Hey, i saw this note at the end of my CWRU acceptance letter and wanted to ask if every1 got it...or if im special 🥺

Sincerely,
Robert R. McCullough
Dean of Undergraduate Admission

P.S. Your commitment to research is truly inspiring! Take a look at the resources at CWRU's Undergraduate Research Office!

sand flint

I got a different but similar one

ocean relic
#

oh 😭 HAHA

#

do you mind sharing yours? thats a nice unique touch by case

sand flint
#

Ngl i’ve forgotten mine cuz it was months ago but iirc they said they were impressed with my experiential learning

#

Or smth along those lines

ocean relic
#

oh wow thank you!

silver portal
#

mine said check out the sears building or something and be innovative

#

2025, nobody talk in this chat for a year so we can do 2026

carmine star
#

I thought I was special 😭

modern galleon
#

I got mine for coal research. At least it's reassuring to know they do read through your application!

#

bro guys am i cooked if my sai is 49k

#

the net price is still like $61k so they should give me something still right??

sand flint
errant moon
#

CWRU is not need blind... so maybe if your sai is too low... you're cooked.... like me.

rare phoenix
#

I got in with a -1500

rare phoenix
#

It will affect your chances of getting in sure but you aren't "cooked"

rare phoenix
#

I paid 800 semester 1 and 900 semester 2 to go here

rare phoenix

#

If it's the same range as last year

#

Rd results in about

#

28ish days

#

WHAT REALLY

royal junco
#

Everybody still receiving CWRU emails, right?

sand flint
#

Close to pushing em to spam 💀

thick marsh
#

wait dont do that, this school actually cares about demonstrated intrested

#

cwru is too expensive

thick marsh
#

nice choices to have (both schools deferred me sadly)

#

oh ya thats a lot

#

i was in a similar boat w/cwru expecting me to pay 60k/yr, but i was able to call them and correct an issue on my css profile which ended up dropping the cost significantly

sand flint
#

I didnt follow up cuz i ran the npc n with my parents savings it shows that i should be paying 85-90k 💀

twilit turret
#

hi

indigo phoenix
#

hi

vivid oxide
#

Anyone know anything more about this?

vivid oxide
#

Nah the 100% of demonstrated need

#

Idk why it highlighted we provide lol

sand flint
vivid oxide
#

How low income are we talking

sand flint
#

Idk the exacts
My family makes a lil over 100k range n i only got 5k need based fin aid (loans, not including merit scholarships) which is low considering cwru costs 90k

vivid oxide
#

Yea ofc

#

Do they consider divorced parents as separate incomes or what

#

On the fafsa I have no efc and a sai of 0

sand flint
#

U have to submit the CSS profile

vivid oxide
#

And my mom who’s my main parent earns less than 50k

vivid oxide
#

The non custodial parent thing hasn’t gone through yet tho

indigo phoenix
#

Do the fin aid calc

vivid oxide
#

Oh snap

image.png
#

Not that bad

#

Lets hope I get accepted

still galleon
#

i checked the cds for 2024 and somehow the acceptance rate went up like 9 percentage points

#

~29% for people entering in fall '23 but almost 38% for '24

#

that kinda makes no sense considering how competitive things have been getting

zenith flume
#

is there any point in declining admission before may 1?

#

does it help ppl get off the waitlist

#

i hate these spam mails 🙏😭

hearty current
#

i dont think it does??

#

dont quote me on that tho

sand flint
#

thats why i sent em to spam

rare phoenix
#

I qualify for max aid since I'm low income

#

So I can answer most questions ab that

rare phoenix
vivid oxide
#

And by max aid wdym? Like full tuition and board covered or what

rare phoenix
#

Out of state but case is private that doesn't matter

#

No I just mean I qualify for the most they give

#

That is all of tuition though

vivid oxide
#

Oh okay

rare phoenix
#

Let me see if I can find the breakdown

vivid oxide
#

And what’s the highest of low income you have to be

rare phoenix
#

All things considered I'm only paying $800 a semester to go here

vivid oxide
#

Wow

rare phoenix
vivid oxide
#

I have a 0 but I heard that’s alright

#

I’ve gotten max Pell grant for other schools idk how much that correlates

rare phoenix
#

Yeah 0 is what used to be the most

#

So it should be pretty much the same

#

Either way you're not expected to pay anything by the fafsa

vivid oxide
#

Okay that’s good

#

Do you have other scholarships cuz even with the waived tuition it’s still like 13k

