[ /list][ b]General Comments: not sure if I want to go, I mean i’m really lucky to get in to a place like CWRU but I hear the nightlife isnt that great and noone is very social. Plus I’m looking more into Business and I’m waiting on Syracuse, Fordham, and I’ve already been accepted into Bentley. Anyone know if the Business program is really good at Case? I keep getting mixed reviews =/. Good luck to everyone else![ /b]</p>

<p>I apologize for the sucky format, don’t know how to do that thing</p>

<p>I personally went to the admission.case.edu/statusCheck site just now, and it STILL says nothing except they’ve received my sister’s info. </p>

<p>"Case has received your application for admission. Please review the checklist below to see if we are missing any required documents. If you have any questions, contact us at <a href=“mailto:application@case.edu”>application@case.edu</a>. "</p>

<p>Nothing in the mail, nothing online or on her webmail (why do they give webmail to every applicant? waste of bandwidth :P). Other than waiting until Monday and calling admissions AGAIN, any advice?</p>

<p>@antarescrane…i got 4 friends that has 2000-ish SAT scores 3.6-3.9 GPA massive ECs and leaderhips…only one got accepted…so no…case might seem to accept everyone…but in reality, they are quite selective</p>
