CWRU Need Aware Policy

How much does CWRU’s need-aware policy affect ED applicants??? I’m super stressed and worried because I’ve seen a lot of applicants from last year talking about how they were rejected simply because of how much tuition they could pay. Most of these people had stats higher than me and so I’m feeling kind of hopeless right now.

I’m in a tough spot where I would not qualify for a full ride, but I also cannot pay full tuition every year. In terms of financial ability, I fall right in the middle, so I’m worried about how that will impact my admission chances.
