I’m not a complete expert on either, but I’ll try to help you out…

College of Wooster is a smaller LAC located in a suburb, and naturally is bent to the social sciences (~27% of people major in something along those lines). Unfortunately, that’s all I can confidently tell you about it, as it is not a school I am looking at.

Case Western is a medium-sized research university in Cleveland. While you can definitely study a variety of subjects, it is well known in the field of science. (~24% major in engineering). Although it is not very selective–in CC standards, of course-- students there are very intelligent. It is a school that is known for working people hard, and thus has a self selecting pool of applicants. Many people that apply use it as a safety school, with reaches including Ivies and other very selective schools.

Hopefully that helped a bit! At the very least it bumped this thread :)
