Congratulations! On behalf of the Case Western Reserve University Board of Trustees and President Eric Kaler, it is my honor to inform you that you have been admitted to our class of 2030. This invitation to join one of the nation's premier universities comes in recognition of your strong academic and personal achievements. Additionally, you have been selected as a Michelson-Morley Scholarship recipient. This award carries a value of $35,500 per year for a maximum of eight semesters.
wtf

Yayy let's goo
thats why
dont take it to heart
they think you wont go and they're protecting their yield
I showed so much bru im lowkey pissed
did you get scholarship
yea private school moment
waitlisted too what is cwru even abt
Rejected π
yeah for 17k
is there a real shot of getting in after waitlisted
whetehr they yeild protect or not has nothing to do with u
nicee
For those who were waitlisted do you apply for aid
i did
its their fault really
efc around 45k
bro they didnt give me aid but accepted me
if anything that makes you even more impressive for getting in wouth ed 2 or ed 1
My efc was like 6k
idk i got defer-> accept, showed no extra interest. probably because my app isnt strong enough to get yielded π
like i cant go here even if i wanted to π
and my app is decent but def not to the level of being yield protected
deferred then waitlisted smh
what is this yield thing
You got into gt brochacho
brother if u got accepted then ur app was strong enough to get yeild protected, not the other way around
Did a lot ofnppl get in
sorry if i come off as a bitch
who wanna do a poll
nah ur good
bro lwk getting into case might be bad
we're just saying that you should be happy
βWe are optimistic that we will be able to grant a number of acceptances to students from the wait list. Over the last three years, an average of 600 students per year were offered admission from the wait list at Case Western Reserve, with additional students being offered a place in our spring class. Housing is guaranteed for all students who are admitted from the wait list. Need-based financial aid and scholarships will also be available for students who qualify.β
and proud of urself
Decent chance
kinda what im saying
uhoh
Anyone here also apply to northeastern
I got deferred -> rejected
did yall apply to pre-med or something
Wait twin
nope math
got in
wow we both got the exact same thing for neu and cwru
insane
i did BME or something
congrats!
i applied biochem so ig thats competitive
Where else have you gotten in?
Same
bro this aid is dog shit
rutgers purdue drexel and pitt
Oh sick
biochem is so unemployed its over for US bro
i got in but only 37k off π
They said they cap the amount of biochem majors they have
does anyone know where u see financial aid packages
guys they say ts and then reject me T-T WHAT IS THIS BRO IM SO PISSED
waitlist with 3.91 and 1560 ok cwru π was the commonapp essay that bad
EXACTLY THATS WHAT THEY DID TO ME TOO
dude i think they sent i tto everyone
as a marketting tactic
Defo yield protection now that we get more data points
omg
thats too bad then
thats insane
thats why im scared i got in
π
33 act 4.49 gpa with independent research submitted and state/national level recognition
got rejected from MIT got yield protected from CWRU bro what the fuck
And strong ECs imo
damn those are crazy stats
mine arent even close to that
I have one research ec and thats it
π
did anyone else get like a personalized note at the bottom of their acceptance letter π
Who thinks getting in is bad π
Yeah
Very kind
all that for this
Aw thatβs so cute of them
But it's so stupid they want 65000 dollars
maybe IF I GET A SPOT
Hell fucking no
how did you see your aid package
It's at the bottom of the letter
bottom of the letter
no I meant emails
where else have you gotten in
ty
I GOT IN
oh mine is not
ive heard they still send emails even after you're in like your second semof freshman year
i just got the letter lol
fin aid is kinda sucky so far but i got admitted!
can i ask case for more aid if the aid isn't enough for me to consider them?
That's what I'm doing
Ima use offers from other schools
thats kind
hey they gave me a PS too
Ye i think they give everyone
for the Andrew and Eleanor Squire Scholarship decisions are decisions for the competition finalist thing out yet or nah?
that's cool
why are there no mods online btw
i didnt get it whats that
Im grateful for the acceptance and aid package that i got but I feel like id rather go to uva than case if case isn't that much less expensive
P.S. I hope you join our CWRU Crew team!
Like a little note at the bottom
@fast glen is there gonna be a poll for cwru or nah
what did yours say
Bro its so expensive bro
it was abt research
After scholarship i got 60k to pay still
Yeah like wtf
SAME
π
thats worse than drexel my god π
i got 35.5k a year
though i applied for the andrew and elanor squire one and idk if decisions for it are out yet ??
Same ima negotiate with them
yep
yes
gl
Fr bru 90k to 40k im still not affording that
take ur time twin
Mine was abt my club
peak strategy:
tuition is 20k
raise tutition to 90k
give everyone scholarships for 60k
profit
I meant I'll commit to a college if some college offers me a spot
at this rate I'm looking at 0/13 bro
ull get in somewhere
what safeties did u apply to?
too shit to get into MIT too good for CWRU what do we do T-T
and stats if u dont mind me asking
I've got an offer from european unis if the US doesn't work out so I've got some peace
that sgood
which ones?
1520 SAT but (imo) cracked ECs to a reader who udnerstands what they're reading
guys is getting waitlisted a bad sign??
yield
Twente and TU/e
same but valedictorian and i got into cmu ECE already
cwru is known for yield
holy smokes dude what
oml
bruh
does this mean waitlists likely arent getting in?
yield protection is so stupid
i didnβt know cwru is this hard
they give you these itchy fuzzy as hell socks
Itβs better than some selective colleges
well i got waitlisted so no more fuzzy socks π
its not hard
what the flippp bro they sen tme emails calling me an accomplished high school student and said that they were impressed by my achievements
its the same exact situation as northeastern
i thought that meant id def get in????
i didnt interact with any email or ao or anything
just a tiny bit better
this is dumb
I KNOW RIGHT
I literally met with my AO at my school and had like a 15 minute convo with her and gave her my info
I was kinda half assed looking forward to that massive makerspace ngl
case loves to market
i thought it was a good sign
lol i also got waitlisted from neu
yep
I didnt apply for consideration of alternate campuses and shit
and got rejected
I was rejected :P
actually I did want to be considered for NUIN
Even though I indicated that Iβd be ok with alt campuses
ah whatevs
yea oakland is still 17% acceptance rate
nah cwru is weird
cornell, rice or tufts need to save my ass now
could just be not enough demonstrated interest
Columbia or stony gotta save me
cuz like if they had a 80% acceptance rate this time thatd be horrible for me...
I showed 0 interest
Is there not a poll?
can also be a regional thing, or your calculated odds of attendance just met the threshold
@modern quail
i hate you cwru!!!!!
+1
@everyone case western is out! vote on the poll above!
not sure how i got in with 34k merit tho, 0 demonstrated interest
at least I had a waiver
i hate hate hate hate hate hate cwru
stupid appli portal
i hate how long your password needs to be
Rejected π
i hate cwrus password requirements
cwru is so annoying why does your password need to be so long
College aps r rng
Bruh
why is cwru's portal so ugly
all of it is ugly
have u seen the logo gang
ITS HIDEOUS
yeah schools that yield protect are weird
CWRU IS THE WORST COLLEGE TO EXIST
i did too, i think cwru is known for giving merit aid, could just be that they liked ur academics
they're not using the same portal that literally every other college uses
also this
real talk they have different institutional demands they have to meet every year that are totally unrelated to merit, all of this application stuff is pretty far beyond any of you
Yo
ππ₯π
Wat yall decisions
waitlisted
CATASTROPHIC WICKED RABIES UNACCEPTABLE = CWRU
Loll same
you have 7 acceptances right?
yes
theyre not allthat tho...
uw, neu, sbu, ucsc, ucd, ucm, ucr (i regret applying to the uc safeties)
chill out
bro you gotta chill out you're in a good position
fuck CWRU don't give them any more of your time
I HATE CWRU!!!!!!!
