<p>I can speak perfectly clear on this matter. Case used to be a much more respected school in academia, in fact once being UChicago’s greatest rival. Yet, the problem is that Cleveland has really deteriorated; no one wants to live here. Thus, what happens is that the infrastructure of its past prestige allows for a maintenance of a relatively high level of professorship, research, and facilities. What it does not allow for, however, is the desire for students to pick CWRU over any number of other well respected institutions. I would also suggest its high acceptence rate is similar to UChicago’s merely a decade ago. The main difference being that one can market Chicago much more successfully than Cleveland.</p>