#

According to the calculator I did

rare phoenix
#

No I don't

#

This was mine

Screenshot_20240316_120653_Chrome.jpg
#

This one doesn't include the FAFSA loans

#

At the end of it all they wanted me to pay around 3-4k a semester but I waived the insurance plan and it became $800 a semester

vivid oxide
#

Oh okay

#

So did the loans help you cover room n board

rare phoenix
#

I think the $800 I'm paying is for that

#

That or the meal plan

#

Probably the meal plan actually

#

But yeah the loans covered all but $800

vivid oxide
#

Hm okay thx for the info

#

Now hopefully I get accepted first 😭

#

Did you complete the css too?

rare phoenix
#

Yes

#

Well

#

Last year

rare phoenix
#

Case has the perpetual problem of always being the backup for people who apply to Ivy's

#

So since if someone gets into one of those better schools they'll go there instead of case

#

They may have had an underwhelming class of people who actually committed

#

Possible they heightened acceptances to get more possible commits

#

Just a theory though

#

A school theory

#

If you don't have coverage in their area

did cwru have less applicants this season?

#

how did they finish up their decision making by a full week

indigo phoenix
#

maybe they just rejected everybody

twilit turret

rare phoenix
#

I do have a dormmate that actively chose to come here over Columbia? Or brown? One of those two

#

Which is kinda funny

#

But usually that's not the case

bronze oasis
#

thats insane

#

was it a financial or smthing decision?

rare phoenix
#

I think so but I find that odd because you would assume their aid is better than cases

grizzled gale
#

cwru spammed me with emails to apply if i get rejected ts gna pmo

rare phoenix
#

Maybe it was a need vs merit thing

bronze oasis
#

i got deferred EA so im just waiting

rare phoenix
#

Case does give like 40 grand on merit so

bronze oasis
#

oh damn

#

i'm applying CS so i'd have to compare CWRU to Maryland. I'm leaning towards Maryland but i'm not 100% sure yet

indigo phoenix
#

cwru would be cheaper

#

ivies dont give meirt scholarships

#

cwru throws 30-40k at you for exsiting

#

assuming botjh are 90k, cwru is indeed cheaper

If they gave me an estimated scholarship is it a good guess that I’ll get off the waitlist

indigo phoenix
#

not sure

storm rivet

#

why did they include the option on the top?

image.png
#

how in the world would they be able to verify whether or not it is actually my top choice

sonic shuttle
#

if i were u i would click the top option cuz theres no way they're gonna be able to verify ts?

indigo phoenix
#

i dont see why youd do the second choice though

#

either you want to go to CWRU or you dont

silk radish
#

guys

#

should i pick Case Western, UCLA or UCB for premed

#

cuz prestige UCs better but for gpa and stuff cwru is better idk..

granite latch
#

case western has a lot of opps

#

esp for research and clinical

#

since like 3 hospitals are right there

#

ucb is apparently difficult for premed

#

and ucla? maybe? they have insane class sizes and you gotta compete with a lot of people

#

but also case western has a depressing life according to some******

#

so like yea

indigo phoenix
#

i think both of those UCs are super cut throat in terms of competition

#

CWRU is collaborative

granite latch
#

esp the uc's are big public schools

#

fighting with 200 people to get into a prof's lab 💔

indigo phoenix
#

if u dont choose CWRU withdraw so i can get off the WL pls 🙏

granite latch
#

i'll withdraw on the 23rd

#

trust

indigo phoenix
#

withdraw rn gng 💔

granite latch
indigo phoenix
#

wat school then

#

i rmbr u got into a top school

#

i dont remmebr whic one though

granite latch
indigo phoenix
#

ya

granite latch
#

ya

indigo phoenix
#

so like if u got into washu

#

why havnet u committed

#

are you trybna get off a Wl or sm

granite latch
#

no im deciding between washu and a bs/md

#

and im waiting to tour that bs/md before making a decision

#

well okay i love washu and want to commit

#

its just

#

confirming i guess

indigo phoenix
#

i dont really wanna go to colby

#

midle of no where

indigo phoenix
#

im taking bs/md instantly personally

#

even if i hate the campus

#

i dont think theres any school worth going to over a BS/MD

#

Other then maybe if u wanna do surgery and the MD school is bad for surgery

granite latch
granite latch
#

you can't match into like neurosurgery w/o a gap year from that school

#

they had no matches

#

this year

indigo phoenix
#

brotha wants to do neurosurgery

#

are you 100% on that??

#

theres always the chance yo uchange your mind

granite latch
#

and they had like 2 derm and like 3 ortho after gap years

#

and the rest like 60% do internal med

indigo phoenix
#

have you like shadowed neurosurgery?

granite latch
sharp bloom
#

i need more than a month to make my decision 😭

indigo phoenix
#

so are you confident theres 0% chance you change your mind

#

because like

granite latch
indigo phoenix
#

is it 8 year or 7 year?

granite latch
#

its 6

#

lmao

indigo phoenix
#

??

#

bro go to umkc

#

even if u have to gap year its fine

#

ur already ahead of the game dawg

granite latch
#

i got full tuition scholar at washu tho

indigo phoenix
#

maybe ask r/premed

granite latch
#

i did

#

lol

indigo phoenix
#

cause i feel like the umkc is the play

#

what did they say

granite latch
#

that's what they're saying

#

cut off 2 years and go

indigo phoenix
#

do it lol

granite latch
#

but like for me idrc about the length

#

more of the journey than the destination

indigo phoenix
#

you will when you're in your late 20s

granite latch
#

i want a 4 year experience

#

and explore

#

umkc just gives you hard science and not enough research opps

indigo phoenix
#

esp if ur doing neuro

#

you want thpse 2 years

granite latch
#

i've been talking to current students and they don't have a lot of research and the cohort is toxic and miserable

indigo phoenix
#

neurosurgery residency is laready what like 9 years long?

silk radish
granite latch
indigo phoenix
granite latch
#

but im not only considering neuro

#

anesthesia too

indigo phoenix
#

(CWRU pls take me off WL)

granite latch
#

or peds surgery

#

so like it depends yk

#

i don't want to close off competitive specialities

indigo phoenix
#

what happens if you break the bs/md contract

#

can you still apply to other schoos

#

i mean i feel like oyu should still go to UMKC

indigo phoenix
granite latch
#

lol

indigo phoenix
#

i mean

#

the thing about bs/md

#

and why most ppl in umkc go into internal medicine

#

it might be because they just stopped owrking

#

once they got ot undergrad

granite latch
#

a student told me that people decide internal med there because they realized it's too hard to go elsewhere

indigo phoenix
#

like i know someone whos gotten into t20s and bs/do and wants to go to a bs/do caus they just dont wanna work anymore

granite latch
#

esp compared to other med schools

indigo phoenix
#

ask someone who actually made it out

granite latch
#

i talked to a current med student there

#

and she said she had to put in an insane amount of effort for research opps compared to her friends. from like, my state med school

#

which obviously effort is needed

#

people make it out but it's rare

#

and get into like, a cool residency program at a lower rate compared to say my state med school

indigo phoenix
#

i mean i think its like

#

do you want to gamble on yourself for residency or for med school and residency

#

Neuro is going to be hard no matter where ytou go

granite latch
#

i know

#

again im considering things other than neuro too

#

like anesthesia or peds

indigo phoenix
#

me personally im going to the shit hole to only gamble on residency

indigo phoenix
granite latch
#

with washu and the opportunities from the scholarship im given i'd like to live out the 4 years and then try for a better med school

indigo phoenix
#

what if u have to gap year

#

now youre look at 5+4

#

instead of the 4+2 you had

#

gap years are becoming more and more common

#

because its just that competitive

granite latch
#

finishing med school at 25 instead of 24 then

indigo phoenix
#

9 years vs 6 years

granite latch
#

25 instead of 22

#

besides i wanna live my life a little and cherish the years before i tough it out and grind for like

indigo phoenix
#

yeah then u have to go rot in residency for 7 years

granite latch
#

4+residency

indigo phoenix
#

do u wana be a 29 year old neurosurgeon or a 32 year old neurosurgeon

granite latch
#

im so serious bro it's the journey > destination for me rn

granite latch
indigo phoenix
#

"the friends we made along the way" ahh statement

granite latch
#

because at 35 i'll be a neurosurgeon

#

at 42 i'll be a neurosurgeon

#

and then the 3 years don't really matter at that point

indigo phoenix
#

also u gotta rememebr the loans stack up

granite latch
#

parents are paying for med school fortunately

indigo phoenix
#

bro waht

#

😭

granite latch
#

yeah

indigo phoenix
#

my parents have already tod me theyre giivng me jack shit

granite latch
#

undergrad is essentially free-ish

#

i made a deal with them that they'd either pay for med school or undergrad

#

well

indigo phoenix
#

my dad had a heart attack when he saw uroch costed 11k per year

granite latch
#

they told me that

#

so i decided washu since it's cheaper and it's covered in the 529

indigo phoenix
#

whats 529

#

528 mcat reference

granite latch
#

ong

granite latch
indigo phoenix
#

im so scared of studying for the mcat

#

i dont know how i got past the sat

granite latch
#

investment entirely for education funds

indigo phoenix
#

i bullshitted my way

granite latch
#

like bio is cool

#

and chemistry

indigo phoenix
#

yeah its not that im scared of

granite latch
#

i like biochem that was one of my favorites from ap bio

indigo phoenix
#

its the CARS section

granite latch
#

omg that too

indigo phoenix
#

im gonna get destroyed

granite latch
#

major in huamnities and then you'll be fine

indigo phoenix
#

im doing philosophy cluster at uroch (mini minor)

