<p>I would say you have a pretty good shot, but if you can take the SAT and bump your scores up a little that would definitely help. I can tell you that four years ago you would have got in without a question, but now that Case is receiving more applications and their standards are rising, its becoming less predictable.</p>

<p>Side-note: Contact the swim coach if you’re interested in swimming at Case. He can help you along the application process and answer questions you may have. I also strongly recommend trying to compete in any varsity athletics while in college. (Coming from a Case Swimming Alum)</p>

<p>I think you have a really great chance at getting in! I was accepted with slightly lower SAT scores, plus your immense and varied extracurriculars are a big boost!</p>
