We feel the disappointment, @c0ll3g3g1rl
You have to check the portal. No email was sent out @BasicOhioParent
I got an email notifying me of an update to the application. Accepted with $23k scholarship woo! ACT 34, 4.0 UW.
We never got an email either
ACCEPTED!!! (After getting deferred)
Biochemistry major
31 ACT, 4.15 W, ranked 7/400, good ECs, multiple leadership positions, overcame minor disability, and 8 APs
Showed interest by visiting, emailing about financial aid, and requesting an interview (although they never set one up)
Don’t wait for an email, there isn’t one. Just check your portal for an update
Congrats who were accepted. All others hopeful another door opens.
Yes, congratulations to those accepted.
@Winky1 I’m so sorry they sent those admitted weekend invites to you
@Winky1 @ambkeegan Am so sorry. I think both of your kiddos are well qualified and should be so proud of their achievements. CWRU keeps one of the largest WL file among the top ranking schools - they WL’ed 28% of total applications (7178) last year. Out of that, 4252 stayed on the list, and 586 were eventually accepted (assume everyone accepted from WL attended CWRU, that’s 45% of the total entry class of 2021). This is how they managed enrollment statistics. I have no idea what this year is like. Keep the above figures in mind. For many other top schools, being WL is as good as a solid rejection, but this is not the case with CWRU. Keep the effort up and contact admissions office, let the HS GC know that CWRU is top choice etc etc. Hopefully there will be good news for your kiddos.
@launching does he have any more decisions left out there? It seems so unfair! I would definitely call admissions counselor to talk. Does he have anyone who could write another recommendation?
Waitlisted to Engineering. 1570 SAT 3.99 UW GPA, 4.6 W. 12 APs, 13/806 class rank at large public high school. National Merit Finalist, Science Olympiad, A few leadership roles. Showed interest.
I used this as my Merit Scholarship first choice. Does anyone know if I can change to a different school now?
@launching Hoping he will get into one of those schools. They are both amazing. Rooting for him.
DD waitlisted. ACT 35 (36 super score), GPA 4.0UW/4.5W. Rejected PPSP. Very surprised to be waitlisted one after another.
Also wait listed
I was deferred EA
SAT: 1530 GPA: 4.0/4.0 UW
SAT II Chem: 790
4 APs: 3 5s and a 4
plus many other unique and interesting ECs
When I got deferred EA I was super surprised; my counselor called the school and I learned that the school was need aware. I have gotten accepted into many top institutions that are much more selective; I have only been wait listed at 1 school where I was expecting rejection.
If you notice, no one on the forum has said that they have gotten financial/merit aid above 35 K
To all the people surprised that they were wait listed/ rejected don’t be. Its not you, its because they don’t have the money to accept you. Just wish case had been more forthcoming about the switch to need aware; I wouldn’t have applied. Good thing they weren’t even close to the top of my list.
@Mickey2Dad , thanks. Honestly, she’ll accept her place on the waitlist. but she’s got nothing more to do. She has done everything possible. Even applied to scholarships. I am not sure why this school has been such a struggle for her. Best of luck to your son.
@Winky1 I agree. If you have done all those, there isn’t much left to do. The ball is in their court. Considering the sizable number of applicants they took off from the WL file last couple of years, you just have to wait and see what happens. Meanwhile, I saw you posted on the BU thread and congrats. There are many doors around, if one closes, many others will open for your daughter. Best wishes and best of luck.
Thank you so much @Mickey2Dad .
@plz
I am full pay so need aware didn’t apply in my case so either it was yield protection or just kids they determined were better fit. Congratulations to those who did get in.
I’m just super disappointed that I was waitlisted. CWRU waitlists so many people. I remember them sending a bunch of emails to apply. I have 33 ACT, 4.0 uw GPA, 4.7 weighted GPA, and I applied to the scholarships too.