Bro I didnt submit my self reported sat score on the portal
im going to lie on my loci and say that theyre my top choice and if i get in i will go so that ways they accept me and i decide not to go to decrease their yield rate and sabotage their rankings
i have an evil plan of vengenec now
π₯
Same :D
cornellplssavemefromthismiseryplsibegyou
UPenn, Cornell, Princeton, maaybe rice are my only hopes now
Where all have you gotten in so far?
union college but with no way to afford it ππ
Oh no :(
can't wait to get yield protected by the ivies guys
yooo
i just got selected for their university scholarship
31.5k per year
wth
i showed no interest bro
got into cwru
did anyone get this
yes but mines only 29k yr
yes 42k!!!!
do you guys know to check financial aid for cwru?
4.0 UW GPA, went test optional no weighted GPA
not much other than that
if you dont have finaid itll come very soon
alr pre similar
3.98 UW 1570
just wait
are y'all considering case
no
i go there lol
I got rejected straight up
do you like it?
arent they known for yield?
yeah i'm generally happy with it
i mean looking at my schools scattergram
idk i got waitlisted with a 1560 and 3.91
everyone w above a 1510 sat gets in
this whole channel just got yield protected
an di really dont think my commonapp was that bad
oh shit
can i ask what region you're from
im from iowa tho
like i have solid ecs, international journalism award, and i had ppl look over the commonapp essay
might have to do w that
cracked ECs for engineering bro and it wasn't enough ππ
washington
intl hurts like hell
aw man
youll have beter luck somewhere else, other colleges are nicer to intl students
i heard georgetown takes them a lot and nyu
sister states! im from oregon but idk if thats more comp or not
ayyyy i love oregon
thats better market
fav part of oregon is your guys' voodoo donuts
washington is oversubscribed
everyone in washington are js like those socal sewats
π
move to iowa habibi
overrated imo better places put therere
youre lying
anywhere thats not on the west/east coast or is texas and chicago
what they write for yallβs personal notes
uiuc aero I assume but idk
prolly uiuc
Yeah uiuc
YAY I GOT IN
Google says, it has acceptance rate of 42%
molly moons clears
Depends more on ur stats atp since the majors have some differences
Canβt go off acceptance rates alone
You applied to it?
the university scholarship i think was 30k
how much did u get
per year*
yeah basically same tier or better
im lowk scared i got in π
wym
case yields
dude
this is selection bias
most people on here are complaining bc they thought theyd get in w high stats
plus u got into GT and UDub
if anything this is a really good signal
yeah idk how lmaooo im defo not the best applicant
like i got in but ive also gotten accepted to CMU and UMich w only 1 rejection princeton rea
so dont overread into it everyone here is just coping
CMU is crazy
CS?
no math and econ lol
he made a statement so trash even his own gang clowned him
im not that crakced
salt and straw is the best ice cream to exist
aside from bens and jerrys and the trader joes mango calamari sorbet
i got WL for data science
its good, but molly moons is better
be so fr
i did ED to CMU and got defer -> waitlist
i am fr
fml
oh nice
they waitlist a lotta rly strong ppl
dude ull be fine ur defo a good applicant for other schools
cmu will take you off if you write about salt n straw in a loci
thanks man you too
I had such an amazing interview
One hour and 5 ish minutes
She said βwe were a perfect match as an interviewer and intervieweeβ
I applied to uiuc but not aero
does case western do yield protection
yes
1550 sat but I forgot to self report in the portal
fr??
Wait I didnβt see my cwru decision
they have a p low yield
I forgot my id
Bro same πππ
but its usually from early they defer
I guess I'll just figure it out later
what about regular
the website has been glitchy all day today
i wasnt able to either and had to look through devices with it saved
I feel like a solid 50-60% of websites are like that on decision day
If account reset or some technical problem occurs itβs gonna be hard to fix immediately
Whatβs the deffersl rate?
