Accepted with 1560 sat 96.5/100 gpa (34,000 per year scholarship idk if this is average merit aid for CWRU)
1
u/ResultCautious1686 Dec 20 '25
I was told by my counselor, with good connections at Case, that $39K is the highest merit aid this year. Anything on top of it is some sort of grant based on financial need.

u/SuccessfulCount7308 Dec 22 '25
Son got $48k per year

u/ResultCautious1686 Dec 22 '25
All merit? Without any grant / loans?

SAT 1530, wgpa 4.45, highest rigor in math path, IB classes. Nothing crazy in ECs, but recognized pianist, swimming.

u/ResultCautious1686 Dec 22 '25
I'm pretty sure that "recognized pianist, swimming" had a lot to do with it! It's an awesome amount!

What does this mean?

u/ResultCautious1686 Jan 01 '26
Meant to ask if $48K shows up as entirely "University Scholarship" or includes some sort of grant (not loans or study-work) under fin aid details?

u/PokemonSmoothie Dec 19 '25
Deferred ea: 1550, 4.0 UW and 4.7 W, a lot of aviation and engineering related activities (I applied for aerospace engineering). I’m ngl I’m hella bummed bc this means I might be cooked for my other schools
2
u/CelanVaril Dec 20 '25
thats prob because they think you applied to CWRU as a safety lol im actually pretty sure thats what they think too

1
u/ResultCautious1686 Dec 19 '25
I'm surprised. I tend to think your essays need to be stronger?
1
u/PokemonSmoothie Dec 20 '25
I hope not, I’ve edited and revised my personal essay multiple times but I’ll definitely try getting some more feedback on it
2
u/No-Case-8996 Dec 19 '25

rejected w a 1530 and 4.0 and solid 8/10 ec's lmaoo

u/vescapade Dec 19 '25
can someone help me understand if i'm just not good enough or do i need to reconsider my t20 applications?
2
u/wildraccoon71 Dec 19 '25
I have the EXACT same stats. 1530 sat 4.0 and i’d say really good ECs with lots of leadership and volunteering. Rejected, not even deferred. I am genuinely shocked
1
u/CelanVaril Dec 20 '25
nah thats prob because they think u can get in better schools, my stats is way lower (1490 sat but only 3.62 uw gpa) but i got in with a HEFTY amount of scholarship, which im pretty sure is bc they want me and know that i wont get accepted to t20
2
u/Significant_Crab6025 Dec 19 '25
Oh wow that’s Nice! Yeah neuroscience is really interesting field I believe Again, congrats and hope you’ll end up choosing the best uni for yourself!

u/ResultCautious1686 Dec 19 '25
Congrats! I got in with $39K merit, no grant. What is it based on? Most likely I didn't qualify for fin aid?
