<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what CWRU tends to like for music/creative writing majors:</p>

<p>*GPA: 4.19 weighted (going to rise)
3.82 unweighted (same)
*Rank: 31/317
*SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
*ACT: Taking it June 10th.
*9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 2 B's on my transcript and 1 b+), 10th grade i took 2 honors but got A's across the board, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors class.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/interesting facts:
*People to people student ambassador program (summer of 2002)
*GLSEN board member (helps teach others about diversity)
*junior mendelssohn choir (2 years i a row, and soon to be next year!)
*voice lessons (past 2 years and when i was 8 and 9)
*piano lessons (11 1/2 years)
*cantoring for my rabbi for high holidays
*jazz choir (including a performance at PNC park, Pittsburgh's baseball stadium--soon to be 2 years)
*chamber choir (most elite choir in high school-soon to be 4 years)
*County chorus
*Showchoir in middle school (7th/8th grade)
*District chorus
*Played piano for high school orchestra in 9th grade
*3 piano competitions in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade
*Classical Singer competition
*Music Theory class over the summer (coming)
*National Honors Society
*Played piano/sung in numerous nursing homes for the past several years.
* (I might be writing for the local "free" newspaper to get experienced w/writing).<br>
*6 months of Saxophone (5th grade!)
*1.5 years of guitar in 8th/9th grade
*Anime Club in 9th grade.
There are about 3 or 4 I forgot about by the way ^_^</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I'm not sure CWRU is the school I'd pick if I were a music/writing major, but IF you decide CWRU is for you, then I'd say that you're on the right track, provided that you raise your SATs...which, put bluntly, are dismal. I'm not going to argue the merits of the exam with you, but I would do whatever it takes to get over a 2000. The admissions people know that some people simply aren't good test-takers, but still...</p>

<p>As-is, I'd say you have a chance of acceptance, but if you can get a decent SAT, then you'd be in pretty good shape, in my humble opinion. Best of luck if you decide to go for CWRU.</p>

<p>You'll get in, their not that selective since their applicant pool is so small. I would visit before you decide to come here though, its not a school for everyone. </p>

<p>There are people at this school with 1000 SAT scores and GPAs under 2.5, yet they still managed to get in. So you shoould be good to go.</p>

<p>Advice on extracurrics: you can stop keeping track of what you did in elementary school & Jr. Hi. Keep a good list of what you did in HS, however.</p>

5

<p>just pick up your SAT scores or take the ACT... and show A LOT of interest in Case</p>

6

<p>case has a 95% early action acceptance rate how awesome is that</p>

7

<p>However overinflated their EA admission rate may seem, Case's mean scores for accepted students are also just as high. The bottom line is that the applicant pool is very self-selective; that is, most people will not apply if they deem themselves "unworthy."</p>

<p>It hardly means that they accept everyone that comes their way.</p>
