Certainly Case rejects some high stats students, and makes others go through weird machinations, but chancing is about predicting odds. Even with an 80% chance of a positive outcome, the opposite occurs one out of five times. Outliers will defy the odds.
@AustenNut, whose posts I enjoy and respect, gave the OP less than a 50% chance of admission, even though the OP has a high GPA and SAT, plus strong ECs.
With and acceptance rate of 26%, 5 times that of the highly rejective schools like Stanford and Harvard, 2 out of 3 accepted students in the top 10% of their class, 16% of accepted students having a 4.0, and the 75th SAT percentile of 1520, something weird would have to happen for this OP to be rejected.
With an accepted student profile like they do, they admitted a LOT of high stats students.
Chancing is a bit of a silly game. It’s simply my opinion that the OP is a match for Case Western. Is that a guarantee that they’ll get in? No. It’s about the odds, not the outcome. The only way you can explain lower odds than that is yield protection, which has to be the exception to the rule based on their CDS numbers.