Bro wtf 18 accepted and only 4 rejects
wait no i thinj uni one varies
i saw smone get 42k, another 29
Waitlisted my stupid chungus life
P sure everyone gets at least 25k merit
Congrats everyone that got in and for people that got rejected dw the weather is shit here
They dgaf about DI itβs not scored on the admissions file, I read mine
University scholarship factors in financial stuff so thatβs why it seems kinda arbitrary
wtf is cwru doingβ¦ I didnβt even fill out the defer form in feb
And then I got waitlisted??
why is that surprising
I thought they would just reject me lolβ¦
not necessarily
i really love how they have the little ps notes
I didnt get one, that a bad thing?
is it not at the very bottom of the admit letters
interesting
Thanks! Is it okay if I DM you questions when I have them?
I didnβt even bother checking until now but I was deferred ea -> accepted with a 35.5k merit
nah idt so bc they had a ps note for me on something i barely mentioned
Iβm not on discord 24/7 + there probably were mods online just not joined to this thread so they only showed online if you looked outside of it
is anyone able to retrieve their cwru id
I havenβt checked my decision yet
bc idk my id
Their system is prolly having problems
ya all day
LOL I think voodoo donuts are just really heavy in dough I like my donuts light
But salt and straw is good..
also bad take, I review ice cream as a side quest... there is def better ice cream but for a chain spot its sooo good
I got waitlisted π and didnt get a ps note, wraps for me?
Can u tell me ur stats pls
Yo I have a qn, are u supposed to self report test scores on the portal again if u apply via common apps where u already mentioned ur sat score?
Whats the difference some ppl getting 34k 32k and 35k with the same scholarship
i think i got lucky cause i got 40k π
bro
my friend got wl from cwru
and this was the reason....
is ts same for all wl ppl?
did any admitted students got ts?
y does bro want me to join their soccer club if they didnt give me any scholarship π
i think they add a ps note for almost all letter
damn wtf
They do
Its cute i like it
I didnt, that a bad sign π
..
I got waitlisted w no p.s . Does it mean my chances of getting off it are low
wl letters are all same ig
idt they have ps thing there
ohhh i c
I don't know how threads rlly work
sorry
There is one
.
Of course!
they had one?
bruh
what was it on
lmao π
idk
I didnt know they had one
fr
If you got deferred yeah
Only admitted students get a ps note
Not WL
i got ps join our soccer club lol
For the WL?
no i got admitted
Yeah I said admitted students get it
Thatβs not uncommon
Mine PS note was something about playing viola in chamber orch
bruh the cwru login stuff is killing me
I got my network id but forgot my passphrase
and I canβt reset it
i got waitlisted to cwru, is there anything i should do to increase my odds of getting in later? aside from attending qna and virtual info sessions as im already doing that
ik cwru really cares abt demonstrated interest
I have to reset every time I log in
π
I Cant even reset my passphrase
it wont allow me
How did you recover your network id?
do you know anything about Michelson-Morley STEM Scholarship
is it the same thing as the uni scholarship
I called
but to reset the passphrase i need to show them my passport or id
Called their university tech support line?
Which ID?
Peoplesoft one?
They will send you a congrats ur in email the day after if you were accepeted anyways
CWRU RD
26

1
Accepted
@woven scarab is cwru t25 globally?
per the time magazine but my username is a joke
i dont agree w it
π
you got an endowed (named) scholarship, it's not the university schol
Is that rarer than the uni scholarship
Does it mean anything or jackshit
no clue but it doesnt rly matter, money is money
u can put it on ur resume if u want under awards
i have an endowed scholarship and i always put it on like fellowship applications bc it sounds cool π
why is cwru still sending me promotional emails after waitlisting me
this is actual ragebait
if u get off the waitlist, you should say that you are committed and then withdraw it last minute
My note was about my robotics and that i woild enjoy the thinkbox
Very splendid 34k
Although im confused i didnt fill out the additional info form after getting deferred
Oh I wasted a good 2 hours filling out that form
I found out cwru was also spamming my parent's business emails
same and to my parents π
Probably a lot
does anyone know what it takes to get 29k bc thats what i got
and this school is still hella expensive
like how are ppl getting 48k+
They spam everyone
im oos and they gave me 40,500 + a 10kish grant
what are your stats
im oos too
here's the exact i js found it
3.88 UW GPA, 35 ACT, decent ecs 
it might be based on financial aid need too
mine was for their leadership program
I think it was smth mentioned in my LOR
1/3 of my apps is about my music career
Hi, does joining waitlist webinars improve chances of getting in?
