@SonaMain… it is hard if you dont’ get into your top college…but I would suggest that at this point you pick a college and start focusing on that college. If you do get the opportunity to get off a waitlist you can change your mind, but in the mean time focus on the college you did get into and buy that sweatshirt and own your choice!
@bopper yea for sure! I commited today, and will check my email everyday ;(
@SonaMain hey, did you receive the waitlist status update email yesterday? And if you did, what time was it?
@pbyatmsk Yes I did! I got it at 4:10 am EST
@SonaMain I didn’t get it. After waiting for a while, I logged in my portal and update the status myself. Hope this doesn’t mean I was rejected 
@pbyatmsk Nah its prob u lost it in ur emails. My email always come in promotions section for some reason
@SonaMain i’ve check everything and didn’t see it anywhere. I will email them and ask about this. Hope that was just a mistake 
@pbyatmsk def a mistake. Id say dont worry too much, were the still waiting anxiously group.
@SonaMain thank you let’s hope that we will both receive our acceptance soon.
@pbyatmsk yessssss plzz goddddd
I got off the waitlist at Case Western and I received a 25K scholarship. I plan to study biology and later on go to medical school and then become a psychiatrist. If I go in-state to the University of Arizona, I will be paying about 15K for housing. But, if I go to Case Western, I will be paying about 53K a year to go. What’s the best decision for a pre-med student?
Has anyone heard anything?
@silverfalls31 a difference of 38k a year will amount to 152k after 4 years. By no means is that a small sum. Considering you want to go to med school (which will cost upwards of 300k a year), it is better to reduce all debt whenever possible. On top of this, I believe that there isn’t a profound difference between U of Arizona and CWRU to justify a 38k difference per year. Remember this: what matters more to med school is what you do with the opportunities presented to you. A U of Arizona applicant with a 3.9 GPA, 520 MCAT, 3 years of research, several hundred hours of clinical experience, and meaningful essays is much more appealing to a medical school admissions board than a Harvard applicant with a 3.3 and a 500 MCAT with a couple hours of shadowing
They just sent an email saying
I am writing with an update regarding the waitlist at Case Western Reserve University. While we would like to have more of a clear picture of how our incoming class is shaping up, and would then know whether we could admit additional students or whether we should close our waitlist, what we are seeing right now is that there is a fair amount of uncertainty. It may be several weeks or longer until we have a better sense of whether we can extend additional offers.
We have already released many students from our waitlist, but since you are a student we would like to be able to admit if we have room, we have not yet closed your file.
We will be back in touch with an update in late May, and we’ll contact you as soon as possible once we know whether we are able to admit additional students or if we need to release the rest of the waitlist.
Thank you for your continued interest in Case Western Reserve, and please be in touch with any questions you may have.
God bless everyone still waiting. I rlly wish we can get in
@SonaMain Around what time did you receive the email? I got mine around 4PM CST
I got the email around 5PM EST. Do you guys think they send it to anyone who still remains on the waitlist or just a few people?
Congrats to everyone who got in!
What did you decide?
@ymeiqi 5:05 pm Est yesterday
@silverfalls31
It depends on your family’s financial situation.
If they can pay for private college tuition & med school with no difficulty and have the desire to, then I would say it is up to you. Do you want a smaller student body and be able to have a dedicated Pre-med advisor and have hospital’s to volunteer at literally across the street?
But if 50K affects your parents retirement/or you would have to take loans out, then I would consider a less expensive school.
