Pretty amazing some of the kids that got waitlisted. Any chance CWR is doing that to boost its yield by not giving straight-up acceptances to kids it thinks aren’t going to accept?

DS Waitlisted RD. Did you get another email to indicate you accept to be on the waitlist? I think someone said 4/1 is the deadline but thought Case said they will send out an email on 4/9 whether you accept to be on the list. I am a bit confused.
Deferred EA → Waitlisted RD
NY, neuroscience, Asian male,
1540/35, 14 AP + 1 college classes, 97UW/104W
sublime EC’s (volunteering at nursing homes, lab internship, PT job, competitive clubs, student gov, etc.) decent awards (AIME, NMSF, NHS, smaller STEM awards)
good commonapp essay, and (I assume) decent to solid LOR’s. I also submitted the application update form with some new EC’s and a solid “Why Case” essay
I was expecting to be yield protected anyways, and I’ve already gotten into a lot of better options (Pitt, Stony Brook, Fordham, URochester), so I’m not bitter.

Anyone know when to say “yes” that you are in for waitlisted? Portal indicates they will let us know on 4/9? Is that true? Didn’t want to miss the opportunity
I would think you can do that right now.

I guess the weather is comparable but are there any specific reasons your son would choose CWRU over UofT or UWaterloo?

Son has not decided anything yet. Still waiting for more offers.
Case sent out a wait-list email today. It wants weekly Friday check-ins for those on its wait list, like they’re our parole officer or something.

It gets better. In 2018, after several weeks of confirming the waitlist, they get to the point where they send mock financial aid packages to see if you would accept if offered admission with that aid package! But of course kid is still on waitlist! Most heart wrenching process we have ever gone through. Eventually, no offers off of the waitlist that year. Only offer to D18 was admission for the following fall. She said no thanks.

That’s a bad bait. May be thats their intent.
