Hi everyone! I will be coming to case western as a spring admit and I was thinking of using my AP credit to skip chem 105 and go to chem 106. I was wondering if anyone has done this, and how hard it was to assimilate to the class after skipping the first chem (Is it much harder to get a good grade? Was it a steeper learning curve? How much more time did you have to put into the class? etc.). The last time I took chemistry was AP chem in junior year and I received a 5 on the exam, but I do not know if this is good enough of a base for chem 106.

My concern is being behind other premed students and I would like to avoid having to take a organic chemistry class the summer after my sophomore year. That is why I am considering skipping the first chem level. Is there anyway I can prepare as well? Right now I am just reviewing what I did in AP.

Thank you for your input!

hi! so i’ve been trying to gauge my chances of getting into different universities on my list. i’m taking dual enrollment courses (completely on a college campus), and am on track to graduate with my associates degree next semester. i have a 4.6 w gpa, and (3.9 uw), a 30 ACT, and semi-average ECs. i founded a neurodiversity club during junior year, which had an associated mentorship program where members would mentor incoming freshmen from our neighboring middle school. i have a part-time job (10-15 hours a week), 120+ volunteer hours (from a summer camp), and also am a school ambassador. i’ve also been playing piano for 8+ years, of which ive received 15-ish “superior” ranking awards on the state level across that period, and 2 “excellent” ranking awards on the national level. 

i’m aiming for a neuroscience/related science degree. 

im currently taking chem i, intro stats as far as stem courses. i plan on taking chem ii, physics, and qualitative analysis next semester.

do i have a chance? let me know. 

are there shadowing programs you can apply to at UH and Cleveland Clinic or do you find and email physicians? for the programs, how competitive are they and when do their applications typically open/close?

Has anyone compared CWRU’s Net Price Calculator estimate with their actual financial aid offer?

I’m interested in hearing from recent applicants or parents, especially anyone who used the NPC before applying ED or EA.

About how close was your NPC estimate to the actual net price CWRU later offered?

I’m particularly interested in cases where the difference was large.

Hi, Does anyone have a certain study method that worked with Chem 106 for them, I am really struggling and don't really know what else to do, i cant finish the work because i am struggling with content and application of that content. i have read the textbook, used gizmo, tried handwritten notes and done khan academy, If anyone has any weird way that worked please help!

I finished one of my classes and got a notification for SIS that I got an “I” for the class, but I got an A on every homework and exam

I know Case is huge for STEM but I visited and really liked it so I want apply. I plan on majoring in poli sci and I’m just wondering what’s it’s like for the non STEM majors! Thanks!

Do professors ever cancel an afternoon lab the day before Thanksgiving? Thanks.

Hi — I would appreciate your thoughts on these points because I am really confused with the directions on the CWRU website-
I am thinking of applying to the Case Western nursing program.
The website notes the university admits students to the university rather than a specific major  ( with the exception of nursing and music).
What happens if I list nursing as my second choice in my application?
Will I still secure a seat in the program, or must I apply for a transfer a year later?

Are you a college upperclassman, recent graduate, or early-career professional (ages 18–30) living in Northeast Ohio? Do you feel challenged by the current job market, inflation, or the rising cost of living?

I am conducting a series of brief phone/zoom interviews to understand how young adults in the region view their economic future and the traditional concept of the "American dream." This is for an upcoming story in Crain's Cleveland Business.

Is this reasonable? I am a prospective student and am planning to major in Biomedical Engineering on the Pre-Med track. I want to pursue dermatology in med school after undergrad and am planning to pursue the biomaterials track for the biomedical engineering major. Has anyone else done this, and is it doable with a decent GPA for a good med school?
