High stats applicant learns lessons the hard way.

I wouldn’t close that door just yet. CWRU is probably the most highly regarded school on your list, and they are known to be generous with financial aid.

Also, I did not see what you plan to study but CWRU is extremely strong in STEM – especially for anything related to medicine and biotech. Its other offerings are excellent too. Kind of nerdy, though, and the professors work you hard. It’s located in one of the better parts of Cleveland.

In sum, if the price is right you should at least visit Case to see if you like it.
