@tguan916 I still have yet to visit URoch (will visit next week), so CWRU is still one of my top choices. It’ll probably come down to the opportunities both schools have to offer. I don’t believe either school can truly outweigh the other, but hopefully I’ll be able to gauge it soon. Do you think a scholarship of $7k/yr is a big enough difference?
Also, what do you mean by work study?
A paid research opportunity as early as freshman year seems a like wishful thinking, but I’d be more than happy to apply for one if it really is possible to obtain this position or something else of similar caliber. What is your experience with this? Or do you know anyone else with this experience?
Ah, it’s good to know that I won’t have to worry about extracurricular opportunities! I’m still not entirely sure if it’s worth the full tuition, but maybe some stroke of luck will grant me some merit aid if I do get off the waitlist somehow.
Thanks for your input!
