atomizer Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 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!
mswgrad Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I applied January 12th and haven't heard back yet!
UIC2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I applied as a last minute decision in Jan. But now Case is my top choice. Good luck to all! Deadline is tomorrow so maybe we will hear soon!

Deadline is tomorrow so maybe we will hear soon! I'm glad they extended the priority deadline to tomorrow, because I didn't have my application ready by the regular deadline. I hope they review a bunch and start making decisions after tomorrow! There isn't a lot of information in previous years' threads, but it seems like CWRU can take 6 or more weeks to render a decision from the time of application. It's going to be a long wait...
atomizer Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Also, a question about funding: Is this the first year that CWRU has promised every admitted student $20,000 in merit aid? It's nice to offset the high cost. I hope the school is still generous with scholarships beyond that...$20k is very generous, but the remaining price ($60k) is still pretty darn high for an MSW.

From what I've researched it seems like the first year, but I honestly do not know. Hoping for full funding! I'm afraid to take on that much debt especially for MSW as you mentioned. ON the other hand I really want to go there!
K_vegaaa Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I applied for the MSSA (Advanced Standing Program) I turned in my application a week and then the next week I got accepted.

Congratulations! That’s very fast—the school rep I spoke with said the average turnaround is 6 weeks. Two questions, if you don’t mind: (1) when did you apply? (2) did you receive any aid beyond the automatic $20k?
mkern2 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Hi all, I got my acceptance this past week (I applied late December)! I got $25k total as well as a $4k field scholarship, but it still leaves a lot that I would have to cover out of pocket /:
atomizer Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 For those who have been admitted: (1) Was it via email? Letter? (2) Did you receive scholarship information with the acceptance, or did it come later? How much later? I applied a few days before the February priority deadline, so I still likely have another month to wait. But I have other offers on the table and am trying to predict when I'll have all of the information I need to make my decision.
mswgrad Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 I found out I got admitted yesterday via email, but haven't received my package in the mail yet. The email said that the package arriving by mail would include my scholarship info, but it didn't say the amount over email, and when I called to ask, they did not have the info yet either. Not sure how long the package will take to receive.

mswgrad Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Thank you!!! I submitted my application January 12th.
mkern2 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Hi! I applied late December and got my decision about 2 weeks ago. I got the financial aid package in the mail less than a week after I received the acceptance email.
jlo44 Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Hi yall! I applied mid-Jan and was admitted the 18th of Feb. I found out by looking at my application status online and I received an email a few days after. I still haven't received anything in the mail from them but I have my fingers crossed it arrives soon!!!
atomizer Posted March 5, 2018 Author Posted March 5, 2018 I was accepted last week Now just waiting on the scholarship information. I know we're all guaranteed $20k, which is cool, but I'm hoping for more because Case is quite expensive. How much have other received in merit-based aid?
UIC2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Congrats! My app is still under review. ?Have an interview with Hunter in NYC in 2 weeks but i am getting very impatient!!

Teemah Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I submitted my application on the 15th of February. For the past 3 weeks it's been saying my application is under review but it has changed to submitted. I have no clue what is happening.

I recevied the guanteed 20k with 4k in field scholarship. Was really hoping for more. And actually contacted the finacial aid office to advocate for more funding. Still waiting...And Still waiting on a small affordable program to get back to me with an admissions decision. My heart says go to case but my brain says wait it out for the more affordable program.
Yuwei Zhang Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Did you guys have interviews with CWRU? Cause I received an interview request, and I didn't hear about that before.
UIC2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I did not receive a request for an interview. Just an email with acceptance and then an admission packet was mailed. Yuwei Zhang 1
