[/ul]General Comments: At first, I wasn’t too worried about my chances, but when I heard applications shot up 50%, I started doubting myself… I have a feeling Case had to make some hard decisions this year, so for those who weren’t admitted, this means nothing about your other schools–have hope!</p>