#

so maybe ill be fine

granite latch
#

fire

indigo phoenix
#

i love uroch

#

it has open curiculum

#

the only pre req is the 1st year wriitng class

#

and then they wnat you to do 2-3 classes in a social stuyd and 2-3 classes in a humanity

#

im majoring in neuro so im prob gonna do my social study in like psych and my humanity in phio

#

or maybe ill branch out for my social study idk cause i prob have to take them anyway for my major

granite latch
#

fire

night dragon
#

yeah am a big fan of open curriculum stuff, i think cwru does it too to an extent at least with the visual arts

night dragon
#

its so tempting

#

for my major they got a cool thing where you can spend a semester interning in NYC

#

or maybe its all majors i dunno

sick karma
#

waitt case's acceptance package is kinda cute... most practical so far

cloud mountain
#

i wannnnna commit but my mom says i gotta tour firstttt ahhhh

#

also why is everyone on the cwru 2029 insta page like "im not 100% committed but its a top choice' thenn why are u posting on there!!!!!

anyone know how many students get merit scholarship at Case and what the average amount is?

bronze oasis

anywhere from 20 to 48k is what i've seen

grizzled gale
bronze oasis
#

For Case Western it was

grizzled gale
#

they didnt give me shiii 😭

bronze oasis
#

Uh oh

#

I personally wouldn’t suggest paying upwards of 90k for CWRU but if it’s your top choice then go for it

#

Is there an option to renegotiate aid?

bronze oasis
#

bruh hop off lmao they obv don't give it to everyone

#

don't make someone feel bad just cuz they didn't get a scholarship to the same school as u

If anyone has any questions about cwru, yall can reach out to me and I’ll try my best to answer it

bronze oasis
#

Oh wow we have an elder in the A2C world

#

Lend me some of your wisdom

#

Is it doomed for CS jobs 😭

true thistle
#

As a CS major
The market right now is god tier awful

bronze oasis
#

NOOOO

true thistle
#

But that’s for most majors (plus im intl) so im hella cooked

bronze oasis
#

Tbh I was thinking of going into public school teaching in my hometown after college

true thistle
#

But I don’t share the view that jobs in cs wont be there

bronze oasis
#

At least for a few years to get things figured out

true thistle
#

The jobs are there
It’s just hella competitive and Big Tech is slowly becoming like Wall Street

#

Target school hiring is rampant

bronze oasis
#

If I can secure a tenure and contract that would be fire honestly

#

Is that a good outlook lmao

true thistle
#

If you wanna do well in CS - definitely be interested in it, grind it out, and ofc know atleast the basics of AI-ML coz jobs do want it now

bronze oasis
#

The reason why I’m up at this god awful hour is because I spent 3 hours webscraping and intercepting content with selenium wire so it can automatically complete AP classroom assignments

#

I have le interest

true thistle
# bronze oasis Is that a good outlook lmao

I mean idk how you’ll be able to move back into industry from teaching
It’s definitely unconventional and I personally won’t do that but that’s also coz I wanna make hella bank

bronze oasis
#

xD chase the bag lmao

true thistle
bronze oasis
#

Ty :)

#

It’s great to hear someone graduating soon who isn’t a complete doomer

#

Tons of my friends just send me “homeless tips” and McDonald’s job offerings on instagram

true thistle
#

Oh I have given up partially but that’s also coz im not a big fan of cs - i did it coz im a brown guy and my parents were like - yeah do cs
Im doing a masters in finance simultaneously but I’ve fucked up my GPA for WS and IB
But that’s fine

#

I’m gonna try to rewire myself this summer and pick a direction that I can put my head down and work on

#

People like to meme that cs is cooked and they aren’t wrong but there’s hella opportunities imo because cs is firstly very transferable and even if you can’t make it in the typical IT role - you can always walk into any industry since everyone needs a IT guy

#

Also pro tip if you go to UMD - leverage the fuck out of the alumni network and companies nearby and career fairs
