Are you all early acceptances, or is this regular decision? One of my sisters is waiting with baited breath, even though I told her Case accepts 83% of applicants :P

CaseSpartan10 · March 24, 2010, 1:01pm

Just FYI, Case accepts about 70% of its applicants, and applications this year went up 20%…so definitely don’t expect anything near 83%, not to say that Case doesn’t accept a very large percentage of of its applicants considering the academic rigor of the school.
