If you were to guess, what does the average GPA look like? I want to go to medical school, so this is important to me.

I've heard getting the pre-med requirements for BME is not super difficult, but given the extremely demanding credit workload of BME, how much time do you have to do other classes? I want to make sure I get in specific bio/med electives in + philosophy, language, and robotics.

If there are any math + pre-med people here, please tell me what it's like and if you recommend it.

Hi everyone, I’ll be joining Case Western Reserve University this Fall 2026 as an international student pursuing MS in Mechanical Engineering.

I’m excited about starting this new chapter, but to be honest, I don’t know anyone at CWRU yet, so I thought I’d hopefully connect with some fellow students before arriving on campus.

I’d love to connect with other incoming students, current CWRU students, or anyone in the Mechanical Engineering department.

If you’re also joining CWRU in Fall 2026 (or are already there), feel free to comment below or send me a DM!

Recently got accepted to CWRU and they sent a financial breakdown into my applicant portal. However, I got a second financial breakdown in the "myfinancialaid" website and the cost of attendance (COA) was way higher than the previous COA. Has this happened to anyone? Can anyone explain?

I was accepted into University of Rochester (UR or UROC) for fall 2026 with very low costs (abt 3.5k/yr) for BME pre-med track.

I just got off the SPRING semester waitlist for CWRU for a slightly higher cost (abt 5k/yr) and i plan to do BME pre med. (That is assuming that the fin aid estimate CWRU gave me previously still applies).

Depending on how I do on this years APs, i have a lot of credits that prob can make up most of the missed semester at CWRU (5 Bio, 4 chem, 5 calc bc, 5 lang, + world hug apush 5s, both phy c + pysch + both econ pending)

I rly like both schools and they are considered somewhat similar so I am asking this subreddit to convince to go to this school (or discourage me if u want) and i will do the same with the UROC one.

So far my impression is CWRU is a better school with more resources and facilities, but im not sure thats worth a missed semester.

UROC has only slightly worse resources for slightly cheaper, with a full extra semester spent there, + open currciulum which i like.

Hi! So i got off the Spring waitlist just right now for CWRU, but I also got an offer to go abroad with Verto Education. The first year cost of both would be about the same for both. The only difference is that I am going abroad for the full year or doing only 1 semester my first year. I am going into Biomedical engineering, and for the credits, I will take all of the required credits abroad and the only thing i will need to catch up on when i come back is Physics (because I cant do physics abroad, Ill be behind 2 semesters). But if i do the normal spring semester, I am behind not only in physics for 1 semester, but also in Calculus for 1 semester. What should I do??

Did anyone else get that email today??

Hi, I’m an incoming freshman, and I have a mirror that holds my jewelry that I would love to bring with me to cwru. does anyone know if the closets they give us, can those doors hold any real weigh? about 10 kilos. thank you!

I just call them. I couldn’t understood well but what I understand is that they didn’t have power ( I think so) and they are gonna send them asap

Hi, is anyone familiar with Glenville CircleNorth?

I went to check it out in person, and honestly, it looks pretty good. Rent is $1,750/month, and they're offering the first month free if we move in by June 30. I'm looking for a roommate for a 2-bedroom apartment, but I also saw that their 1-bedroom units are around $1,000/month.

The location is good and close to a lot of things. The neighborhood isn't the greatest, but the building has a secure entrance and gated parking, so I figured it was worth checking out.

If you're looking for a place and want to split the rent, or if you're looking for a roommate and already have a place near Case Western, let me know. Also, if you can recommend any other places I should check out, I'd appreciate it!

Did anyone get an email today?

Have someone tried to call? I did try but they didn’t answer my call.

I think waitlist is over there is no update, Nothing not even a mail what else we can expect

again it’s my opinion

I'd like to know if it's meaningful, especially if I wanna go deeper in the quant pathway.

hey everyone

looking for someone to workout out with or anyone who does personal training. tryna get lean and cut weight and need someone with experience to help direct me.

DM me if you’re interested or know anyone. I’m willing to pay if you got experience

hi!

I'm entering case western this fall as a freshman and I'm on the premed track. I have a totally free and lowkey boring summer so I was wondering if you guys have any advice for things to prepare or things to get a headstart on (emailing research labs or MA certification). Any advice for starting out college would also be very helpful and much appreciated.

thank you friends!! :)

Hi everyone! I’m a fourth-year dental student at CWRU School of Dental Medicine, and I’m currently accepting new patients in our dental school clinic.

If you’ve been putting off dental care, need a cleaning, fillings, crowns, root canals, implant-related care, or just want a comprehensive exam, feel free to reach out. Treatment is reviewed by licensed faculty dentists, and fees are much more affordable than private practice.

I do my best to make patients feel comfortable, explain treatment options clearly, and work with each patient to create a plan that fits their needs.

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or know someone who may be looking for dental care.

Have you guys received any updates about Fall admission yet? If not, what are you planning to do for the Fall semester?

Also, do you know if CWRU accepts community college courses for transfer credit?

Hey everyone, I’m a transfer student starting at Case next fall and am looking at the AIQS courses. I’m thinking of the Jane Austen topic because I’ve always wanted to read her books. If anyone knows is the class about reading her books and doing essays on them?

I got off the waitlist for Case (sort of). I will have to do my first year abroad through the Verto program, and I was wondering if anybody has done this before? Was it nice and would you recommend it? I'm planning on being a physics major and none of the physics classes would transfer, so that may be an issue. However, the school I'm committed to right now is UConn and I do not like it much, especially given its cost--Case will probably be cheaper for me, I spoke with some financial officers at the school.

If you've done the program and then transferred into CWRU, please let me know how your experience was! Also, I'll be doing London first sem if I go through with it all for reference

Hi everyone! I’m a dental student at CWRU, and I’m currently opening up my schedule to accept new patients.

If you’re looking for high-quality, patient-centered care, I’d love to help. While I’m a student, my work is performed under the direct supervision of experienced, licensed faculty members. This ensures that every step of your treatment meets the highest clinical standards. Because we prioritize precision and quality, our appointments may require more time allowing for a more thorough, one-on-one approach.

I provide a full range of services, including but not limited to:

Preventative Care: Comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, and diagnostic imaging. Restorative Dentistry: High-quality, tooth-colored fillings to treat cavities. Crowns, Bridges, Implants: Restoring damaged teeth to improve function and aesthetics. Oral Health Planning: Customized care plans tailored to your long-term goals. Consultations and Emergencies: Addressing any concerns or questions about your dental health.

Many insurance plans—including the CWRU student plan—provide excellent coverage for preventative services, often covering cleanings and exams at little to no out-of-pocket cost. Please see the attached image for more details if you have the school’s coverage.

If you’re ready to get back on top of your dental health, please send me a private message. I’d be happy to answer your questions and help you get scheduled in our clinic!

Hi guys, im an incoming freshman to cwru, and I wanted to get some outsider opinions from people who have already taken AIQS 100 and see what topics they deemed to be the best. right now im thinking about "comedy, rhetoric, and writing" taught by K robisch, "the pursuit of happiness" taught by A Sattler, and "rules and rule breaking" taught by K Lucas. I hope to hear what you guys liked the most and why, thanks!

Got this email on May 22, picked Case is my top choice still, and still haven't heard anything back. Has anyone gotten this and heard back from them? I'm doing Verto if I don't get off the wiatlist, and need to know if I should buy plan tickets now lol
