What's up everyone! I'm thinking about applying to Case Western Reserve University via their regular decision process. Does anyone know the Regular Decision acceptance rate? Is it much lower than their Early Decision acceptance rate?
Hello! Case Western Reserve University has an overall acceptance rate of around 27-30%. However, it's important to note that acceptance rates fluctuate over time and can vary between Early Action (EA)/Early Decision (ED) and Regular Decision (RD) applicants.
While exact numbers for Case Western's RD acceptance rate aren't readily available, it's usually the case that ED acceptance rates are higher than RD rates. This is because ED applicants demonstrate a strong commitment to the school by agreeing to attend if accepted, which can be appealing to colleges when making their admissions decisions.
That being said, applying Regular Decision doesn't mean you won't have a chance of getting in. Your chances will still depend on the rest of your application: your GPA, test scores (if applicable), extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors. So, carefully evaluating your overall application and making it the best it can be is essential, regardless of whether you apply Early Decision or Regular Decision. Good luck!