And what do u have to do in student webinars
Itβs usually a presentation and/or gives you a chance to ask questions
What attracts u guys to CWRU so much?
They factor in financial stuff for university scholarship itβs not 100% merit based
R1, insane pre med opportunities, can be very cheap (Iβm here on a full ride), smaller campus
opportunities in general are abundant here
Wdym insane pre med opportunities
Cant u find the same in nyu for instance
We literally have Cleveland clinic on campus
Pre med is subjective
Definitely not
U have nyu grossman hospital system
Cleveland clinic is #2 hospital in the world
Lmao
Smaller campus = less people = less competition for opportunities
We have 74%+ pre meds get into their top choice MD program iirc
Ok I lied itβs 74% matriculation to med school in general
81% of ugs do research so like
Im also looking into pre med
Interesting
What sort of med schools are we talking?
Ugs can do research at any t20 id argue
Definitely not lmfao
Itβs not ability to do research itβs the number of opportunities
Like at UCLA ppl have to fight tooth and nail to get into a lab bc there just arenβt enough labs letting undergrads in
I am a cwru hater but I do recognize itβs one of the best schools for undergrad
itβs t10 for pre med Iβm p sure
And fin aid is very good?
Yeah itβs #10 for pre med
I pay 0 so Iβd say yes
Depends on ur income
With my parents income of 300k/yr I was paying $46k
But now that Iβm independent Iβm paying 0 bc itβs just my income
Holy smokes
I live with a single mom who makes 39k
Ur gonna pay $0
Or like at most have to take out just the subsidized loan
The nice thing abt cwru is like they give u a lot of money
thatβs the only reason Iβm here ngl
Iβd much rather be somewhere else with better weather
What were ur other acceptances
UCLA TAMU Baylor, capped by UT, I turned down WL for CMU UVA somewhere else Iβm forgetting
What are the grades like for STEM? Is there any inflation or deflation?
Depends on major
I know BME is brutal
EE
I think itβs just like normal
def not inflated
None of the Eng majors are inflated
Cuz like lwk the more i look into cwru the better it looks for me
Iβm ngl ur gpa does not matter for engineering
I want to get a phd
Yeah i wanna get into quantum hardware
we have that research here
Wasnt there like some collab with microsoft?
Idk ngl I just know I toured a microfab lab that did this stuff
I see
Last question, how is the co-op program?
And like the career fairs
What kind of companies show up?
Let me get u the list
Like every school has a co op program itβs just where you can do an internship during the semester instead of taking classes
Or do part time co op and part time college in the same semester
Ok the list is way too long for me to send bc itβs like 60 screenshots long on handshake
But if u have a specific company in mind I can look it up
I found that it was largely engineering and business related and very little biotech/pharma/biomed though from personal experience
Thanks!
does anyone know whether cwru has grade inflation or deflation in comparison to uva?
it wasnt 100% demonstrated need imo
U did something wrong then probably on the CSS
or u have hella assets
my friend pays like $5k a year w income over 100k
cwru is 100% need met so speak w a finaid advisor abt why itβs so high
depends on major
Inflated
everyone has a 4.0 basically
for psych
the pre med classes arenβt deflated but theyβre not easy
like there isnβt actual deflating but a lot of ppl struggle w ochem and intro physics for whatever reason
but thatβs at every school
The profs for the pre med reqs are sometimes evil
what abt the social life ?
