Hello all! I thought I’d start a thread for CWRU applicants. I just applied this week. Who else has applied or plans to do so? And for those who were accepted—have you received financial aid info? Good luck everyone!

Congratulations! Would you mind sharing (approximately) when you applied? I also have a GPA that is above the 3.4 threshold (and I applied before the deadline), but I have not heard a decision yet.

Ah, OK! That's good to know. How confusing--someone from Pitt told me a few weeks ago that I should be looking at the Pitt Portal, not Apply Yourself. Right now there is no "Decision Status" anywhere under my transcript listings. I take it there is no "Decision Status" option at all until the decision is actually ready?

Congratulations!!! That gives me hope that I might see a letter in the coming week although my online accounts still say nothing. 1. How soon before 12/31 did you apply? 2. Interesting that you cannot find your acceptance online. I'm finding the online systems a bit confusing. According to my "ApplyYourself" page (i.e., the page used to create and submit my application), my application was submitted on 12/31 and was "completed" days earlier. It also lists all of my transcripts and letters as being received. But then according to my UPitt "applicant account" (i.e., the account login I received a few days after submitting my application), my application is "incomplete." I am hoping the second one is a mistake, because I definitely submitted all relevant material (letters, transcripts, everything) well before the 12/31 deadline.

And because I can't stop spamming this thread: For the people who have already received online acceptances through the portal, how much later did you receive your snail mail acceptance?

I would give them a call. I've spoken with folks in the admission office before and they are very, very friendly. I think this is worth calling about, especially because it sounds like you already submitted everything you needed to submit. I had something similar right after I applied (it showed duplicate transcripts, with some saying "not received" although they had been sent weeks earlier), but that disappeared and it now says "Complete" for me.

Are any other Priority Deadline (12/31) applicants waiting for their decision? I know it's only been 3.5 weeks, but I'm wondering if I should be concerned at all...

Thanks for sharing! So when you say "average range 6k-12k a year," I assume you mean that is the (reported, according to SSW last fall) average scholarship for 3.4+ GPA students who apply by the priority deadline?

Sammy, what school are you talking about? That might help.

I have a feeling the next three or four weeks will pass very slowly! I'm seeing all sorts of information on merit funding in previous threads. Some people reported receiving $7k/year, and others up to $18k/year. For those who are admitted through the priority application deadline and criteria (i.e., apply by 12/31 with 3.4+ GPA), I wonder if there is a floor for how much merit aid one will receive. So far $7k/year is the lowest number I have seen, but the sample size (just a handful of people on this website) is extremely small.

Is this the same website that we used to submit our application in the first place? Or something different? Because when I log in, all I see is information re: my application being submitted and complete. Nothing about any decision (yet).

I was just about to start a topic like this! (Although I haven't been admitted yet.) I applied right before the 12/31 deadline, and I have a GPA higher than 3.4 (i.e., the threshold described on the school webpage for priority admission and scholarship consideration), so I am crossing my fingers for an acceptance. I see from the Results page that at least one other 12/31 applicant has already heard back. Who else has heard, or is waiting to hear? And to echo what TooExcited said, I would love to hear any insights about typical funding! Based on threads from previous years, it sounds like some people receive as much as $5-9k per semester, but I have no idea what is typical.

Congratulations! Mind if I ask when you applied, and what your GPA is? Also, did you apply to any of of the special scholarship programs?
