<p>The NY Times 2013 College Acceptance Rates are being posted. Case's 2013 admission rate is 39.13% again showing that Case is becoming more difficult to get into. 2012's admission rate was 54.08%. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/04/15/education/thechoice-2013-acceptance-rates.html/%5B/url%5D">http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/04/15/education/thechoice-2013-acceptance-rates.html/</a></p>
<p>Blue Poodle - this is encouraging, but I’m not sure exactly what it means. So many universities are gaming the admissions process these days. I do think that more students are beginning to recognize CWRU’s strengths. The school deserves high marks and should be within the top 30 school in the USA, in my opinion. We’ll see how U.S. News digests this. I suspect CWRU will be moving up this year.</p>
<p>From a current students view- the class of 2017 had more than 18,000 students apply, whereas 5 years ago, that number was less than 7,000. Case is a nationally recognized research university and with the amazing efforts of President Snyder, we are finally getting our recognition and being put on the map. When I came to Case, we were ranked #41, and only a few short years later we have jumped to #37. Hopefully that puts it into a little perspective.</p>
<p>Not disagreeing - and think this is great. Although a lot of schools are working to increase admissions stats. No cost admission certainly helps increase applications. I’m not sure how long Case has been doing that - prior to this year? I would be interested to see the admissions stats for this incoming freshman class. Don’t think it has been released yet. I certainly don’t think that determines the quality of a school, necessarily. But, a rise in SAT/ACT scores will more likely determine movement in the USNWR ratings. Regardless, I think that Case is an exceptional place and, in some ways, I like that it flies under the radar a little.</p>
<p>This makes me worry about my chances, though.</p>
