<p>i got a president's scholarship: $20,800/year</p>

<p>Same as above.</p>

<p>So far, except for Atomic , it looks like the $ numbers are following last year fairly well, maybe a little lower.</p>

<p>lol, will anyone ever be deferred from case?</p>

<p>Last year there were a fair number deferred and none of those were accepted later</p>

<p>um yeah I got zip in merit aid</p>

<p>hellll yea i got a trustee scholarship/25,700</p>

<p>this is unbelievably cool</p>

<p>aarrrgh.....I am starting to feel guilty for encouraging DS to apply to Case - thought it was for sure a match - wouldn'thav mad him do the app if I thought it was a deferral or worse - still waiting to hear....</p>
