S24 admitted. Applied to business program. $35K/year merit award for upto 8 semesters (I assume that is 4 years).GPA UW 4 / Weighted 4.4. CA large diverse public school, 1550+ SAT, NMSF (I think these 2 quantifiable factors made the difference.
Been lurking on this site for the past few years; time flies but we can’t believe that S24 was admitted to Nursing. 26.5K/year merit. Not sure we will afford this with 64.1K tuition / 18K boarding (2023) if he goes here.
GPA 3.6/ 4.2 weighted. SAT 1410. Private SoCal. 7 APs, 5 IBs. Varsity Athletics, Captain, Lots of healthcare EC including CNA work. Hospital summer work and CNA summer job likely did the trick.
We are in same boat…my daughter is trying to figure out if she got into spring because they feel she is not as good as regular decision applicants or they feel she will be accepted in other colleges and won’t go here so if she commits in EDII she gets in Fall.
There are so many adcom conversations for which I’d love to be a fly on the wall. One of them is definitely the one wherein they discuss how much merit to give, to whom, tied to what admissions commitments, etc.
My son is deferred 1500SAT, ACT 33, 3.7 GPA(full IB), OOS. His first choice is U of Michigan Ann arbor. Now he is freaking out if he will denied or deferred for U of M too.
Any one who got deferred to Case but admitted to to U of M?
For case western I don’t think OOS matters. Are you in state for Michigan? Michigan for out of state is hard but if you are instate he may have a better chance.
Case is a demonstrated interest school.My student attended an info session in person and one online and met with rep once when they were at a college fair. I think these helped. He was admitted with fairly high stats etc .
Speaking as a parent of a student who applied last year, I think that Case can be very quirky in its admissions and merit decisions. In addition to academic strength, they are looking for some combination of perceived “fit,” and likelihood that the applicant will commit to the school.
From last year’s results, some students appeared to be obviously strong candidates and were accepted. Some students appeared relatively weaker, in terms of both raw stats and their results at other schools, but were accepted at Case (often with high levels of merit). And some students were deferred or denied at Case, despite being apparently strong candidates with many admissions at other schools. Are such students denied on the basis of yield protection, or lack of perceived fit? We will never really know.
I would not recommend that students take a Case decision to be a predictor of other schools’ decisions (in either direction). These decisions are independent. Please advise your student not to freak out because of a Case decision.
The portal is asking him to either choose to move his application to ED or to RD. But it isn’t a simple check box. It wants academic & EC updates, as well as a “why CWRU” essay.
I don’t think he is going to have any updates except his fall grades. And he is not looking forward to writing another essay he wasn’t expecting. I’m not sure he is going to have much chance in RD…
Last year, my high stats student (engineering major) applied EA, was deferred and then waitlisted by Case, but told that he would receive a $20K scholarship if he committed to attend. I thought that was a very unusual approach. He chose to commit elsewhere.
