I’m wondering what my son’s chances are of being admitted. He is a rising senior and he has an SAT score of 1480 (780 Math and 700 Reading/Writing). His GPA is 3.71 UW and 3.97 W. Class rank is 37/294. He has taken AP Physics, APUSH and AP Environmental Science. His senior year he is registered to take AP Chem, AP Calc BC, AP Computer Science, and AP Stats plus English, PE and a mobile app maker class. He is planning on doing a visit this summer probably in July. Junior year he got all A’s or A-‘s in his courses. He has gotten 1 C Sophomore year in Spanish 3 and all other grades where A’s and B’s. He wants to study mechanical engineering. So just wondering what his chances of being admitted are. Thanks.
Numbers look competitive. Your HS guidance should have already given you (ask them if not) Naviance access so you can check your school’s admit history with Case for a more quantitative idea. Case likes demonstrated interest. Sign up with admissions for the tour and request a class sit-in in advance of visit. If have time, wander surrounding area as well.
Thank you. The school does use Naviance but there’s no data for Case Western. Most kids seem to apply to more local schools. Thanks for the suggestion about sitting in on a class. Hopefully we can schedule that.
I agree that the numbers look competitive…
Case “considers” the applicants interest so make sure to do the things that make sense:
