Since you applied ED, I would say that you’re more than likely going to get accepted.

@TennisBaller23 I’m 90% sure you will get in,

4

I will put you as a Waitlist

Did you get in?

I was accepted with 25k a year off. However, I did interview at CWRU, applied PPSP, sent supplemental materials, and kept in contact with the admissions counselor of my area. My interview was phenomenal, and I truly didn’t have much doubt of me getting in to the university.

@TennisBaller23 interested to hear this - you applied ED (not EA) and received a scholarship of $25K/year? I didn’t think that Case was providing merit scholarships to ED students.

@TennisBaller23 I like your username :smiley: I am applying for case early decision II :smiley:

@ProudDad26 I contacted admissions and they said " decision plan has no bearing on merit money awarded."

My daughter was also accepted ED and received substantial merit aid.

@TennisBaller23 What was the interview like, I am interviewing at Case next week and I would like to know what to expect
