Case Western Reserve University and Contacting Admissions Counselors

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, so after reading many posts on CC it seems as though CWRU tracks interest a lot when it comes to admissions. I was wondering if it is such a good idea to email my region admissions counselors and ask some questions about the school. How should I address the email and are there any questions I should definitely stay away from? Is this even such a good idea? Do you have any personal experience with this?</p>

<p>I would not ask a question unless you have one that isn’t answered on their website. Have you attended a campus tour? Did Case visit your high school and did you attend? These both represent interest. You can also do an interview with an alum near you <a href=“Alumni Interview Request”>https://go.case.edu/register/alumniinterview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I agree, don’t ask a question that is answered on the website. But you can email to ask about an interview or another specific question. You should visit if possible (take the official tour/information session), interview, get on the mailing list if there is one, attend any presentations in your area etc.</p>

<p>Also check out the CWRU forum: <a href=“Case Western Reserve University - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/case-western-reserve-university/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Case does track interest.</p>

<p>+Have you signed up for information? <a href=“Request for Information”>https://go.case.edu/register/requestinformation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>+Have you attended a college fair or high school visit?</p>

<p>+Have you attended a regional information session? (You get info for these if you sign up for information)</p>

<p>+Have you gone on a tour/open house if possible? <a href=“October Fall Open House”>October Fall Open House;

<p>+Have you signed up for an alumni interview if you couldn’t make it to campus? <a href=“Alumni Interview Request”>https://go.case.edu/register/alumniinterview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>+Asking questions is fine: <a href=“mailto:admission@case.edu”>admission@case.edu</a>
or you can ask the admissions counselor in your area; <a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Case Western Reserve University”>Undergraduate Admission | Case Western Reserve University;

<p>If the question is on the website, I would not ask it, of course but otherwise that is what they are there for. But don’t ask just to “show interest”.</p>

<p>I would address it as:</p>

<p>"Dear <counselor>,</counselor></p>

<p>I am interested in applying to CWRU this year and I had a question about…</p>

<p>blah blah blah</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>