Abysmal
jk itβs not a state school but itβs not that bad
u definitely have to put effort into it though it wonβt come finding you
like I joined a sorority so it was easy for me to do social things
ππ
itβs like it is what u make of it type of thing
thanks for all the help π
I was accepted under a "premed" major, can you explain what it means exactly? Like I picked premed from the major dropdown menu
Yes
There isnβt a pre med major
You can be any major and be pre med
They just let you designate pre health so you can have access to pre health resources and so ur advisor makes sure ur on the right track to graduate and have all ur pre reqs
There are two types of physicians with corresponding degrees: MD (allopathic medicine) and DO (osteopathic medicine). Both types of physicians address...
oh so ill get more information as I enroll?
yeah also you can check that website
and thereβs a pre med canvas course
Healthcare is one of the most emergent and dynamic career fields you can enter. It is also a demanding one that requires a lot of planning and explora...
Ty man appreciate it!!
i think it's 45k iirc
which residence hall is best at cwru
for freshmen? smith
juniper in general
NOT clarke
I got 48k so maybe thats the max
does cwru offer undergraduate in aerospace engineering?
also is 22.5k with everything included too much to pay?
Ahen will crwu email u abt waitlist
Waitlist usually starts moving in may
no when do they ask if u want to enter waitlist
Yes we have aerospace engineering, and depends on if u can afford it or not and if itβs worth it for you. $22.5k is cheaper than a lot of state schools (like my state school was $35k/yr)
for other colleges, if you get waitlisted its in your decision notice
@woven scarab do u like it at case
are waitlists here cooked??
No alot of accepted ppl gonna turn down offers so keep buckled
got into case for biochem , is it good for premed?
also what's the school culture like?
No but Iβm a hater and I hate the cold
Nerdy
t10 for premed yes
ive understoo\ that all that maters in premed is $$$$$$$$$
so if theyre asking u 60k it prolly isnt good for u unless u can easily afford it
ah ok, is that in a good way or a bad way?
Both
Yeah I agree to always pick the cheapest school but cwru has like insane opportunities for pre meds
Yo how do I accept my waitlist?
ah ok I see π
does it help getting into med school? i'm strongly considering cwru right now
60% of pre meds here get into med school
on the first time
case western sending me and my parents open house reminders even tho im waitlisted π
cannot be worth 240k tho
...
I go for free lol
That's super awesome
Can anyone help?
Call admissions
Bro, just say when will they ask me if I want to stay on the waitlist
Wait there should be a link in your letter right?
That's how it was for my waitlists
Theres not a link but they said they will email on 29th or smth? Im not sure
Well then wait till then bro
imagine yield protecting so hard that you have an option of if cwru is their top choice π
isnt everyone on the waitlist just going to click that????
they keep on emailing my parents π
πππ
I clicked remove from waitlist
purdue better fr
LMFAO
i will be emailing them this if they dont take me off
im in washington so everyone confuses cwru with western washington university anyway
guys i got into cwrus business school but does anyone acc go and is it even goodπ
itβs much cheaper than like osu and purdue for me but money isnβt the biggest issue if itβs that much worse than osu and purdue
i only hear about cwru for pre-med and nothing else
thjey keep spamming mye mail
yupp same
it's good for accounting
mid for everything else
i checked my mail and saw 8 packages from cwru after being waitlisted
what is their problem
bro i got one in my native language
thats honestly really sweet
yeah she gave me her personal messenger
Yo, i did not send my css profile to case western , but i do need fin aid, can I email the ao and ask them for aid now?
No harm in it
no
Finally got this
woahh what a beautiful acceptance package
might just be my favorite package so far
i love all the blue
$40k is a steal for an intl im ngl like 90%+ are full pay
I paid more my freshman year as a domestic π
i was waitlisted by cwru and they sent me a link to online virtual sessions telling me to register...but this is what happened when i clicked the link
congrats cwru on being listed as a new ivy!
is there a cwru discord server
yeah i found i js found it
yes sign in to education hub w ur case email
has anyone gotten off the wl yet?
Apparently there was movement so at least there's hope. Don't think it'd be much until mid may
Nice
dude i got off the waitlist today without writing a loci
im mad i got in atp bc its so close to may 1
im so sad they didnt give me a personalized message on the letter either
also did everyones letter say this or am i js cooned
*cooked
π
unfortunately its not worth the commitment fee π
