Case Western Reserve University Process

UTEC pre-selected students must apply to Case Western Reserve University following these general requirements: ​

• ► Estimated cost of attendance to the BME MSc (subject to annual variation) Case Western Reserve University offers students in the BME MSc program the opportunity to receive a 20% discount on tuition, subject to evaluation by CWRU.
• ► Admissions application
• ► Pay an application fee ($50 non-refundable)
• ► Application requirements (some of them):
• ► Academic History: Identify and upload an unofficial transcript from each post-secondary institution directly onto the application. If you are admitted and plan on attending CWRU, then you will be required to submit official transcripts. In order to alleviate the cost and logistics of applying, please do not send official transcripts in with your application. CWRU graduates do not need to send official transcripts, we can verify your information in SIS - please only upload an unofficial transcript to the application for review. International Students: Documents in languages other than English must be accompanied by certified scanned translations in English and/or a course-by-course credential evaluation from an organization such as WES, The Evaluation Company (formerly SpanTran), or ECE.
• ►English Proficiency Requirements (International applicants only): International applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency. Minimum language scores to gain admission are below; we do not offer conditional admission to applicants who do not meet the minimum language scores or qualify for an education waiver. The TOEFL, IELTS, and PTE are all valid for two years after the test date.
• TOEFL - 90 minimum if internet-based or 577 if paper-based (minimum of 80 TOEFL if applying to a Course Focused Engineering Masters  program). Scores can be sent officially through ETS using CWRU's school code 1105. * The School of Graduate Studies does not accept the DuoLingo exams, the IELTS Indicator, TOEFL MyBest Scores, or the TOEFL Essentials exam. Applicants must achieve a minimum of 90 on one exam date; exams will not be superscored. (We are currently accepting the TOEFL Home Edition.) IELTS - 7.0 minimum (minimum of 6.5 IELTS if applying to a Course Focused Engineering program). Please do not send scores officially, simply include your TRF number on your application and we can verify your score online. 
• ► Test Scores: Since admission requirements may vary by program, applicants should confirm with the host institution whether this applies to the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering program. To our understanding, the GRE is not a requirement for this program.
• ►  Recommendations section: Most departments require three letters of recommendation to be submitted from those individuals sufficiently familiar with you, and who can assess your academic preparation, abilities and accomplishments. Letters should be from your most recent instructors in your proposed field of study. If you have been out of school for several years, one letter may be from your employer, supervisor or other person familiar with your most recent activities. Your recommender will receive an email containing a link to submit their rating and letter through the online recommendation system.  If your recommender wishes to complete the recommendation by mail instead, have them mail or email their letter directly to your program department. If you are using Interfolio, select "To be mailed by the recommender"  and have the committee file emailed directly to your program department.
• ► Conduct and Behavior: Answer Yes or No to the following questions. If Yes, you will be asked to explain including dates, the nature of the offense, and name and location of the university or court, penalty, and additional information you want considered.
  • "Other than minor traffic offenses, have you ever pled guilty or been convicted of a criminal offense, or are there criminal charges pending against you? You may answer No to this question if the criminal adjudication or conviction has been expunged, sealed, or otherwise ordered by a court or be kept confidential."
  • "Has there ever been action taken against you for ethical/professional misconduct?"
  • "Have you ever been placed on academic probation, suspended, or expelled from a college or university?"
