For those who say they got $40k or more in “Scholarships” are you sure you aren’t including grants for FA in that? If not what exactly were your scholarships called?

Ya i got Same as @tdampadu mine was closer to 60k after financial aid and Cwru grants
Also do u guys know when achievement scholarships should be coming out (like art achievement award)
I read a few times that people are concerned that they won’t get into Case due to their low EFC/ACT/SAT scores. I also thought Case would be a huge long shot for me, but I got my acceptance email on the 20th.
So my question is really to those who assumed they wouldn’t get in: did you guys also get in or was I just EXTREMELY lucky? (like seriously, my ACT & SAT scores were well below the ones mentioned)
@lum.sol What are your stats? Did you have a hook? (URM, first generation college, athlete, etc.) ED or EA? Somebody’s gotta be at the lower end of their range, so there must be other things you bring to the table besides just scores/GPA. Congrats and good luck!
Thanks.
My GPA was pretty high: 4.4 w
I took all honors courses (my school only has 1 AP class, but I didn’t take that)
I guess I have some good ECs: varsity soccer, academic quiz team, and national beta club.
I’m not first generation & i don’t think my personal statement was extraordinary, but i probably had some really good letters of rec to bolster that.

Looking at all the other applicants that had much higher stats and were more involved but were not accepted, I almost feel like I don’t deserve my position.

@Rosie99 Are you planning to enroll at Case? Did you apply ED2 anywhere?
My son was deferred, he applied to Mechanical Engineering. We had not previously gotten the chance to visit but are going to do so in January as it’s one of his top choices. Would love any advice for visiting and showing interest for deferred students…
to all who is accepted what is next?
@div3athelete
I am pretty sure, most people (among who got accepted) still expecting acceptance from some ivy or other schools. We will have better idea in 2 months. Only difference now is, “waiting game with happiness”.
However, we are 90% decided to go CASE for chemical engineering.
Next is,
- Registered for next open house in spring
- If possible visit one more time in winter
elena719, have not yet decided. I have other applications in elsewhere, but didn’t apply ED anywhere (only EA). I may do a return visit to Case to see what I think.
@htownjenny If your son wants to show continued interest, this article may be helpful. Good luck! https://www.collegeconfidential.com/articles/were-you-deferred
