I have very similar credentials as you and also applying to BME. You have great ECs and test scores and have also done a great job at showing interest in the university. The only thing I can see hurting you is your UW GPA. All in all, you seem like a competitive applicant.
@bopper I didn’t do an interview when I went to campus. That’s why I requested an alumni interview. Also, I do read the e-mails for the most part, save for a few open house emails. I live six hours away from Cleveland, so a open house isn’t a viable option, especially given that my senior year is jam-packed with different things to attend to.
@STEMGuy2323 No problem if you can’t make an Open House…they understand that some people can’t visit until they are accepted. Good luck on an interview!
I don’t know if Case looks at weighted or unweighted…probably like most colleges they look at your grades and the difficulty of your curriculum.

@bopper They don’t really consider what you’re applying for from what I’ve heard. Single door admissions and such. Either way, I gave two major choices, so even if BME doesn’t work out in my favor, I think I have a good shot at Econ.
