Case Western Reserve University Diversity Overnight!

Case Western Reserve University is currently accepting student applications for their Diversity Overnight, Nov. 11 and 12. Applications are due Monday, Oct. 1.

Diversity Overnight is designed for smart and curious high school seniors from diverse backgrounds, to give them an in-depth look at the opportunities available to our students.

Participants accepted to Diversity Overnight stay in a residence hall with a student host, engage with faculty and learn about the many opportunities available to students at CWRU and throughout our campus in Cleveland's University Circle. On Monday, participants will join hundreds of other prospective CWRU students at our Fall Open House, where they will learn more about how our students contribute to classroom discussions, participate in meaningful extracurricular activities and engage in hands-on learning. Case Western Reserve will cover the cost of meals and lodging for students accepted to this program. They are also able to assist with travel expenses and arrangements.

SCAD Information

SCAD

Campuses: One of the highlights of SCAD is that they have 4 campuses and online learning as well! Students can go to school in Atlanta, Savannah, Lacoste, France, and Hong Kong, China! If a student gets admitted, they can choose the campus they want to attend, and even study abroad in another campus if they choose. It's a great opportunity for students to learn about the world through the programs that SCAD has to offer. Savannah is their largest campus with about 10,000 students.

Admissions Requirements: GPA 3.0, ACT 21, SAT 1080 (they look at national test score averages to set their minimums).

Here's a full list of their admissions requirements and process: SCAD Admissions Information
-Advisers: Once a student applies, they will have an adviser reach out to them to go over next steps. They will also have, as a freshman, a student success adviser, a career adviser, and a faculty adviser! SCAD has built-in supports from different areas to ensure that the transition from high school to college is smooth. These advisers serve is distinct capacities to help with career, financial aid, and advisement decisions.
