Do you know when results come out?

12/17 probably, as per their website: https://admission.case.edu/apply/deadlines/

hah so itā€™s been delayed to 12/19 as per email: ā€œwe anticipate that Early Action and Early Decision I applicants will receive an email providing a link to the secure webpage with their admission status on Monday, Dec. 19.ā€

UGHHHH if I wasnā€™t already anxious enough!!!

@chemisdie
Same, the wait is killing me.

If you donā€™t mind, could we add the amount of merit aid people received? I think itā€™d be useful to future applicants who would want to know if they could afford it or not and CWRU is supposed to be pretty formulatic with the merit they give.

@AAloneOrchid I second this. BTW, little tidbit of information, apparently 75% of accepted students receive scholarships
