Case Western and Merit Aid

[Anonymous]

I'm hoping people will share if their kids received merit aid from Case Western and what their stats/ECs looked like. We have a junior and are trying to gauge what could be reasonably expected as we are working on a college list.

Thanks!

Expect to get deferred.

Will let you know if a few weeks, but expecting waitlist perhaps due to yield protection.

Rough stats: 4.7 WGA, 4.0 UW, ACT 35

Might help if you visit to demonstrate interest. No idea.

Friend's son got in RD with similar stats after getting rejected ED at an Ivy. Very happy @ Case.

DD '20 got 25K for a 33 ACT, 3.95 UW, all of the STEM APs that her HS offered, including BC Calc and AP Physics C (for biology), average ECs (varsity sports, summer jobs, volunteering)
DS '22 got 40K for a 35 ACT, 4.0 UW, all of the same STEM APs at the same HS (for Engineering), average ECs (similar to sister)
Tuition did go up in the in-between years

S23 applied EA from NOVA for CS and was deferred. 3.98/4.5, 1560, NMSF. In person tour. Multiple virtual events. Opened as many emails and links as possible (you will receive a TON of emails). However, bypassed any opportunity for an interview. I think decisions are expected next Saturday (3/18)-can't remember if school published or rumor.

DC was admitted EA with a University Scholarship worth $38, 500/year. Stats are UW 4.0, W 4.6, full load of IB and AP courses, four years in PLTW engineering classes, IB diploma candidate, and pretty good ECs and internships.

DC was offered $37k last year, very high stats, had an interview.

OP here. Congrats and good luck to all of you! My kid's stats and ECs are slightly lower than those described so this was a good wake-up call for me. Kid is not interested in CS so I suppose that could help.

Generally speaking for all schools then, one needs to be above 75% for merit aid?

Like everything else, seems to be a crap shoot. My high stats CS kid did get merit aid at UMd, RIT, and RPI. Even with a big scholarship RIT and RPI are still super expensive.

And at CW being above 75% does not even get you admitted on EA so can't say on that one.

What do you mean? Was your DC deferred?
