<p>So I'm applying to Case mostly because the appliction fee is free and I've been emailing with the soccer coach. An added bonus would be the strong academics but the huge draw back would be the location. I was wondering how much merit money I could get?</p>

<p>There was a really good thread earlier this year that mentioned actual class rank and SAT/ACT cutoffs for specific merit scholarships. However, these standards came from an old CWRU bulletin, so they may be a little out of date. But, nevertheless, they may give you a general idea of how much merit aid you might receive. </p>

<p>Being from the west coast, we had our concerns about Cleveland too. However our visit completely turned that around. We were very impressed from the cab ride, to the downtown, to the campus, to the area around the campus. Case was the last school we visited and that visit put case at the top of DS’s list.
He is now a very happy 1st year BME major at Case.</p>
<p>A OOS male with stats not as good as yours received $20000 per year in merit aid.</p>
