<p>I'd say you have a good chance</p>

3

<p>I think your SAT scores might hurt you.</p>

4

<p>thanx for the replies.... do you think giving an interview would help? is it worth a 5 hour drive?</p>

5

<p>bump bump please</p>

<p>Hi, artin90,
are you applying EA or RD?</p>

8

<p>Case is self selective. I think u have a chance.</p>

9

<p>RD i know i should have done ED because i really want to go here.... but oh well</p>

<p>buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump</p>

<p>Artin,
Case seems to have had more many more apps than expected EA - so RD is not such a bad thing in this time around. If you have any additional information to send this spring (ec projects, competitions, etc.) I would encourage you to send an update letter. Stress that Case is your first choice. Make sure your GC knows this also. </p>

<p>Your midyear grades will be very important. Actually, your final grades, should you be wait-listed, could turn out to be important, too. Don't give up. You are not at shoe-in, but you certainly have a shot.</p>

12

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>I think you have just a slight reach... I agree with liek that you SAT scores will definately hurt you. However I think that it leans more towards the shot side than reach. Why not try the ACTs? If you get into the 1350+ range, I think that if you do get about 1350, Case will be a good shot for you. I applied EA and had an interview and my interviewer told me that I am a decent candidate (that is with 31 ACTs and about the same GPA as you). However I will not be able to find out since I was required to withdraw it. Best of luck! Case is a wonderful school. You should definately think about visiting their campus. To me it was a pretty nice campus (but also I had a lot of negative impressions before I visited it- it was a very long drive, 8 hours!). Also, you can contact their admissions office and try to schedule an interview in your area (that is what I originally had to do, but I was able to convince my mom that I should be able to apply to Case and that I would be ready for an 8 hour drive).</p>

<p>well the next ACT test is in february isnt that too late?</p>

15

<p>buuuuuuuuuump</p>

16

<p>buuuuuuuuuuuuump</p>

<p>Case got a lot of apps, and hasn't completed processing the EA's. It would be worth a call to admissions to see if they would consider the February ACT.</p>
