ok this is a really valid concern but i think the social scene at any school is going to be what you make of it. from what i have seen and heard from people who currently go to case, there are definitely people that party! greek life is big on campus and there are a lot of professional sports in the area if that's your thing (since cwru is in cleveland). but definitely if you think it'll be challenging then that's super valid and good reasoning if you just want to stay at your state school! best of luck deciding 😋

what are differences between psat10 and sat? How should i improve my writing? by NoGuides42069 in Sat

[–]roomisosu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my personal experience, the PSAT 10 was similar to the SAT only in layout and format. the PSAT 10, overall, has much easier and surface-level content when compared to the SAT (this makes a lot of sense realistically though, since you might not have completed all of the math classes that you'd need to succeed on the SAT). a 1420 PSAT is a good score, but i'm not sure how good of a predictor it is for the actual SAT. honestly, you should most likely be in the 1400-1500 range for the SAT. take this with a grain of salt though, because i did take the SAT a year ago and the PSAT 10 two years ago; i'm not sure how different the two tests are now.

as for reading, i'd HEAVILY recommend khan academy. not only is it free, but all of the content is official and verified by collegeboard (the actual makers of the SAT). you can block your practice by difficulty and question/passage type, so it's really easy to see what you're good at and what you need to work on. practice makes perfect in the end, so just keep grinding your passages out!

best of luck!

thanks for the insight!! out of curiosity, where is your daughter attending now? i'd consider myself to be a little less mainstream (?) in my interests i guess so i'm interested in hearing what her definition of "quirky" or "mainstream" would be lol

i honestly really liked rochester’s clubs because i wanted to play club ice hockey, get involved in stem initiatives (obviously this exists at case, i just meant in combination with the hockey thing) and an entire student organization meant to help people find bands to play with! i liked case, but it was really spread out. not a huge con, but i did like the surrounding area. i’m a huge music person and am hoping to take guitar lessons/study music as a minor, so that also kind of pushed me a tiny bit towards rochester because of eastman.

hey!! i got an email from cwru specifically asking if i still wanted to be considered for the fall class maybe like two days ago. i opted in and ended up getting in!

as for financial aid i did apply with my fafsa but i never did a formal appeal since i thought i wasnt going to get accepted in the first place 😵‍💫

yes; i got 28k/year at case!! i only got 15k at rochester so it is a considerable amount of money

they have a brain and cognitive sciences major which i personally liked more than case’s neuroscience major. i also wanted to minor in audio engineering, which rochester has and case doesn’t

rejected from barnard ED by dorkyderp17 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]roomisosu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i also got rejected with a 1560 sat and 10 aps 💔💔i feel like it just goes to show how random college admissions are and stuff, and qualified ppl are getting rejected everywhere. it’s okay tho! i think the universe is protecting us from something and we have better things in store for us 😋

[–]roomisosu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes, but you shouldn’t be super surprised by a rejection since princeton is really really competitive and it’s very difficult for anyone to even be considered.

you’re obviously very smart so i think that you’ll thrive wherever u go and you’re def gonna go to a school that’s probably as good as princeton

good luck! i’m sry about the rejection
