You will definitely work harder than you ever did in high school, but at the end of every class, you will also know that you actually learned something. Everyone at Case is very focused on their career goals, and the coursework teaches you exactly what you will need to achieve those goals.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Case has become a second (or first) home to me. Despite the amount of work, students do still have fun. And, even if we are working on a problem set together, the pain is negated by how much I enjoy working with my wonderful friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I'm sure you know that Case is expensive, but they are also very generous with scholarships. However, keep in mind that all merit-based scholarships are GPA dependent, and you will have to earn your 3.0. Also, your admission application (common app) is the scholarship application, so you might as well apply!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to check out Case Greek life. It doesn't fit the normal stereotype, and you will meet a lot of great friends.
Go to the book swap for super cheap used textbooks.
AND develop time management skills early freshman year. If your GPA starts high, then you never have to pull it back up.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who thrive in an academic environment.
If you are content discussing pokemon and star trek for hours, then you will fit right in.
If you want to party with friends, then you will also fit in. However, you might have to limit yourself to one night during the weekends, and do work during the other.
