[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child picked Rochester over CWRU.  Merit money was the same.  We liked both campuses.  The decision came down to the difference in the admissions systems.  With CWRU, it felt like they were implementing a yield-management strategy.  With Rochester, he felt like they actually wanted him to attend. [/quote]

Yes feels like Case leans a bit too heavily on yield management but I think Case tends to offer more generous merit scholarships than Rochester. DC looked at Case and Rochester this cycle, so I dug into the numbers. Case seems more generous- 70%+ of admits get merit, averaging about $25–30K/year vs Rochester where roughly half get merit and the average is ~$15K/year. DC ended up applying only to Case (not Rochester) and got $42K/year merit in the EA round- definitely felt like they wanted my kid. [/quote]

$42 a year in merit? Yes, I would say that they wanted your kid PP!
Case is very generous with merit to all students but $42K is definitely on the higher side.[/quote]

I heard $48k/year was the max merit this cycle aside from full-tuition award that require a separate application.[/quote]

Congratulations to your kid PP! A huge merit award to attend an excellent school. Your DC did well.[/quote]
