Son admitted EA with $43k merit scholarship and perhaps another honors offering? I cant recall. Fortunately (or unfortunately) he was admitted ED to Wash U in St. Louis so we will be paying full sticker price instead!!! AHHHH. He had 3.8 UW/4.6 W GPA, 35 Superscore on ACT, Mostly AP or honors classes. Good leadership and advocacy/social action activities. Great (in my opinion) common app essay.

Wow. That is great about Wash U. The sticker price though I am sure is jarring.
Yup. WUSTL estimate (with housing, fees, etc) is about $80k so having to pass on this merit scholarship hurts a bit!!

Do you think your kid would like to attend CWRU, or are they thrilled about WashU? I am asking because I noticed your other post about your kid wanting to change majors.
I donāt know how that affects ED agreements after admissions and whatnot. I do know that Case is unrestricted as far as picking majors (except nursing I believe).

Yes he is thrilled to be attending WashU. He is also committed due to the ED agreement. He is deciding what he wants to study and things are shifting for him. It is just rough as the parent to see this much merit money at a great school such as CRWU go by!

Last year my daughter did the deferred ED2 thing. She heard when the PPSP group heard that they made next round. So around the 20th or so of January. She told them in December that she wanted to do the ED2. That might give you an idea.
@ColdWombat I think you could even switch to nursing before starting but you would have to let them know ASAP.

I am sure you are right. We were told that on a tour last year. Actually she said you could even tell them once there but the clinical starts within the first few weeks so any later than that and you would be behind. It actually sounded like it could still happen but would have to catch up or take extra semesters.
Has anyone who was EA deferred heard back on their ED II yet? The deferral note in the portal suggested people would start to hear back within two weeks of application update, as early as Jan 9.
Last year my daughter did the EA- ED2. She heard with the PPSP group that was hearing if they made the next round. No notice that is was coming. She had actually contacted her AO to make sure nothing was missing since school doesnāt send a midyear until February. She was told they had everything. That was a Friday. She got her yes on the Saturday around 11 or 12 and only found out because she asked me to look for something in the portal and what it said was you have an update. A few hours later she got the email to check. It was at the end of January and also the day after UMiami put out EA decisions. It was funny because she had just finished an interview with a different school with an admissions office and got a yes on the phone. Hang in there it will come.

spoke with admissionsā¦they said that ED II, whether deferred or standard, will be notified ānext weekā. And the journey continuesā¦
Blows my mind how a kid with a 1500+ SAT, 4.4 weighted GPA, with EC, leadership and APs gets deferred. And so many with these sorts of numbers!

it isnt that they are unqualified. It is a numbers game Common app allows for all these high stat kids to apply to so many schools - and some really do apply to so many it is hard for the schools to accept every qualified student. All these schools are getting so many more apps than before - especially with TO. CWRU gets 10,000 more apps today than 5 years ago. The process is fractured

My D23 received good aid from CWRU. But not enough.
Received much better at a peer school.
Does Case ever match or bump aid if presented with evidence of a much better offer??
Second question- she just received an email (likely mass) encouraging her to apply for a full tuition scholarship. Click through and you see there are very few available so probably not a great use of time. But would applying show some level of interest that would signal to them that money is an issue, and maybe a deciding factor, and prompt them to enhance her offer?
Iāve read multiple accounts of people asking for additional merit and quickly and politely being told no but thereās no harm in asking.

Thereās a high density of college bound kids in our area. So, High schools here put an enormous amount of pressure to withdraw apps immediately after an ED acceptance.
I think they want to improve the chance of acceptance for other kids in our area who have applied to competitive programs, especially other EDs, EAs or UW/UCs that have fixed allocations for various high schools.
Case has a great nursing program. Congrats!
