[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc has lower stats than those posting so maybe it'll be more relevant for you, op. W 4.45. UW 3.9 gpa. 1460 SAT, accepted with $28k merit. Visited the school but no interview.[/quote]
Interesting.  Honestly, I wonder if it would be better to not submit high ACT + SAT scores.  [/quote]

Good thought. There seems to be "something" with schools like Case and VA Tech.  Like they can't stomach the though of being someone's 2nd/3rd choice.  Despite all of Case's efforts to manage acceptances, I think there yield is STILLridiculously low. Something like 19%  [/quote]

Because they are always going to be most people's 2nd/3rd choice.  Case is filled with kids who got rejected from their all of their T25 choices. Add in that it's Cleveland, which is not many kid's "dream location".  They had one year 2020 (so basically pre-covid for the applications) where they accepted over 1600 kids from the WL.  They only matriculated ~1600 that fall.  So can't tell how many from WL actually matriculated, but it demonstrates that the yield was terrible. [/quote]

FWIW, Cleveland gets rapped way more than it deserves. The University Circle area is great and the downtown is pretty decent for a midwestern city. Off course it is not NY, Chicago or Boston. I agree Case is often 2nd/3rd choice for kids applying to T25 and the yield needs to improve but it is a great school.[/quote]
