profile but then the FAFSA will confirm it since it's more in depth

[hearty current]

im going to lmao im just lazy

and i already have a ton of essays due in the next couple days

its on my list for the next week

[naive maple]

it's super easy at least for me my dad started it then i just had to put how much is in my bank account and what colleges to send it to

[hearty current]

yeah ik it cant rlly be much harder than css

but also my school made us make our fafsa accounts a while ago and i do not remember my login

[naive maple]

good luck with everything 🫡 i have more essays to write too but it's vacation i'll do it on the drive back LOL

[hearty current]

LMAO

one of mine is due in uh

like a few hours lmao

[naive maple]

[hearty current]

scratch that under 2 hours

im so cooked

[magic plume]

How long does it take for you to recive your portal info its been more thana week

[icy pasture]

how do you see this?

i filled out my fafsa like a month before the decision came out

[rare phoenix]

Should be in the same area as your letter

Click on the letter scroll down and you'll see something called financial aid notification

[icy pasture]

yeah i dont see that

my fafsa also doesnt seem to be through on case's side

is that a problem?

when should i get it?

[rare phoenix]

If you properly listed case as a school to send your FAFSA to then they'll update it when they get your fafsa

[silver portal]

still cheaper than me 😭

mine was 98k

and then 20k scholarship 78k

too expensive 😢

[hearty current]

goddamnn

[indigo phoenix]

looks like i was deferal victim 😭

[silver portal]

u got this im praying for u

[real leaf]

[noble hound]

that name activated my fight or flight 💀

cwru aids kinda ass

thats why they be handing out all these scholarships to pretend like they got good aid 💀

[indigo phoenix]

im -1500 sai

[indigo phoenix]

bro someone who got into cornell ED was deferred from cwru ea too 😭

at my school

[real leaf]

they think doing ts is gonna raise their rankings

[hushed spindle]

How many people are deferred? Does it mean anything?

[rare phoenix]

Nah that's northeastern

Case just wants to escape being the perpetual ivy backup

Want people to actually want to go there so their yield isn't nearly sub 10%

[carmine star]

Lowk it’s not a horrible thing

But when the Case lady came to my school I was the only person to attend the meeting

And like 30 went to brown

[silver portal]

do u think if i ask them for more financial aid/merit would it work out

[rare phoenix]

No

There is an appeal form but

Typically case gives you the best they can offer initially

It's notoriously hard for appeals to go through

[naive maple]

guys they give you so much swag in your acceptance package

[still galleon]

did you get in ED or EA? and do you live in the midwest or somewhere else

i live in the south and got in EA and haven’t gotten a package yet

but i really really want free stuff

[naive maple]

EA, and i live 40min from Cleveland lol

you will prob get in a few days

[willow mountain]

What do they give you?

[naive maple]

a drawstring bag, a notebook, socks (!!), carabiner, sticker, and i think a magnet (my mom took a photo for me cuz i'm away from home rn so can't really tell lol)

[willow mountain]

That's super nice lol

Fingers crossed for case Western RD

[sand flint]

Any idea if intls also get a package?

[late sand]

For their tuition they better do intl shipping

[indigo phoenix]

watch them just not send it out to intls

[late sand]

That's why their yield sucks

Idk why I'm salty

I just really want stickers

[sand flint]

Same lol

[sand flint]

Fr lol for 70k+ per year i’m expecting fireworks level bribery (i aint committing)

[silver portal]

i didnt get anything yet

😦

[rare phoenix]

What

Bruh they didn't give us socks

[carmine star]

I haven’t gotten anything at all what

I got in weeks ago 😭

[random path]

anyone know if cwru tracks demonstrated interest for transfer applicants or is it only for first years 😭

also thoughts on their environmental studies major

[willow mountain]

wait they check demonstrated interest?

Aight I'm screwed lol

I applied last minute and I wouldn't be able to name a single fact about them x_x

[silver portal]

oh same that happened to me

but i still got in

[willow mountain]

Fingers crossed in that case then

[sand flint]

I did the same thing n got in

[hearty current]

same lmao

[late sand]

Yeah same

[green ocean]

how many of yall applied rd

[willow mountain]

Me

[indigo phoenix]

ea'd, got deferred so i guess im rd now

[raw dawn]

How long did we have to write for optional question for deferral form?

[indigo phoenix]

idk i did like 500 words but i think thats a bit long

[raw dawn]

ohh ok i have aroudn 350 words not sure if it's good

[fallen willow]

mine is around 350 as well

For anyone who got deferred, what are you putting for Additional Academic Information? Is it bad to leave it blank?

[raw dawn]

im not sure yet either but i m planning to say i have maintained all As for my senior year courses

[fallen willow]

I was also thinking to put that but then I figured they were just going to get that from my transcript

Idk

[raw dawn]

true they getting mid year report so

hmm

[carmine star]

Looks like imma end up at case cause I got no other acceptances

[late sand]

same :(

[sand flint]

Dont lose hope you’ll def get a few others! Also case is still a rlly good uni (if its affordable)

[carmine star]

They want me to pay 76000 dollars

[carmine star]

Are you from India?

[sand flint]

same but 70k (i cant afford it so bye bye case)

[late sand]

Yep

[strong oracle]

You have plenty of time

Rd isn’t for a while

[indigo phoenix]

Bro i wanna go to case

I got d eferred EA

My top target school
