Yes but not as much as you. I only applied b/c they sent emails and I said why not? I also went ahead and had them hook me up with an alumni interview (Case is about 8hrs from home). We emailed back and forth about items missing from application and other financial aid info. It took a while until I heard from the alumnus. Then she finally called and we met. What was supposed to last no longer than 20 min lasted 1 hour and a half! We had a great conversation and she sent me a copy of what she wrote to the admissions committee. After our meeting I wrote the admissions counselor for my area (who has never reached out to me) and cc’d Mr. McCoulough letting them know that the interview sealed the deal and made CWRU my first choice and that if accepted I would put down the deposit that day.
He replied thanking me for my interest. So, that was my last plug.
BTW - congrats to your other acceptances. You have some pretty good back ups. I almost applied to UPitt.
