@bodangles I am sorry that you didn’t get in, but if Case was really THE place you wanted to go it doesn’t sound like that was communicated very clearly to their admissions people. Unlike many places, you would have had a very good shot at waitlist admission if you had accepted the offer along with a very explicit statement of your intent to enroll if admitted. Being May 1, it might not be too late if you are truly that interested. Of course, you have enough great schools to choose among as it is; you are in great shape no matter what you decide.
